To hear my fellow Morrowboomers tell it, The Elder Scrolls Online might—secretly, quietly—be the true heir to the lore-heavy weirdness that made The Elder Scrolls 3 so beloved. Unfortunately, I have one principle and it's 'avoid human contact as much as possible,' so I'll never find out if that's true or not. But with how good the MMO apparently is (82% positive on Steam!) it's a wonder you don't hear more about it, right?
I'm not the only one who thinks so. In a chat with PCGamesN, Zenimax studio game director Rich Lambert said the low profile of TESO is "the biggest chip on my shoulder." Lambert—who served as TESO's director in a previous life—says the game is "either not taken seriously or dismissed or whatnot" and that fact has "always kind of befuddled me."
