I was totally disappointed with this. Total space requirement ended at over 70g. It is just another of a long line of first person, forward progression-type games. I'll be trading it in at the Game stop for something more enjoyable, like MineCraft or Pong.

As a fan of role-playing games and open-world sandboxes, I've long held a special place in my heart for the Elder Scrolls franchise. Since I was first introduced to the series with Morrowind back in 2002, I've spent countless hours exploring Bethesda's immense fantasy worlds in search of loot,...

Expansive; immersive world full of pleasing landscapes; Many intricate; involving quests; Complex but rewarding PvP

Multiplayer rarely feels like a crucial aspect of the game; PvP map is a bit too big for its own good

The Elder Scrolls Online features entertaining quests, dynamic combat, and a whole lot of other people. Sadly, those other people largely feel like an unnecessary addition to the game.

Entertaining; diverse; and well-written quests; Flexible but balanced character progression and combat; Good PvP setup

Poorly implemented voice chat; no text chat; Game systems work against positive player interaction

You can see how making a massively multiplayer version of a popular single-player role-playing game would look like a no-brainer to a publishing executive. The gameplay will be broadly portable and, if your game series is as long-running and voluble as Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls, the world and the...

When it launched on PC last year, the Elder Scrolls Online was an ambitious attempt to translate the single player-centric gameplay and epic storylines of Oblivion and Skyrim to a massively multiplayer format.

"Massively enjoyable and massively frustrating."

Upon entering the world of The Elder Scrolls:V for the first time, players are given the option of travelling almost anywhere, at any time, to hunt dragons, save villagers or simply wander the planes to discover hidden treasures, locales or dungeons.

For the sake of honesty I have to start this review by saying that I was hesitant going into The Elder Scrolls Online (TESO): Tamriel Unlimited, as it was by no means my first adventure into the game.

Alan checks in from Morrowind, the newest chapter of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls Online.

Plenty of memorable quests and characters; Noob friendly; Seamless grouping is a triumph; Nails that epic Elder Scrolls feel

Animation is clunky; Lack of minimap and quest glitches can be frustrating; You encounter hordes of other players in odd places

The Short Version: Tamriel Unlimited is neither a great Elder Scrolls game nor an MMORPG for the ages, but it's something else entirely. An addictive if often awkward compromise with an astonishing amount of quality subscription-free content.

Enormous facsimile of Tamriel to explore; Sensationally versatile class; skill; character creation and crafting systems; Revamped first-person combat feels fantastic; Loads of content; no subscriptions; A huge number of story & radiant quests fleshed out with lore and mini-narratives..

...that don't really make sense in an MMORPG; become mundane; Jarring disconnect between story and massive multiplayer destroys atmosphere and immersion; Tamriel still feels like a sterile showroom at times; slow and restrictive first few hours; Can be difficult to find groups and enter Cyrodiil PvP
