First ESO screenshot creates a largely negative reaction

Game Informer has provided the first non-leaked screenshots of the Elder Scrolls Online (hereafter referred to as ESO). The screenshots show players fighting Storm Atronachs. Reaction to the graphics and announcement has been mixed. Jara commenting on Bethblog was dismissive. "You gotta be shitting me. This looks like a beta screenshot for Morrowind," Jara said. "Warcraft has pretty lousy graphics by today’s standards too, but this looks… after how gorgeous Skyrim was, this looks like...

The Elder Scrolls Online Announcement Trailer

In typical Bethesda fashion (or should I say Zenimax in order to stop people getting confused as to who is making the game?) the first trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online tells us absolutely nothing. So this week we've had a DLC announcement for Skyrim that told us nothing, and now a new game announcement that tells us nothing. Great ;) So why am I posting this? Because I love Michael Gambon. Americans will probably only know him for his role as Dumbledore in the latter stages of the Harry P...

Here's the blurb from the Beth Blog article: Since opening its doors in August of 2007, we haven’t been able to say much about happenings at ZeniMax Online Studios – until toda...

TESNexus split in to Morrowind Nexus and Oblivion Nexus, NMM support incoming

Over the past month we’ve been working on getting the first game, of the first Nexus site, supported within our Nexus Mod Manager. Morrowind was where it all started for the Nexus, and all the sites dating back before it to 2001 so getting Morrowind mods supported in NMM seemed the right and proper thing to do. To better accommodate this change, and also to finally reduce the clutter on the site, TESNexus has now been split in to two independent Nexus sites for Morrowind and Oblivion. Havin...
