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 an insult," he said.
Yoda Unleashed on GameInformer.com was also unimpressed. "Looks like your typical run of the mill MMORPG," Yoda Unleashed said. "So long as Bethesda continue to make singler-player Elder Scroll RPG's I don't mind this existing. But if this replaces that single-player experience then I'll be disappointed to say the least."
Matt7895 from RPGCodex was even more critical. "Third-person, cartoony graphics," he said. "F*#k them to hell."
But GoldvsSilver on GameInformer.com was happy. "Looks great!" he said.
Other commenters pointed out that MMOs need lower system requirements to allow players with lower end machines and internet connectivity to play the game.

I guess I'll give it a try if it is free to play on release. Or when it becomes free to play, after release.
My only wurry is that this move from single player TES to ESO will feel like a WoW spoof. TES is unique and shouldn't be spoilt.
They look fine. Not all of us can afford a thousand dollar space-age computer, ya know.
