The Elder Scrolls Online: Class Breakdown

Bryan Dawson (Prima Games): The Elder Scrolls: Online is only a few months away. As we draw closer to the release, more and more details are beginning to trickle out. So far, five classes have been announced: Dragon Knight, Nightblade, Sorcerer, Templar and Warden. We don't have a complete breakdown of every class, but we know a decent amount about the Dragon Knight, Nightblade, Sorcerer and Templar.

The only thing I am wondering about the classes is they have said multiple times that "classes are only a starting point." Does that mean later on all abilities will become available so my character can use Spiked Armor and then use a Daedric Summoning skill? That's how they implied it with "classes are only a starting point" but don't know if possible. In other TES games we could always play and use any skills how we wanted.

Sort of. This is still a MMO so there is still min/maxing potential. Because of the level cap, there is only so much you can do on a single character before you're out of options. What Zenimax Online is touting is the ability to be a "jack of all trades" - but you will be a master of none as a result.

The way they have been touting "jack of all trades" they have always kept the multiple skill tress to the same class but with them also saying "classes are only a starting point." It seems like that may not be the case. The 2 skill tress I'm most interested in are Daedric Summoning and Restoring Light and each in a different class, so I'm really hoping to have cross class skills for my character.

Fucking stupid. what's the point in starting over and trying a new class if every class can be made the same in the end? Great way to kill the longevity of the game. It's the reason why the wife and I lost interest in Skyrim.

I remember Oblivion on the 360 I must have played that game several times over just to check out the different classes. I remember being genuinely excited at the beginning of each new play through because of it.
