The game is beautiful and the mechanics are spot on (albeit that there are some minor issues with regards to balance).
It's not some run of the mill WoW-clone, and the PvP is brilliant.
I have every confidence that (given some time) Zeni will sort out the issues that are currently ingame, and this shall most likely be a game that I shall be enjoying for months to come.
thank you for the comments as I said game plays like a classic so in a few months time fingers crossed , what will we all say then if you like the game now we be getting married in a few months
TESO has been the most fulfilling MMORPG experience that I have had since probably Everquest I.
The game provides for various gamers' types, (exploring - Grinding - Questing - PvP - RP even though RPers seems to be a dying breed thanks to some other major MMORPG franchises which ruined that aspect - Crafting and Trading) there seems to be an issue where some boss fights pre-Veteran seem too easy, but I have high hopes that Craglorn will bring some intelligent scripts for bosses too.
The combat is really fun and engaging, and even just watching random npcs' reaction around the world or while questing is fun.
--Books-- Just give us more, lore oriented, quest oriented, or even silly little notes by someone wanting to kick someone off the stairs, it just makes the game real.
Game economy seems fine up till now and by not adding an actual global auction house and by allowing players to create guild stores of various sizes depending on guild members ZOS both added to the social aspect of the game and to the financial balance.
I will not go into the graphics level of detail since I think it just tops everything and still allows gamers, who cannot afford a new system, such as myself, to be able to play on an old CPU by just spending a little cash to upgrade my gfx card. (Currently getting pretty high fps on high settings with my slow poke computer)
Well, there is much more and this post could go on for a while but I ll stop now.
A final few words about people complaining with quest bugs and whatnot, from my experience, and many years of online gaming, the game actually did have quite a smooth launch, and the people behind it do seem to care and appear to be working on getting things done. As far as gold sellers and bots, the community has to be more active in terms of reporting players if we want to help ZoS get rid of them.
I can't say the game is perfect, but it is very enjoyable.
I wanna focus on the combat. It's a bit clunky, which is something that irritates me a lot but it has potential which I don't think any other AAA MMO on the market ATM has.
It really makes you feel like you're actually fighting as opposed to just messing with an UI, having to react to an enemy's attacks rather than mechanics, and things like sneaking up on a target is very satisfying.
Because I can see the potential in this game and it excites me like EQ and EQ2 did. As is, it is fun for me and caters a bit to my interests. They seem to want crafting to be relevant which I dig.
You did not include an option for both. I love and hate it in equal amounts. Every time I start to enjoy myself I get *** slapped by a bug, stupid design choice or lore violation.
