Is it all strictly PvP or is there some PvE as well?

There is some of both PvP is kind of week/poor and optional something to do if bored, and it's lacking any proper end game / elder game for PvE but it's mainly PvE focused just not the greatest PvE.

There is tons of PvE, in fact I don't care for the PvP part of the game, it is too difficult unless you are with a large group of players.

The majority of the world is PvE and is probably about what you'd expect from a massively multiplayer Elder Scrolls world. The world is pretty huge and divided into three sections -- one for each alliance (Daggerfall, Ebonheart, Aldmeri). They meet around Cyrodiil, which is a massive PvP/war zone. Everything inside Cyrodiil (including PvE quest hubs and dungeons) is all open to PvP. There is no PvP outside of Cyrodiil.

There is PvE, but it does not feel like a TES game, more like a generic MMO where you can only wander so far before being killed by enemies of a higher level. The PVP is what will keep players subscribing though. If you're expecting to explore a large world like you do in the single player Elder Scrolls games, you will be pretty disappointed.

As an update since April, not much has changed in the PvP areas of ESO. In fact, PvP is more-or-less an afterthought and really only available in one area, Cyrodiil. There's not a specifically designed area, like an Arena, where you can go and just PvP battle it out with other players. This would have been a better choice. Instead, ZeniMax overlapped PvP and PvE areas together so PvP players continually go after PvE players while trying to quest. It was a bad design decision by ZeniMax and makes the game far less enjoyable for PvE-focused players. The PvE that is there is not really as fun as the PvE in Skyrim or Oblivion because the game engine is just not quite up to that level.

You can definitely just buy this one and jump in if you are looking for an online multi player game. If you start with 1 it is not online or multi player, it is just a solo game. It depends what you are looking for.

Physical, but you still have to set up a Blizzard online account to play it. However, it makes a good flying projectile to ward off the zerg... Maybe the line between reality and fantasy is beginning to blur in my old age...

Yes. It has local and online multiplayer for 2 players. Online also lets more than 2 people join a game together, but only two people will fight at one time. All extras basically line up and spectate until it's their turn.

They added Act V as well as adventure mode where you travel to the various areas and do "bounties." There are also rifts that you can open where the goal is to kill monsters until the rift guardian spawns and you kill that. All for loot.

It's similar to other MMO style games. The game is designed for players who like to explore and quest along the lines of Skyrim. Instead of kill 10 bandits or collect 10 plants objectives the game has you in the role hero wandering around saving individuals, towns, cities and kings. The game is different from other MMO's in that all skills are available. All professions, weapons, armor and skill trees with enough skill points available (a lot of work) to fill them all out on one character. PvP is similar to GW2's eternal battleground open WvWvW with the 3 factions fighting over lots of objectives. ESO's open world PvP is huge, much larger than GW2 even with all 4 zones added together. A lot more fun than GW2 to me, controlling certain scrolls gives PVE bonuses to the whole faction. Fully leveling a character through questing takes you to all 5 zones in all three factions. That's a lot of questing so I can see why players who don't like to quest or enjoy story lines would get bored with the game.

Absolutely. In fact, while it's online, I would say it's pretty much a solo game. There are times when you're working with others, but it's not a communication/coordination thing.It's a great way to just sit back and play solo for an hour or two, and the addiction is good for a month or maybe two

No, this is not an MMO! You only have to pay for PS+ if you want to play with other gamers online, so the actual game does not have a fee! However, you should be able to play for free with up to 4-player splitscreen!

Once you purchase the game you can play it as much as you want. There are no subscriptions. If you are thinking of The Elder Scrolls Online, that is a different game (and I believe it does have subscriptions). This is 100% a single player game. The only other things that you might have to pay for are the DLC, but you don't have to get them to fully enjoy this game (if you get the standard edition that does not come with the DLC packs).

If plundering loot, sailing the seas and swashbuckling is your idea of fun then YES this game is heaps of fun. :) There are essentially missions that you undertake to progress the main story line. Missions can range in length from short and sweet to epic encounters. But in between the main story missions you can also under take your own side missions like completing assassination contracts and searching for Mayan treasure, just to name a few (I wouldn't want to give away to much).

No unfortunately it's a single player game. But you can play online with friends.

Absolutely. The game can be enjoyed either way. You don't have to be connected if you'd rather enjoy single player.

The main storyline requires you to play with others starting at level 15, and frequently thereafter. There isn't much content currently available for those who only want to solo.

It's an MMO, it's only online. Please consult other explanations of what an MMORPG is.

Yes. It has a battle mode and training mode that you can choose a vs fight for two players. Enjoy.
