The Elder Scrolls: Online. TES is easily my favorite game series and I'd absolutely love to soak up all the lore available in ESO.
But I just can't stand an MMO. I don't like seeing other people everywhere. I get that you can solo most of it.
It also just feels less focused on "live another life in another world".
Ive tried it a few times, and there's a lot that's intriguing about it story-wise, but I always end up putting it down pretty quickly. I'm hoping it clicks with me at some point.
Old WoW player, hit Guild Wars, EVE Online and ESO. Had fun in them... but I had a lot of the same problems you're talking about. EVE was fun because it was screw the story, the fights are on, but any of the others, there's story and your character is off to the side.
Few months ago a friend got me into Final Fantasy 14. Note, it's the first FF game I've played so I didn't go in with the love like so many but holy lord it scratches that RPG itch I've been looking for for years in an mmo setting... like straight up the story is at a point where I say my character is really not in a good place. Frankly it's story is better than some of the single player games I've gotten to recently.
