Found it....I probably actually need a new machine though given the system recommendations....meh...might be fine.
See you on friday lol
This is a 21GB game?! For the love of....That's bigger then my operating system. That is a larger install then every game currently on my machine combined. What could possibly justify using that much space? and what do you mean by see you on Friday?

I do realize the online game is by Zenimax and not Bethesda, but as far as I understand there is no definite answer to the question : Will there be more single player Elder Scrolls titles? There is rumour that they are working on another Fallout game but Elder Scrolls single player experience might end with Skyrim.
Bethesda Softworks was founded as a limited liability company. Later the founder of bethesda co-founded Zenimax Media. Their respective HQ's are in the same building (not the same building complex - the same building). It's different faces of the same company. They actually operate by at least a dozen different names depending on what country your in. Same people though. The guy making a model for a fallout game likely works no more then 3 cubicles away from the guy who manages it's sales on a website.
The game woud have to really disappoint me this weekend.. I really loved dishonored and liked Skyrim. Both were a little serious and gloomy for me - but I can't knock the game play. Those guys just know how to make engaging games near as I can tell.

Welcome to modern gaming. Guild Wars 2 and LOTRO are a fair 18 GBs both (as are some FPS games, like Red Orchestra 2.) Just give yourself a pat on the back and be lucky that you don't play ArmA, that's like 40 GBs for me. - Actually, TESO is 29GBs.
I remember when we could fit games on floppy disks or a single cd, but that is a discussion for a completely another time.
- I do like ESO, and I have bought it. I, however, cannot say how long it will keep me; I expect it to stick with me for a good 2 - 4 months of active play, before slowing down. I highly doubt I will unsubscribe though, I mean, even though there are other games coming out (Such as Divinity), I have great interest in ESO and want to play it with my friends.

Is this a joke? Have you been playing DOS games or something for the last 15 years? I'm going with this must be sarcasm. If not, welcome to the 2000's

Then if they don't make any more, I just don't play any more. Life goes on. That doesn't make me want to play ESO any more than if they had the next Elder Scrolls game coming out next week. It's just a game. I play what they produce, if they don't produce, I don't play. Plenty of games in the sea.
I see the hype never dies. The game is just another turd released to cash in on a famous IP, and they will succeed yet again, it will go f2p once they've gotten their winnings and the hype has died out.
The combat is like a shit version of skyrims combat (which is already pretty damn bland), the writing is god awful and not cringing while you listen to NPC's is hard, it reminds me of guild wars 2 in that regard. It's not a new virtual world that the genre desperately needs and what it should be about but another virtual lobby where you will stand around and queue for different things while you jump around in a city. There's no permanency, everyone can just learn almost everything and then swap their skills around, crafting will blow because there's no item decay/loss. The world will be dead as shit as soon as the hype crowd has reached max level, nothing to fight for in the open world.
TLDR: The game is just another one of many released after the success of WoW with no vision except the vision of $.
My problem is that, while I like it, I don't see it being my primary game, and while I would gladly spend money on it, I don't want to subscribe and then feel obligated to play as much as possible "to get my money's worth."
I would much rather pay for cosmetic gear and items, player/guild housing, etc. on an a la carte basis.
Judging from reports about it, its a pretty substantial failure at basic tasts. Thus I wont bother with it at release. I dont rule out that I'll reevaluate that game later.

You sound like a sad depressed mofo, but I completely agree with everything you said
I've been watching a ton of youtube impressions and reading a lot of previews and I'm starting to come around. The PvP looks and sounds awesome, the ability to mix and match skills is awesome. It has a lot of potential, the devs just have to keep adding content after release at a constant flow.
I don't like the "get past the first ten levels and it's great". It should be great right off the bat or at least good or at bare minimum tolerable. I wouldn't read a book that the first ten chapters sucked, I wouldn't watch a tv show if the first ten episodes sucked. Why should a game get away with that logic?
I played enough free to play mmorpgs to realize that what I really want to do is play one that is pay to play and prefereably does not have free trial on thesame server.
Pre-ordered and will play in early start, join us !

Shame you don't make your own decisions about things. You could try the beta this weekend with the thousands of keys out there, but I'm sure the 'reports" you read must be right and it's 100% failure so just go with their opinions instead of your own right?
I find it interesting only 20% of the poll are people who don't like it and don't plan on playing it - but 80% of the comments here are from people who don't like it or are bashing on it. Vocal minority FTW.

I see what you are saying...clarifying it would help....
According to the poll at least, most will play it and the rest should stfu and move on. That's the way I see it at least.

Don't like it.
Bland, mediocre and doesn't have chat bubbles.
There's a chat bubble add on.
