The world reacts to your decisions in quest chains.
Grand-scale PvP battles involve more than just team deathmatch skirmishes: collect resources, assist citizens, and capture objectives. Your race determines what alliance you belong to in a war for the Imperial Throne. An open-ended skill system allows skill customization in line with other Elder Scrolls games, such as choosing to be a Sorcerer that wields a two-handed sword. Players choose between nine races and four classes-Dragonknight, Templar, Sorcerer, and Nightblade-to determine abilities. The Elder Scrolls Online is an MMORPG inspired by the franchise of the same name.
