Respec Radio Ep. 39: Elder Scrolls Online

GI editor-in-chief Andy McNamara makes his long-awaited return to our MMO podcast this week to grill Respec Radio host and GI PC editor Adam Biessener about The Elder Scrolls Online.

Anything that I can speak about from my four hours of playtime in two of the game's starter zones is fair game, and we touch on most of it in between generous helpings of snark and love for Ready Player One (which you should totally read if you're listening to an MMO podcast).

Complete your collection (guaranteed to never be worth anything, ever) of Respec Radio with every episode we've ever made, available via iTunes or our RSS feed and/or the hub.

  • When I was just a lad, I would visit my uncle Jeremy every other Tuesday. He lived in a hotel, so it was always exciting seeing him. I showed up one Tuesday, and to my surprise, Jeremy had moved out of his room. I despairingly sat in the lobby, until an old Irish sea captain walked up to me. He had noticed my sadness, and thought he could cheer me up. The captivating sir sang me a song his Grandpap had sung to him. This is to be sung in a heavy Irish accent: Life is an ocean in which we all live The water is a gift which nature does give Our ocean is our home, and we are the fish The tide is ride which will grant you a wish But, at times, you feel as though you might just drown So when this happens, you must get your feet on solid ground. Chorus: When the waves of life have taken their toll Come in to the shores of your soul When the skies up above grow darker than coal Come in to the shores of our soul I have another verse, but I don’t want to be excessive.
  • I love that music :D

  • Andy McNamara and an awesome Elder Scrolls opening song? This podcast just made my day!

  • Good intro! Nerevar Rising is one of the best pieces of all time, sad that it's only like 2 minutes long.

  • Thanks for the preliminary info about this game, Andy and Adam. I'm really looking forward to this game--hanging my hat on it to provide a worthwhile MMORPG. The PvP with three factions is what intrigues me the most.
  • I will not be playing this unless it goes completely Diablo III on next gen consoles. However, the Elder Scrolls' universe is so fascinating that this Respec Radio is a must listen for me (first Respec Radio ever). Let's get started.

  • Elders Scrolls aside, I love Ready Player One. RPO aside, I love the Elder Scrolls. THis is going to be a great podcast.

  • Great podcast guys! As a long time Elder Scrolls fan and a long time MMO fan, I am pretty much right in Zenimax Online's wheelhouse as far as a target audience goes. Everything you guys touched on just makes me more excited to play this. It's good to know it has a distinct Elder Scrolls feel to it and isn't just another generic fantasy MMO.

    Looking forward to more Respecs in the future!

  • I'm buying a new PC just so I can play The Elder Scrolls Online when it releases.

    That and I want to get back into EVE Online as well. Mostly it's for the Elder Scrolls Online though.

  • i liked the hunter quests from mc in wow that thing was dam hard

  • I'm so glad to see Respec Radio making an appearance more regularly.  Great show, by the way.  I can't wait to listen to next weeks.

  • love the random comment and the article

  • I was a little reserved with my expectations for TESO but it sounds like it's coming along nicely. And, Andy's back!

  • Please come to next gen consoles!
  • Please, oh please have split-screen....

  • Excellent job.

  • Great podcast
