I was going to say celebrity, but I don't think anyone from SWTOR really counts. Aside from gamers - and only a small portion thereof - no one knows who any of them are.

Maybe they should've spent more money on actually making the game fun than burning it on the one thing players give the least fucks about in an MMORPG.

Malcolm McDowell has fallen low in recent years... What a waste of talent.

I know, utter waste of money. They could have gotten Carrot Top for half the price.

"However, this CE is also the only way players can unlock playing an Imperial in any alliance."
Welcome to the new era of day 1 DLC. Take out a race playable in all previous entries in the franchise and make them CE exclusive.

I wonder if the devs even try anymore. Screw polishing up the gameplay, how about blowing up more money on trailers that tell us absolutely nothing outside of the fact of how generic and bland it will be, how much the devs know about/respect the lore and how much they care about spending their budget in the right place seeing as they clearly prioritize this waste of time over making the game not an unplayable mess. Then again we knew these already so I guess my point still stands.Bah, those development guys already have too much money as it is! Better invest this into another expensive cinematic. I mean, what could possibly go wrong, right?
How does the video relate to TES?

So this is a trailer for a Final Fantasy movie, right?

It already looks like the most expensive MMO/game ever made. Don't be surprised if they throw another twenty mil on the marketing pile.

Why is there a Mancubus in that trailer for Oblivion? Oh wait that's entirely a different game?

They release this to mark the announcement of an Imperial Edition of the forthcoming MMO, a “premium collector’s edition”, or as I like to call them, The Expensive Ones For Mad People. Except, bloody hell, this game’s going to be expensive for everyone.
Because, blink, the standard version is a touch pricey. £50? For a genre that’s now primarily free? Cor. So that’s like a decade of subscription, right? Nope, that’s 30 days. Before a further £9/€13/$15 (€13 is of course currently worth $17.70 and £10.70, so fuck you, Europe!) monthly tithe. This game costs more than the broadband connection and monthly ISP fee you’ll need to play it.
Fork out £70 for the Imperial Edition, and what do you get other than the same game as everyone else? A whopping 30 days subscription! Indeed, no more access to the game, but rather trinkets. You get to be an Imperial in the game, with an Imperial horse, Imperial gear and a “Mudcrab vanity pet”.
The only useful thing in there, unless you particularly want to be playing as an Imperial of course, is the Rings Of Mara – this is a quest for you and a chum to complete, that then gives you experience bonuses when you play together.

No Horse Armor?
So will this enter f2p in less or more time than swtor? Discuss.
Difficult. I can imagine this game attracting a larger fanbase from the franchise, but I am quite certain they will quickly discover it is not the same and leave in droves.
Of course this would also mean more appologists and stupid people playing it insisting it's good, but I am not sure if those will be numerous enough to keep the game afloat.

Trying to enjoy that cinematic without thinking about its connection to TESO.
Why not just make a hollywood movie with that budget? given a decent backstory a full length feature would make a good popcorn flick.
The silver lining with this catastrophic attempt at an mmo is the possibility of Zenimax going bankrupt. Perhaps taking Bethesda with them.
And with a few years passing .. a kickstarter Morrowind 2.0 emerging from the ashes.

wtf. this cinematic has no vibe of elder scroll games. if i did not see a title i would never gues it is in tamriel. fucking bethesda fucking zenimax.
i would give them 3-4 months before they go f2p with that ridiculous prices (abo in 2014 good one
) but it is probably the only mmo on new generation consoles so it might survive a bit longer

And that is only the start of it all, did you see the pre-order bonus?
The Pre-Order bonus being that you can create any race for any of the 3 factions. Turns out Zenimax Online not only disrpescts TES lore as a whole, but apperantly they disrespect their own lore too.
Morrowind was to alien for kwan constortard audience and so ''elves'' must be made more accessible and f..able for WoW fans; all this to earn more Jewgold of course; ZionMax, ZionMax never changes.
