Elder Scrolls Online: 13 Key Tips To Keeping Us All Playing

4. Encourage Passive Gaming

Many people are under the impression that all games involving killing, and of course in a way they are right, at least for the majority of cases. But killing, fighting and casting spells aren't the only characteristics of a good RPG that are enjoyable -; there is also a lot of passive gameplay to be explored, that is, gameplay that doesn't involve violence and involves doing jobs, crafting, exploring, interacting and more. Depending on the individual, this can be a far more relaxed and gratifying experience than trawling through deep and dark dungeons constantly slashing your sword: going out with a few friends to hunt for some crafting resources can be equally exciting. This is a side to the game that Bethesda should embrace and encourage the use of, it not only will enable users to play a different more gentle side to the game, but also allow them to appreciate the sheer amount of work that has been put into such an impressive game. Being a passive gamer also allows you to focus down a bit more on your gear and your play-style as it gives you the opportunity to hunt down for better resources to upgrade your current armour for example or to find hidden treasures that will allow you to create a new set of weapons. All of these passive aspects can really compliment the more aggressive and action-filled side to TESO.
