Elder Scrolls Online and your computer review



Well its been a week since the Beta ended for the Elder Scrolls Online, I had a pass to play so I did. I also promised you a review of the game after it was over and here it is.

THE REVIEW
 I was very impressed with the graphic detail of the game when compared to other games I play like World Of Warcraft. The world looks beautiful!! The lore in the game holds true to other games in it's series like Skyrim but this game takes place 1000 years before Skyrim begins. You can play with your friends and use voice chat but we didnt use voice chat to play because there was another issue. We couldn't find each other to add to a group so all my friends were in the game but we couldn't figure out how to find each other. Also my player kept falling through the map, inside walls and stairs and would get stuck. This was not fun!!!!! They have alot of bugs to fix. Guilds are active in the game, I joined the mages guild and warriors guild. You can make your player anything you want with any armor or weapon you want, this is good!!! This holds up to the games true origins. I really enjoyed the game all in all, plenty of quests and things to kill.
 I currently however have an active subscription to World Of Warcraft at $15/month (Little cheaper because I buy 6 months at a time). Elder Scrolls Online will be charging the same price for their game. This is a problem for us. Do we play 2 games and keep paying or do we pick one? We here at Umbram Computer Services have not made that choice yet. World of Warcraft is aging, its an old game and its same ole same ole when we play, its getting boring. Anyway stay tuned for more about Elder Scrolls as the game approaches its launch.
COMPUTER HARDWARE TO PLAY THE GAME
We played the Elder Scrolls Online on the oldest system we have which is a Goliath 1 series and had no lag or problem with graphics, actually no problem at all, so older systems can play this game.  The system specs of this system we used are as follows:

  1. AMD Black Edition quad core CPU
  2. ASUS Motherboard with a bus speed of 2600 MHZ
  3. NVIDEA Graphics card 8800GTX
  4. Used on board sound and also Creative Sound Blaster X-FI sound card (No Difference in performance)
  5. 4 GB DDR2 RAM
