Ah and a new positive thing I just discovered - in the character selection screen my characters have their actual heights now and are no longer stretched or compressed - finally they do not look awkward anymore in the selection screen.

But I had some weird bug today, when I first logged in - the character selection screen lagged - guess like 10 fps or so - zoom was very delayed as well and like a slide show - but then the funny thing - my character started to randomly play emotes - in the character selection screen - never seen something like this before - and I was not even logged into an area yet, just selection screen. I restarted the client and it happened again - after I rebooted my PC it was back to normal. Strange.

It's refreshing to see a post like this . . .

I've been in the game since late Beta, and truly love every aspect of it. The world is beautiful, the sound is alluring and adds so greatly to the mood, the quests have depth and intelligence, and the combat is superb. Add to that, the wonderful community of players (though I have come across a few malcontents!) and you have a recipe for a great gaming experience.

I have to say, I believe the staff and developers at ZOS are decent people trying their best to make a great game and it bothers me to see the bashing they take on this forum. Sure, there have and continue to be problems with the game, but constructive criticism and thoughtful suggestions are really the only appropriate means for providing personal input.

I like to add, that the TG DLC is very thoughtfully implemented. I like the fact, that the TG skill line is really supporting stealth gameplay and has no negative effects on the combat system nor would it unbalance it. It is an option for those of us, who like to be sneaky and we will have a lot of fun with it - but at the same time the DLC does not contain necessary content for those not interested into criminal gameplay - ZOS did not make this a mandatory "must have" DLC, but truely optional.

What I love in general with ESO is the art style of this game - it is simply gorgeous - the soundtrack is supporting the gameplay and feel of the world really well and where ESO really excels is when it comes to 3d sound effects - the detail is just awesome, if you really pay attention to the little things they added, like subtil echos in hallway or the increased crackling sound of melting ice in the morning sun, there is so much detail with sound alone. The beautiful lighting at different times of the day is making this even more enjoyable. The overall landscape design is well thought out and the available space is well used and with an amazing amount of features.

Different climates are very well stitched together without that it would feel stitched. This is something what many might not even realize, but it is not that easy to get a good transition from a forested area to swamp land so, that it feels seamless and you don't know where one begins and the other ends. Well done.

I think if someone loves such details he/she can really enjoy the game and it feels like being on vacation for a while - an adventure if you want it to be one, but you can as well just do some relaxing chores like fishing or picking flowers or just explore without a goal or destination. Even Malukah is as bard in the game - simply awesome. The game is not forcing you to do things, you can get involved and help NPCs, but you can as well just ignore NPC requests - they are not angry at you, you can abandon a quest and pick it up later, what is quite nice.

Some say it does not have the feel of an Elder Scrolls single player game - but to me it has most of those qualities. And even better, content will not run out anytime soon. I believe into what ZOS said in their "year ahead" post - the game's population is very healthy and those saying differently are just judging from a narrow niche perspective. I see the game thrieving and ZOS did not lie when they stated this in their "year ahead" post. I think ESO has a bright future and will be my RPG home for years to come.

This is Malukah - maybe you have heard her as a bard in an inn

She's awesome! I have the song she did for the Skyrim videos.

Yes, I did not know at first that she is as well a bard in ESO - I went into the inn in Wayrest and heard her voice - instantly it came to mind "Malukah! oh how nice" - I sat there with a russian friend for a long time enjoying all her bard songs.

Remember when the Dev's cared about the game when there was a sub fee? No reason to now that everyone buys everything out of the cash shop to up their RP game.
