The Elder Scrolls Online Interview

I’m actually confused as why this recent short interview from EDGE with ZeniMax Online’s game director Matt Firor is titled “We’re not making Skyrim 2”, given that I never heard anyone convinced of the contrary, but it’s still an interesting piece for those of you who are interested in the first MMO based on Bethesda’s successful The Elder Scrolls series. Here’s a snippet:

What is your relationship with the Elder Scrolls community? Could it be improved?

I think that the reaction that we had when we announced the game was more about having heard game developers say things about games for a long time and then [not seeing] what they were talking about. A lot of the mixed reaction that we got was [aimed] in that direction. It wasn’t necessarily about Elder Scrolls. There was some of that, but mostly it was, ‘˜Yeah, yeah, we’ve heard of [action-based] combat systems, we’ve heard that. We get into the game and it’s the same old thing.’ We want people to get in and play. We’re not going to sit them down and give them a presentation, they’re just going to sit down and play it.
