I got excited the other day after a month of inactivity!

Then I logged on and realized I wasn't having any fun. Easy, this isn't a 100% rampage post. One thing that bugged me was my character's armor. It's kinda ugly, I like cool armor, colors (how did you miss this?), and skin (I feel like im running around in a wet suit!). Why try to focus on realism, it's a fantasy game! Skyrim and Oblivion had some of the same problems but the aesthetics were totally modular! Can we mod our armor meshes?
I feel disconnected from the world. ALL OF YOUR NPCS ARE STALE. I'm sorry but as much as I hate Nazeem he was a character and didn't feel like an NPC, why didn't you learn from something like this. When you have a lot of boring NPCs I don't feel the need to listen to what they have to say.
I think the top two points subtract the most from my experience. But here is what I've enjoyed, and some more things that bugged me on the side.
I like the urgency with the combat, sometimes i'll fight 5 people and slay the last one in the nick of time, definitely rewards skill but is also noobable (good! I dont wanna die all the time).
Exploration is awesome sometimes. I can stop running in lines and wander off to explore somewhere and find something exciting. Things are beautiful and I kinda wish I had more bag space because I hate running back to the cities. For a while I had my 'new quest' map marker turned off in the settings. I realized quests are a lot more fun when you have to actually talk to people who look like they need help, instead of spotting the map marker and following it.
I love the skill and attribute system but I wish it worked more in my favor. So far I have customized two fighting styles, the bow and dual wield. I like both of these a lot but i've made some mistakes in my trees that make me gag when I look back. Money is hard to come by. Roleplaying hobo is as easy as resetting your skills or buying a horse.
Lastly, I like the crafting. I want to advance them all because they seem to have fantastic synergy. Craft some leather armor and enchant it! I run out of bag space!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is, in my opinion, the biggest problem to crafting. I feel compelled to stop leveling a crafting skill because I can't fit anything in my bags yet I would hate to have to come back and farm the stuff later. You have gazillions of things out there, lemme pick it all up!!! I can't advance woodworking because i'm stacking ore, leather, cloth, stones, enchanting mats, etc. 79/80 and searching hard to find something to trash. Merchant trips don't do the trick, I want to use stuff, not sell it! Bank trips seem to be the way to go right now.
I want to stick with this game really badly. I love the lore and the brand but the game doesn't quite do the trick.
If you made it this far then thanks for listening. What things do you like and don't like? I hand you the talking pillow.
Also, if you wanna troll, remember....... oh nevermind.

Heishi✭✭✭✭✭Just as a random, to address one of your top ones, armor dye is coming. They even have a screenshot of it upAnd so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭If you only liked the anime-style armor that some particularly awful modders added to Oblivion and Skyrim, the Elder Scrolls aesthetic isn't for you. And "skin"? Really?
Also, have you tried actually talking to an NPC to find out more about their character?----

Actually, as far as mods in the TES series, there are a lot of wonderful lore based armor/weapon ones. Some aren't exactly lore based, but don't break lore either. I do get the type you're referring to, like the Tera (based on the mmo) armor for Skyrim.And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again.

stevedubz5Soul ShrivenNPCs don't react to you at all. I stood infront of Tyrine the big wonder woman in the main quest waving my axes and she didn't budge. I want to feel like I have formed a relationship with some of these characters. You enter dialogue with any character and they will say the same thing unless you progress a quest or something.0

stevedubz5Soul ShrivenHeres a great example, in skyrim you could sprint into people and they would get mad or surprised. Now it's like running into a tree. My question is, why take the step backwards?0

Sidney✭✭✭✭LOL the talking pillow. So much win with that comment lol.- I love the way it feels (to me) like an extension of skyrim that I can play with others.
- I love the hilarious tidbits they've added to the game (Pacrooti, anyone?) Or the naked nord quest with the "witch".
- I love that the armor has an ES feel. I modded my skyrim VERY heavily. I am a huge fan of the fully covered leather armor from TERA with her skin fully covered. I love that the armor in this has that old style feel without having low resolution and not looking to crisp/fake. Someone in combat who doesn't won a washing machine SHOULD have dirty clothing.
- I love that I can join multiple guilds for different purposes
- I love that I can be such an awesome Khajiit!
- I love that there's so much more focus on dealing with Khajiits and Argonians this time
- I love but also hate at the same time that I can rob everyone blind and there are no guards to lock me up. I do miss that most times but it's nice for people like me who have to loot everything if it's not built in to the background! xD
- I hate that the menus and ui feel very unpolished and scripty instead of like a nicely functioning ui.
- I'm not so much annoyed as curious why all the daedras fill their crates with potatoes.
- I hate that I can't click a button to try on armor before crafting it or actually putting it on.
- I disagree with the lack of colour for eyes for all races.
- I love that we can make the orc females cute instead of always ugly...then again, I didn't actually try one in skyrim because they aren't feminine enough for me.
- I hate the map. If you are riding on your horse and actually try to follow the lines, you will end up anywhere but where you are trying to get to.
- I love that we can mod our game while it's running (a fresh download) and just /reloadui to get it working without a restart. That is amazing!
- I love that I have so many places to explore and so many reasons (xp, achievements, loot, beauty, funny npcs!)
I suppose this will do for now. I'd like to get back to the game

PoseidonEvil✭✭✭lol i hate that if you run into an npc they dont even move. and i cant wait to see what the crime and punishment idea plays out to be. like being in prison reduces skills..something like that...i actually hope they make something like if you get caught for a crime you have to either work your way out via in game time or have someone break you out :P puts a sense of danger for both parties if that route is chosenIn-game ID: alchelvly

Sidney✭✭✭✭Grrr. I should add, I hate always having to pick who lives and who dies. It's rare I get to pick saving both sides. As someone who wants to save everyone that is innocent, this often leaves me mad

While they're at it they should also add a rainbow flag and short shorts just for you.
Just a heads up. In pvp, after dyes come out, I will be targetting the people wearing the brightest, most eye-jarring colors first.
