The Elder Scrolls Online Video Interview and Faction Profile

Since last time we checked GameInformer has released two new articles on The Elder Scrolls Online. The first is a video interview with ZeniMax Online’s Matt Firor on what makes the title “a modern MMO”, which apparently includes a 100% solo main questline with instanced bosses, less of a reliance on quest givers, which in the intention of the developers should give players more freedom to explore, and how he and the team plan to handle feedback. The second is the third and final faction profile, which details the Ebonheart pact. Here’s a snip from it:

(About 50 years prior to the game, an Akaviri invasion came in and basically tried to take over,) says creative director Paul Sage. (What happens now is that the Dunmer and the Nords have formed an alliance because the attack was so bad that they realized they were weak to the Imperial rise. So they form an alliance of convenience with the Argonians. They’re surrounded by all these tides of opposing forces. They feel really threatened, so the Ebonheart’s entire purpose is to band together and make sure they’re no longer in danger.)
