This is the game I'm waiting for. I will be dropping out of DDO for it.

Read the entire thing and this sounds like GW2, but with the boring combat Skyrim had once you figured out how easy everything was.

GW2 was here first.

All that assumes is that they tune the combat to "easy".  I got into Oblivion late, got addicted, and heard that DDO was going f2p somewhat afterwards.  Sure enough, DDO seemed close enough to both Oblivion and D&D (I played first ed AD&D).

Elder Scrolls sounds like a chance to start over without all the creaking mess that Turbine has added to keep up with their own power creep.

The big news is that after announcing ESO, all further information implied that the game would be as derivative of WoW as possible.  Each new release made me less and less interested.  This "review" seems to give hope back that there might at least be some interest.  Prediction: regardless of what their plans are, "phazing" will amount to little more than the difference between "snowy korthos" and "sunny korthos".  The instant response by skryrim fans are "why didn't you put that in a game where it would work, instead of a MMO" (ignoring the different studios)?

It also mentions that "every class can get every skill".  Oblivion had classes (broken idiot classes, but you always had to have a class).  What matters in an elder scrolls game are your skills.  I would wonder how limited 5 keys will be (is there a DDO player who has less than 5 hotbars?).  I would also assume that something like the DDO epic destiny thing would be needed: "you are allowed at most 100 active skill points, you can learn more but can't have them all active at once".

Fixing "super-duper key function" to class is likely a problem.

I'd still keep this on a fairly short list of "might not suck" games.

Some notes:

All combat shown was boss-type beat downs.  Even more boring than standard elder scrolls combat.

One megaserver implies no way to avoid pvp.  Certainly gives Bethesda more ways to make it suck.  How does GW2 work with this?  I suspect the idea is "you will like pvp or you wouldn't play a game called 'guild wars', would you?".

Still curious for it to come out.

From what I've read each of the 3 factions has its own maps where the other faction can't go with a couple maps where they intersect or can all mingle and pvp.

Think you might be wrong here from what I have read http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/821/view/forums/thread/368710/page/1 the faction http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/game-guide/alliances pve maps are locked to that faction only and you have one area for pvp, namely Cyrodiil
