Zenimax Online Studios decided to treat fans today with the new video showcasing group gameplay. In the video, three members of the development team, Paul Sage (Creative Director), Nick Konkle (Lead Gameplay Designer) and Dan Crenshaw (Dungeon Lead), showed how the group content will look like when the game is finished.
Dev play session was long enough to show us boss battles, different goals, but the authors also wanted to underline that group content won’t be forced, and that players will be fine on their own in the world of TESO. However, they did say that playing in the group will have its positive sides as there will be enemies that would be hard to fight all alone.
For that purpose developers introduced quick-travel mechanism which will teleport players to their nearest party members, thus eliminating long, empty walks.
Of course, this is just a small piece of Tamriel puzzle, that will be completed at the start of April, this year.
