E3 : Elder Scrolls Online Underwhelms In Every Way Imaginable



Sometimes at Awesome-Robo we like to co-write our editorials, this particular entry is brought to you by RoboBrain and Chris Riley.

Elder Scrolls Online was one of the biggest unknowns at E3 this year, with a massive, gameplay free announcement preceding its reveal behind closed doors this year. We'd all heard for years that Zenimax, the Online division of Bethesda had been working on some kind of MMO based off one of their franchises, so the expectations were rather high considering the caliber of titles that Bethesda has released over the last few years.

Unfortunately, the presentation turned out to be one of the most uncomfortable experiences we had at E3 and ultimately ended up leaving a terrible taste in our mouth.
