TES Legends: Sooner than we think--?

  If you've been following the tiny snippets we've been sporadically getting about TES Legends, you might be wondering about the status of it since info on it has been few and far between. Pete Hines said on Twitter this week that the game is “getting closer” but there isn't enough to show yet. All and all that sounds sort of unremarkable… except when you consider that E3 is around the corner, and that when the project was announced back in June, Bethesda said that when they finally announce the game's release, it would likely be released within the next day.
  
  

  

  The timing of this all aligning raises the question-- is it feasible for us to hope for a small demo at E3 and then a release as soon as the next day? Are you planning on playing? What do you want to see from the game?

  See, this is exciting. Even if we reject the game, the art we could potentially see is enough for me to want to see more. In the trailer it looks as though it is the same artist at work. I wonder if there will be a team, using separate styles. As it is it is very vibrant, almost WoW in style.

  I wonder if we will feel the loss of Adam Adomowicz and his influential style, or if Ray Lederer will be involved?

  If it is an E3 reveal, I wonder if the Xbox One and PS4 backwards compatibility will be announced at the same time, or if the rumours of a Skyrim remake were true? So much speculation.

  I'm totally pumped for ES Legends, so I wouldn't complain if they released it straight after E3 this year, I definitely wouldn't, and it also wouldn't surprise me. 

  I do wish we'd had a bit of something, maybe a short gameplay video before now, because these card games can be really hit and miss depending on how the gameplay works. Take Hearthstone as the biggest example, it's highly luck based, more than most because of how it works (using a resource to summon cards, and only gaining a limited amount per turn.) and personally it doesn't do it for me. I'm hoping ES Legends will be as different from that as possible, mainly so they can be competitive without being called out for copying it, but really card games are so damn fickle. Every single mechanic can alter the game massively, and I doubt there's one that everyone loves. 

  Anyway, I think a Gameplay vid would be nice just so I know that my excitement would be well placed, at the moment it's based off of the letters E and S.

  I honestly haven't payed a whole lot attention to Legends, nor many other card games for that matter.

  Right now, the only thing about it that's really caught my interest is it being an Elder Scrolls spin-off.

  I have never played a game like this to be fair so I will take your word on it. It is the art really, how that alone could be used around the site is what is exciting to me. All the TES images are so dated now and the chance this might bring to update old icons is therefore something to be looking forward to.

  Yet if it is TES I will likely play it coz I'm a sucker for it. Keep your expert game eyes peeled for any word on this for me Deebs, you'll likely know before I

  It's actually one of the few things I've looked at regarding Legends, and I must say that it's artwork is incredibly good.

  But other than that I haven't really been that interested in it. I am hoping that will change once some more info is released, though.

  I really am down for the Art. So far it seems to not only be really different than what we've seen from ES (well...It does seem vaguely like the ESO concept artwork and cinematics) but it's also just pretty damn awesome.

  I won't go to far into my strategy talk (because I have no idea what they're doing), but I'm really eager to see what they do with it. They've got so much potential with spells, different races, weapon cards, maybe even locations. Yeah I'm really eager to see some of that, unless they do something that makes it a pure luck game...I hate luck games (that has nothing to do with my ability to lose a coin toss 90% of the time... I swear )

  Well you've seen as much as anyone then. The Trailer is pretty much all we've got outside of this tweet Edana mentioned.

  I'm the same I played Hearthstone for a little bit but didn't really enjoy it, added to that that I didn't care about the lore and it was an easy thing to drop. I hope this turns out fun.

  Also since it's an online cardgame it wont matter if my internet is shit
