Five Elder Scrolls Online Classes Announced, What Will Be Next?

Bethesda’s upcoming spring release The Elder Scrolls Online has been causing buzz in the gaming industry ever since it was announced. The game is set to release with five different classes for players to choose from, but is there a chance fans will see more classes added upon release? Currently the named classes are: Dragonknight, Sorcerer, Nightblade, Templar, and Warden.

ok maybe someone can explain to me, if you can pretty much take any class and use any weapon sword or magic whatever like the devs claim... why are their classes? is there any benefit to being one or the other at all? cause it sounds like even if you pick the somewhat priest class you can still spec to tank so what gives...

maybe im just confused... I dont mind more open classes but i like to know that my class is somewhat unique...

Well it used to be that each class would give you better perks and abilities for certain play styles, but you could always do what you feel like with them. e.g. orc's would be more resistant to poison and had an additional boost in strength; Dark elves may not have that strength, but might have and extra perk in long sword skills and Black Magic.

I hope there still differentiate them in that same manner.

That was a good question and still is as I am unsure as to how there will handle the classes.

Yeah i think the races natrual attributes are still there. Thats a ES norm.

But im just confused as far as the abilities of classes, the only thing i can think of is they have exclusive skillsets or attacks and abilities but as far as armor and weapon you can use anything. so idk... it def isnt your vanilla class and leveling system such as WoW.

My guess would be in talents or class specific skill bonuses.

I want a borderlands style *knife other player to signify duel* situation.
It's all fun both shooting each other but if one person is a mage and the other is an archer it could get very interesting
