Kwama Shawarma: Elder Scrolls Online First-Person Cam

It's thanks to the heightened perception stat of PCGamesN that I'm able to point you toward footage of the first-person combat in The Elder Scrolls Online. Previous videos favoured a third-person approach to swordplay and spell-lobbing, which caused much disgruntlement, so perhaps this short clip will manage a degree of regruntling? I actually saw the short clip twice and didn't notice the first-person sections at all because they're the same muddy-brown brawl as the rest, except with some swords occasionally swinging at the fore of the screen. The target of those swords are a clan of kwama, as the dev post accompanying the video explains: "The kwama, which you’ll recognize if you played Morrowind, are insectoid creatures you’ll encounter in three forms in ESO: the scrib, the worker, and the warrior." Scribblenauts!

Thirty seconds of such a hectic melee is enough to make me reach for a nerve-steadying cup of brewed leaves.
