I then told him how Sini remarked: (An MMO, that you pay to experience boring combat, yawn-inducing dialog, a world slapped together with most generic fantasy settings out there, and years behind the borefest commonly known as WoW when it comes to little things that most people do in MMOs. Who the fuck pays these people?)
Brian paused for a moment. He seemed a bit shocked. Then he replied: (It's not slapped together. The Elder Scrolls Online is something we're all attached to. We all love The Elder Scrolls. We love the world and we love all types of Elder Scrolls games. We believe that it's simply time for you to be able to play those games with friends. So the world is rich, and yes it is a (fantasy MMO), but that's what The Elder Scrolls is, a fantasy world. And we think it's time we bring you in and let you play that with your friends. As for who pays us? ZeniMax Media Inc.)
Brian smiled, and then I told him how Stardog said that: (All they had to do was just take the gameplay from Oblivion/Skyrim and translate it into an MMO. Not difficult for a designer with more than two brain cells. Instead they're making another generic boring MMO with ugly graphics. Star Wars made the exact same mistake. Without the name, you wouldn't know this was TES. With the unlimited budget ZeniMax have, they should be doing 100x better than this shit. Just cancel it. If Bethesda had the choice, I bet they wouldn't want it made, or would want to make it themselves. Now they're slaves to a money-hungry ZeniMax.)
Brian sighed.
(You know, Bethesda is always going to make great games and we're always going to make great MMO games. We have very high level MMO designers that have been doing this for a long time. So when it comes to making the best MMO out there, we have a lot of men and women who know what they're doing. What they're going to do is make the best possible MMO they can not just a multiplayer version of Oblivion or Skyrim.)
