The fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online takes an idea from Blizzard’s Diablo 3: treasure goblins.
In the Imperial City, skamps, goblin-like Daedra, will play the same role as treasure goblins in Blizzard’s hack-and-slash Diablo 3. The skamps were introduced in ESO Live last Friday. They will be coming at the end of August (PC) and mid-September (PS4, Xbox One) in Update 7 together with the unique Imperial City in The Elder Scrolls Online.
The little pests will appear in the sewers and will run around crazily, darting through enemy mob groups. They must be killed quickly if the heroes want to get to their treasures. If they take too long, they will escape with their loot through a portal to another dimension. This means: players will need to exert themselves and take risks to defeat the pests.
There will be two types of skamps appearing in the sewers:
- Greedy skamps will leave behind gold and crafting materials
- Cunning skamps the coveted Tel’Var stones
Although Zenimax made efforts not to mention “Diablo 3,” the parallels to the treasure goblins are obvious.
