They're off to a bad start by putting the Imperial race behind a paywall to start the game.

It's a good start; now I feel elite when I play my imperial among all the plebeian races!
You just know they are going to sell race changes (Including Imperials) in their cash shop.

Imperial race is in my opinion the least powerful in regards to passives, due to softcaps.
Epeen on the other hand could make up for it's inherrent lack of power.

Considering how much negative feedback closed beta testers have given, IMO redesigning how soft caps work will eventually make its way into the game.
I would take that into account when deciding on whether to play an Imperial or not.
I wouldn't worry about the redesign. What are the chances you'll be playing this game still when they finally get around to it? If it hasn't changed in the next month then it's essentially there for life as far as you're concerned.
Still the furry race crit damage is OP. I'm going to assume +crit damage is less available?

I would NOT advise making fundamental decisions like this attempting to speculate design concepts that may or may not happen with a resource starved development team.
These are the Mythic guys. You didn't play early DAOC, did you?
Beta is up. Evidently my characters weren't wiped, either. Interesting.
Not much you need to know except for one thing. As currently (poorly) designed, the soft cap for all stats is so low that you won't have much trouble reaching the cap for all stats once you get all your gear enchanted, have bought all of your passive skills, and use food/drink buffs.
In other words, without having to put any thought into it and without having to make a hard choice between Option A or Option B, you can easily achieve maximum efficiency for your charaxter. So will everyone else.
That is why IMO it's a no brainer that them system will be redesigned, it's just a matter of when.

Yeah, pretty shitty that they softcap Health/Armor Magicka/Magicka Regen Stamina/Stamina regen.. but don't softcap crit values lol.
I just hope to god no one is smart enough to snipe from stealth with stealth bonuses and surge running stacking crit modifiers on their gear. Say goodnight to over half your health in one hit.
Well there is a reason pretty much ALL of the closed beta testers who are veteran rank 10 have their Bow skill maxed out. It's generally recognized that Bow + Sneak attack is way OP but every time it's brought up on the forums, the hardcore TES fans always justify it by saying that is always how bows have worked in Skyrim and Oblivion.
