Elder Scrolls.

[Jetthebinturong]

No, entertainment is a necessary part of life - much more necessary than work or schooling. If you devote all of your time to work and school you will be miserable your entire life, unless said things also qualify as entertainment for you (E. g. authors work because they enjoy it, translators get to watch movies etc. etc.).

[Delthion]

I am saying this technically and logically, without any regard to emotion, yes you will be miserable, but you will have been productive all of your life for the good of humanity.

[Rusvul]

   Emotion is deeply ingrained in us, and it's there for a reason. When discussing what we should and shouldn't do, to disregard it is illogical. A miserable worker is less productive than a happy worker. I also disagree with the notion of 'productivity' being the most important thing. We're all going to die anyway- for someone to waste all of their time being 'productive' is a tragedy.

   Has anyone played Elder Scrolls: Legends? It's a pretty decent card game, though I can't see it living as long or being as popular as Hearthstone.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Some people I know said it was better than Hearthstone. I haven't played it yet, though.

[Rusvul]

   It's slightly more complex but has vastly less card variety. The two-lane mechanic adds another element of strategy, but the game only has 12 keywords (as opposed to Hearthstone's 22 or MTG's 119) and a eight of them (prophecy, breakthrough, guard, regenerate, charge, ward, lethal, and drain) are the same for every creature, and while they have a significant effect on the game, they aren't as fun as Hearthstone's widely varied and hugely random cards. I think a few expansions in it might be really good, but right now there's not enough card variety for my liking.

   Of course, I say this as a casual noobscrub (admittedly, one with experience in other T/CCGs) with no interesting in playing competetively. ESL is probably a better competetive game due to its two lanes, lack of random luck, and lack of rock-paper-scissors mechanics (drastically different decks are more evenly matched than in Hearthstone, you're less likely to come up against an enemy whose deck counters yours perfectly.) It very well might be a better-designed game, but it isn't more fun.
