A new trailer detailing character progression in The Elder Scrolls Online has been released, and you can see it below.
The MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) for Windows is still in beta testing, but due for release in Q1 2014. Zenimax Online has been carefully feeding us information since its announcement in 2012, while keeping a tight lid on the beta testing, to avoid leaks and early reviews.
This latest trailer explains how your characters in the game will progress. Like many MMORPGS, but not Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls Online features player classes and an experience system. You get experience by playing the game, and when you’re awarded an experience point, you can spend it on abilities in a skill line. You increase your player level by increasing a particular number of different skills.
There are worries that this might ruin some of the freedom that players loved in Skyrim, but Zenimax Online insists that the new classes and experience system will give you more choice and freedom to do what you want.
You can still sign up for the Beta if you don’t want to wait for the full release, but there is certainly a queue to get in and invites are limited. We have high hopes for The Elder Scrolls Online, but it’s worrying that what we have seen so far is a little generic, as there’s no shortage of fantasy MMORPGs on the market.
The Elder Scrolls Online has to stand out if it’s going to be a success.
