  After being announced at last years E3 (and then being totally overshadowed by Fallout 4) we heard nothing more about Elder Scrolls:Legends for months - but information is now starting to come out - and with a Beta announced, it seems that the game is not far away. Perhaps we might even see it released around E3 this year...

  But what do you think about it? And how should we cover it here on the Tamriel Vault? That's what we want to find out with this poll and discussion.

  In case you've not been keeping up, here is a cool summary of the basic concepts behind this game. If you've ever played games like Hearthstone or Magic:The Gathering, then you've got a fair idea what we are talking about here. It's something completely new for Elder Scrolls, that's for sure - but it promises to be something intriguing and interesting.

  So make sure to take this weeks poll, as it will help us plan our strategy for how this site responds to the new game - and your comments on the thread will also help us to get a handle on where our loyal members are coming from.

  It looks far too much like Hearthstone, a complete rip off from what I've seen. When a Company can't be bothered to come up with something original it losses credit in my book...

  After a short look a whole lot of speculation comes to my mind. Legends has attributes... Will ESVI have attributes? But it only has 5 attributes... Will ESVI only have 15 skill trees with each attributes governing 3? on the other hand Chrisma isn't to much of a combat attributes... so will it be 18/3? Also Luck/Speed aren't there, Speed might be incorporated into Agility and a Luck stat for a card game would be weird, so 21/3 maybe returning acrobatics/agility, mysticism and unarmed?

  Also there is a monk class, does that mean ESVI will have viable hand-to-hand-combat? So many possibilities to make theories with little to no evidence!

  But I waited for this game, even if it will only be for one quick peek, to see if i like it or not. Wasn't it supposed to come out fall 2015?

  On a side note: It seems Beth doesn't bother to get good translators. FO4s sorting was messed up because of inconsistent naming and from the classes of legends: one has unfortunate implications and  another just sounds plain akward.

  It does look exactly like Hearthstone (with the exception of lanes, lane conditions and runes) but hopefully they can make it more friendly to new users, less p2w, and have a more stable connection. I hate when I have lethal and then I disconnect for no reason. It doesn't happen with any game but Hearthstone. 

  I'd probably check out the beta to see if it's worth my time.

  "I've never really played this sort of game but I'm interested because its Elder Scrolls" pretty much sums it up for me.

  I've never been a big fan of any kind of card games (Aside from the occasional game of Solitaire), but I'll probably give Legends a try just to see how it is.

  On the topic of covering it's content on the Site, I don't see any reason not to. ESO gets a group, so it would make sense for Legends to get one, as well.

  But what do you think about it? And how should we cover it here on the Tamriel Vault?

  Don't.

  I play Magic the Gathering. I enjoy these sort of card games. I've got zero interest in another Hearthstone who's gimmick is two playing fields. Slapping Elder Scrolls onto it doesn't make me lap it up like some mindless corporate lapdog. There is nothing of value that it adds to this series. There's no story. It's just numbered cards with Elder Scroll artwork and nomenclature slapped on.

  As a sizeable community, we should prove to Bethesda that these side projects (ESO, Legends) aren't what we want and/or their quality is lacking. We desire the single-player RPGS they've brought us the last twenty years.

  Bethesda, we want TES VI, not Magic Hearth Scrolls the Elder Gathering.

  I'm a big fan of CCG's (Or TCG's), basically any card game is my kind of thing. Though, admittedly I'm not as excited about this as I hoped. Personally I see way too much of games like Hearthstone, and Magic the Gathering in the game but I'm hoping that the few things that are unique to the game like the Lanes will be enough to make the game stand out.

  I don't think we can just let this game go by, though I think if we did it would have to be a Spin-Off group, that includes Fallout Shelter, Legends and all the other ES spin-offs (Redguard, Dawnstar, those ones). I simply can't see a Legends group surviving by itself without any other support.
