The Elder Scrolls Online: Class Breakdown

Bryan Dawson (Prima Games): The Elder Scrolls: Online is only a few months away. As we draw closer to the release, more and more details are beginning to trickle out. So far, five classes have been announced: Dragon Knight, Nightblade, Sorcerer, Templar and Warden. We don't have a complete breakdown of every class, but we know a decent amount about the Dragon Knight, Nightblade, Sorcerer and Templar.

The only thing I am wondering about the classes is they have said multiple times that "classes are only a starting point." Does that mean later on all abilities will become available so my character can use Spiked Armor and then use a Daedric Summoning skill? That's how they implied it with "classes are only a starting point" but don't know if possible. In other TES games we could always play and use any skills how we wanted.

Sort of. This is still a MMO so there is still min/maxing potential. Because of the level cap, there is only so much you can do on a single character before you're out of options. What Zenimax Online is touting is the ability to be a "jack of all trades" - but you will be a master of none as a result.

The way they have been touting "jack of all trades" they have always kept the multiple skill tress to the same class but with them also saying "classes are only a starting point." It seems like that may not be the case. The 2 skill tress I'm most interested in are Daedric Summoning and Restoring Light and each in a different class, so I'm really hoping to have cross class skills for my character.

Fucking stupid. what's the point in starting over and trying a new class if every class can be made the same in the end? Great way to kill the longevity of the game. It's the reason why the wife and I lost interest in Skyrim.

I remember Oblivion on the 360 I must have played that game several times over just to check out the different classes. I remember being genuinely excited at the beginning of each new play through because of it.

Good, I hate the Idea of these corporations trying to put people out of work. I honestly think we need to all start speaking up on the issue before things start getting bad.

Reaper22_33d ago

I agree but we also need to do that with other corporations. Not just in gaming. But I also fell that its inevitable because its all about the bottom line which is the almighty dollar.

What happens when people are out of jobs because of AI and robots being capable of doing the work of a human in less time and with out breaks. How will the corporations make money when the ordinary man is jobless and cashless unable to buy what the corporations are selling. How will it affect the corporations bottom line when they themselves put the working force out of work.

Trying to type fast before my phone resets.

well if we all feel its inevitable then it will be. I agree its just not about gaming, but its a good place to start.
