If you're considering The Elder Scrolls Online, or looking for a new Massively Multiple Online Role Playing Game, you should definitely give it a shot.

“The Elder Scrolls Online combines the best of Elder Scrolls with the worst of the MMO genre.”

Better at being an MMORPG than an Elder Scrolls game, The Elder Scrolls Online is still highly recommended to genre and series fans, as long as they adjust their expectations going into it.
