'Elder Scrolls Online' tailored towards group play
ZeniMax Online Studios has posted a recent Q&A concerning the development of their upcoming MMO, Elder Scrolls Online.
The Q&A answers many questions but none more important as what kindof gameplay the title is geared towards. To no surprise, the game will be tailored to online group play through its many dungeons, but that doesn't mean solo areas aren't in the game too.
Here's a snippet:
“The Elder Scrolls Online is set up to be a fluid experience. As you wander the landscape you’ll encounter caves, forts, tombs, dungeons, and etc.
“Certain rare locales will just be for solo players, and some dungeons are meant for groups made only of people you choose to go in with. Most locales, however, will be accessible by everyone. Some might be too dangerous for you because of your current level, but you can always come back when you are more powerful if you want to complete them solo.
“We recommend grabbing a friend or grouping up with a stranger if it seems too tough, though, because that’s all part of the fun.”
The solo areas are ripe for the picking but you'll have to make sure you're strong enough to do so, which means you'll likely have to participate in the group areas long before hand. “Certain rare locales will just be for solo players, and some dungeons are meant for groups made only of people you choose to go in with.

It was also confirmed that you can partake in all the dungeons in the game as many times as you'd like.
