Played this a bit, not as awful as I expected, but awful enough that I don't see myself buying the box. Mostly feels like a really unpolished skyrim with a lot of random people running around doing the exact same shit as you are. Which basically completely breaks any sort of immersion the game could have, I mean it's standard mmo fare but generally when I play a mmo, it feels like a mmo, this tries to be a TES so the mmo aspect ruins it.
Combat felt way floaty, half the sounds were missing it seems or they just wouldn't play all the time, the animations were jerky, part of it might be due to lag(not sure where server is hosted or how to check my ping) but I would swing at something and see no actual effect. "Autoattacks" seemed to be completely worthless, like I'd need 10ish heavy strikes to kill a mob, but I could kill it by dumping my mana into spamming some fancy skill 3times. Since mana regen looked high out of combat, leveling felt very weird.
Animations are as expected complete shit. Models aren't that bad(well human/elves ones, Argonians and Khajit are fairly awful), game looks ok, kinda depends on the area like the one you start in I thought looked pretty good, but then I escaped to Bleakrock(not sure if random or based on race, I was a Nord) and like it's the shittiest snow I've seen in a while, with really ugly trees and really ugly everything really. Skyrim on low probably looks better and that was on ultra high. Just looks cheap.
Quest tracker apparently only tracks one quest? Like seriously? Bunch of really basic quests, one had some jumping involved, collisions and slopes suck, pretty shitty platform experience so meh. Do like that everything is voiced but is probably a large waste of money/time and why the rest of the game isn't nearly as good as it should be. Inventory uses a list system similar to skyrim, seemed pretty weird, plus you loot a fuckton of random shit right away, I had like 12 different types of food after finishing the tutorial and I didn't even loot that much.
Class customization looked nice. Kinda wish you didn't have to pick a class and could access all the class trees, but the fact you can take say the Nightblade class then use heavy armor and 2H with it and do a Death Knight with the Siphoning tree of Nightblade is pretty cool. This at least was the one thing that stood out as pretty awesome.
Other than that crashed once and had some 4-5secs freezes a couple of times(not sure why, loading shit maybe but wasn't doing anything special) so stability not there.
