This weekend ZeniMax is hosting a beta test for Elder Scrolls Online. You might be wondering why there are no previews to be found. It's because the testers aren't allowed to say anything.
The Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA) for ESO's beta forbids participants from releasing any screenshots or video from the test. They also can't release any information about the "software, software code, designs, graphics, rules, playing strategies, artwork, visual depictions, plot, theme, settings, characters, characterizations, skills, emails, screenshots, marketing emails, marketing and promotional plans, current, future or proposed products or services of ZeniMax, written or printed documents, announcements or prereleases, product samples, artwork, graphics, promotional and/or marketing items), the Beta Trial forums and other private ZeniMax forums, business and/or trade secrets, testing protocols, processes, and standards relating to the Game and/or associated products or services of ZeniMax."
In fact, testers can't even reveal that they're part of the beta test without potential legal consequences. Asking a gamer to describe the beta version of Elder Scrolls Online without including any information about the game AND without revealing that they're in the beta test in the first place sounds impossible. However, it's not impossible for Umberto Fakeington III, our resident imaginary writer. Take it away, Umberto!
