The story opens up in a very customary fashion for veterans of the series, having you take the role of a relatively nondescript commoner being put to the sword for obscure and unjustified reasons. Because of this the game incorporates certain familiar conventions that follow the MMO blueprint, but you will be happy to know that in the end it's an Elder Scrolls game above all else. The Elder Scrolls Online takes the insanely popular open-world RPG series that has in every game past presented a sprawling world to a singular player, and opened it up to the masses. It's a heck of a lot bigger, sporting every fantastical venue you can imagine, and oh yeah, there are other players roaming around. Tamriel is not the same place you remember.
