ESO: A Role-player's Dream

The Elder Scrolls: A Role-player's Dream

This article attempts to reach out and extend a hand to that true gamer that we have inside all of us. The article uses the Elder Scrolls franchise as a tool to help teach us to immerse ourselves in the world of Tamriel. The article gives the reader tips on how to create a special bond with your character and truly enjoy the game, rather than just using the game as a time filler. This article showed me that next time I play an any Elder Scrolls game, or when ESO hits the market, that the character I make is a part of myself. I should create a story for my character and give him a purpose for what he is doing. Zenimax and Bethesda can only do so much as to supply you with the tools for achieving greatness. It is you who decides your characters fate, and it is you who decides what the character lives for and what he dies for. This is one of my favorite articles and I strongly urge you read it if you want a tip on reaching that gamer within you.

ESO: Ancient Impact

Elder Scrolls Online Guild Spotlight: Ancient Impact

Ancient Impact is a multi-game guild. Coming this October, they will be a 3 year old guild and this guild has visited many MMOs such as Final Fantasy Online, Guild Wars 2, and Star Wars: Old Republic. ShadowedMare interviewed four staff members Grey (Founder of Ancient Impact), Zeymah (Guild Leader of Ancient Impact), Huntersknoll (The recruitment officer), and RedBlade (PvE Manager). Ancient Impact is the first guild that is coherent with IGC (Independent Gaming Community). These guys talked about how they are prepping for ESO. RedBlade has to study technique and figure out the best way to prevail in raids or dungeons with the guild. Huntersknoll needs to recruit the best players he can. The guild will be most successful if its filled with hardcore dedicated players. Personally, I have no intention of applying to this guild because I don't think I will meet their requirements and I only have so much time to play. However, reading this article did teach me a lot and has somewhat given me ideas and strategies to become a successful player.
