story
5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of The Elder Scrolls Online is a mixed bag; while it honors its single-player predecessors with engaging quests and expansive exploration, it struggles with identity and immersion due to repetitive dialogue and a focus on individual progression that hampers group play. Critics note the plot's similarities to Oblivion, and the overall experience can be marred by issues like quest repetition and a clunky user interface.
“Large, attractive vistas urge you to explore, and some intriguing quests get you involved in the world.”
“The plot of The Elder Scrolls Online is a bit of a sticking point with me; however, because of its striking similarity with that of Oblivion, the fourth game in the series.”
“From story to scale, The Elder Scrolls Online does its single-player predecessors justice while at some parts struggling to find its own identity.”
“The game's focus on individual story progression discourages grouping; wooden dialogue and repetitive voice-overs can make questing a chore; single-player and multiplayer aspects constantly clash, disrupting immersion.”

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.
