So obviously I'm a regular here and have been for ages (old site obviously). I'm shocked at a few things:
A. Some thought what I wrote was well written, enough to accuse me of being paid for it which I'm not. That was all pretty quickly thrown together and I hardly had time to check for your and you're errors.
B. Think that I work for ZOS or am involved with TESO in a way other than a tester. Which I am not.
C. Flipped right the fuck out when I trashed that early release video
I'll gladly discuss the game with everyone here. The good, the bad and the mediocre. I listed quite a few things wrong with it in the comments so I'm not really sure how I can be shilling for them when many of the things I pointed out were simply stupid and I said exactly that. Namely removing name plates and combat info which just about everyone wants back in and likely will be back in.
Game engine is rock solid
Graphics are excellent
Animations are much better but still need work (they are borderline acceptable now) and its clear there will be more coming on this as things progress.
Armor skins are not varied at all right now despite there being a good bit of loot. Certainly needs a lot of work.
Questing, story and how its done is similar to other games but better
Combat is solid, there still needs to be some work on dodge, UI elements and animations while better than they were could still be improved.
Certain weapons need work. Destruction staff is probably the weakest by far. Dual wield or 2h are the most OP atm.
So how about we discuss this without being dicks? I won't live in this thread but I'll certainly swing by from time to time to answer questions.
