If ESO had good combat, it would unquestionably be the best themepark MMO

I keep thinking this every time I come back to the game. World design, freedom to explore, writing (which is way better than the single player Elder Scrolls games), encouraging doing delves and public dungeons for shards, all are real steps forward from both the traditional questing model and the awful, lore-free, story-free public events model where you never feel like you’re actually on an adventure.

Eso engine is so dated. I cannot get back into it

The engine is only 8 years old, to Bethesda that's newer than Unreal Engine 4.

Went I tried playing with mates it was terrible at letting you co-op. Also most of the missions felt like fetch quests, or simple battles which are terrible when the combat isn't great. A lot of the game is good though, just let down by crucial things.

Core gameplay is the most important part of a game.
