So the game is like 40$ now and 53$ for the imperial edition, is this game worth it? If yes, does the imperial edition worth it?
How's the pvp in this game? How's the general community?

Sadly I did not like the game at all. To me it doesnt hold a candle to what we have played.

I didnt play any of the Elders before except skyrim for like 30 min and I quite liked it but not enough to sink my teeth into it just yet.
Anyway what you didnt like in the online game?

They changed a fair bit in how the characters act also the intro into it was annoying. I could keep going on but I dont wana remember the time again.

Did you like Skyrim?


Then don't play The Elder Scrolls Online.

There is nothing wrong with ESO, it is just a tough game and people expected Skyrim but in a MMO format, which is impossible.

If you play it first time, go a Templar, and zoom the camera out a bit so you are no longer in first person view, that way you can see AOE attacks happening and move out the way.

Maps have been redone, skins and textures also, and playing free is good enough, most of the crown store stuff isn't amazing anyway, the only good thing is the horse upgrades thats about it, and perhaps new exotic pets and mounts.

If you want to play an Elder Scrolls game that has typical features of an MMO but in the TES universe, then this is a great game. It's about a million times better when playing in a group as opposed to solo, though, so keep that in mind.

If your reason to buy TESO is to play a "shared-world Skyrim", as it were, don't buy it. The only reasonable way that one could compare TESO to Skyrim is by comparing the lore of the games, since they share very little similarities where gameplay is concerned.

Thnaks for your comments, like I said I have very little to none exp with other ES games so I'm not expecting anything in that aspect nor asking for comparison, just wanted to know if this game is a good mmo rpg and I think I got my answer.
Before I buy it can anyone tell which edition should I get? Does the imperial race really worth the extra price?
