Today is a day for dragons across multiple franchises and MMOs, The Elder Scrolls Online included, as ZeniMax posted up a big preview of just how these large winged beasts fit into the game world with Elsweyr.
“While you may have experienced Dragons in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, for most people of Tamriel’s Second Era (the time of The Elder Scrolls Online), the existence of Dragons remains firmly within the realms of myths and legends,” ZeniMax acknowledges. The studio says it’s built them to be clever creatures who “speak fire” and whose movement feels realistic for huge creatures – they can’t just start and stop “on a dime.”Of course, they’re also trying to kill you, so don’t just stand there being awed.
“In ESO: Elsweyr, Dragons can assault you with their claws, teeth, wings, tail, and, of course, their breath attacks. The team made sure everything the monster can do looks and feels amazing while also being a ton of fun to fight, whether they be in the air or on the ground.”
