The Origins of The Elder Scrolls Online

Game Informer continues their coverage of ZeniMax's The Elder Scrolls Online by bringing us a six-minute video featuring game director Matt Firor talking about when, why, and how they came up with the idea to do a TES-based MMO. The discussion actually goes beyond that, as well, covering such topics as their plans to integrate a "kickass" PvP system, their focus on creating art for the provinces that feels similar to the single player titles, the names they considered for the game before ultimately deciding on The Elder Scrolls Online, how they're going to make it accessible to even non-MMO gamers, and more.
