Wat? They mentioned a system that specifically does not auto-attack. I understand what you are saying, and I have similar concerns, but it sounds like you already came in with an opinion and never bothered to watch the video

your right I didnt watch it all when I posted that, but I had watched/read other stuff on it. Ive watched it now, graphics are better than I expected, but still somewhat cartoonified.

anyway swtor was technically not auto attack either you hit 1 for each attack, did it really make a diffence? no was still standard autoaim mmo combat.

I garentee ESO will not have a crosshair. it has classes not skills. darkfall was much more of an elderscrolls mmo than this ever will be, lore excluded.

"We have twenty years of lore to draw upon that we just retconned to make three arbitrary groupings of races". "You can wear what you want although we rid the gameplay of weight actually affecting speed with the last one and the materials always went in a linear fashion". "Level 50 is the beginning even though every other ES protagonist ended up being a demi-god and plowing to the end by ~30".

Afaik it will be similar to TES: Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim etc.. with combat system. So it sounds like definitely a better fighting system than other MMO's like Gay Wars 2, WoW, SWTOR etc..

The video says otherwise. How can this be possibly true when it isn't in 1p camera ?

TES combat system sucks anyways... Even in Morrowind, Oblivion & Skyrim it sucked.

How couldn't it? I mean you could play in 3rd person in all the previous TES games anyways... Basically you just got block & attack key, I don't see how 3rd person could possibly prevent this kind of combat system.

6:19 to 6:24 may be in 3p, but at least I don't see a skill bar.

It only sucks because there's no directional attacking and blocking. They are literally that close from having a combat system nearly as awesome as the m&b series.

The 3rd person camera in TES games has traditionally been terrible. Only in Skyrim it started being ok for everything not involving actually playing the game (aka, making nice screenshots). It is not accurate enough, and your character blocks too much of your sight. It also ruins immersion for me but I guess that's a personal thing.

Still, it seems like a shit game for twats. That combatsystem, atleast according to the vid looked like same bullshit as all other MMOs. Magicalpants and levels count for 95% and 5% goes for you clicking your shithead abilities and whaling on your opponent without doing any of the actual work.  The combat may be similar to the other TES games, but its still same regular MMO type of crap if everybody has 5million HP and takes forever to take down while pulling off wierd and crappy lightshowattacks. Than it still ends up with just spamattacks.

Clearly I am extremely sceptical about this, as Bethesta doesnt really have any experience with multiplayergames. Their singleplayer games are legendary, but not multi.

Well, there's a reason why this isn't developed by Bethesda... "...Developed by the team at Zenimax Online Studios..."

And well, of course it's still MMORPG, if you don't like MMORPGs, you probably won't like this game. But at least I think that at this point it's going to be the best MMORPG I have played (at least hope).

Yeah, the combat looked absolutely awful in that video.
