CREATING ESO: DESIGNING SKILL LINES
We’re taking a closer look at one of the key progression systems in The Elder Scrolls Online and how it came to be.
Is your character a Sorcerer in the Mages Guild who wades into the melee wearing heavy armor and tossing fireballs? A Dragonknight who has mastered the bow and keeps allies alive from range with a restoration staff? A master provisioner? No matter what you have envisioned for your character, you’ll use skill lines to define many of his or her capabilities.
WHY SKILL LINES?
Being both an Elder Scrolls game and an online RPG, we’ve faced some unique challenges. In Elder Scrolls games, your character can do anything—and, after much adventure, almost everything. In multiplayer games, though, it can be important to stand out from the crowd. How would we preserve a distinct Elder Scrolls feel but give still everyone the opportunity to develop an identity?
You’d probably recognize some of the early systems we tried, but more traditional systems just weren’t meeting the goals we had in mind. We needed to provide the broad range of options that Elder Scrolls fans expect. Over time, we started to recognize ways we could tie everything together and satisfy both of these objectives.
We know what fans have come to anticipate from an Elder Scrolls game. We wanted you to be able to pick up and use any kind of weapon or armor, and to have lots of ways to approach various situations. We wanted you to feel rewarded for exploring the world and to offer the things you expect as an Elder Scrolls fan, like the ability to join NPC guilds, become a vampire or werewolf, and to be able to create your own weapons, armor, potions, enchantments, or food.
By making many of these activities into their own skill lines, we can give your character that broad range of options. As an added benefit, more options mean your choices have more impact. When you gain a skill point, you can put it into any skill line that’s available to you. Every skill point is a chance for you to define your character and to choose to specialize or branch out and give something new a try.
