The Elder Scrolls Online may not be a true RPG sandbox, but Tamriel will apparently be much more interactive than your garden variety MMO. This latest Zenimax Online Studios dev diary explains how you'll explore the environment, gather ingredients and use them to craft new items from the very start of the game. Exploration, fishing competitions, books and more are also covered in the short yet dense video.

Whether TESO will provide an enthralling new take on the franchise or flounder in the ferocious MMO market remains to be seen. You can still sign up for the beta.
