We’re expecting big things out of The Elder Scrolls Online during this year’s E3, and to kick things off, Bethesda and ZeniMax have unveiled a new teaser trailer that shows off a small sampling of the characters players can look forward to taking control of when they get their hands on the game. While it’s not exactly gameplay footage, perhaps the new video will assuage fans who are uncertain about the game’s art direction. That, or it will enrage them further.
At any rate, the sample characters run the gamut of what you would expect from The Elder Scrolls: big bearded dude with an axe, sultry elven spellcaster, cloaked assassin — you get the idea. The video’s short and doesn’t serve as much except for eye-candy, but if you’re voracious for new TESO tidbits, it’s definitely worth a look. Just head past the cut for the full trailer, and be sure to check back later this week for a chat with the folks behind the upcoming title.
[Update: We’ve also added another video, this one an interview of TESO’s game director discussing and showing off the game, and the official site has updated with a new look and FAQ. Thanks to Paul for the tips!]
I can see that the people posting here arent fans of the Elder Scrolls series of games,..or just played them as any other games. Most of the people who want this do so because they are long standing fans and players of the games,mostly Morrowind and Oblivion. Those fan bases have been going strong since 2002,and we are so very excited to see that our favorite world has come of age in the MMO arena.I dont think any of us will care if this person being interviewed is nervous,or isnt loved by the cameras.He isnt there to look hot or be charismatic.He is there to let fans know that what they have been asking Bethedsa for,for many years now,has come to fruition. Finally,.. :(. I’ll be glad to pay for the online playtime.More so than World of Warcraft,because after less than a year,i was bored with it. The Elder Scrolls has never bored me,and I still play Morrowind,..along with Skyrim,The Witcher 1&2,and a couple of other games.
