I've never really played on PC before, but I can see how a game like this would be worlds better. I just hope that they didn't cut it down too much for the PC players, just so the console players could have a turn.
That said, I'm definitely buying ESO in the console version. Not sure if it will be PS4, or Xbox One.

"Again I think because of the style of game we wanted to make specifically for PCs, a lot of the menus were already organized a bit like a console interface."
