It also sucks that the their was a sizable amount of people who have played Morrowind to Skyrim were always asking for coop mode and instead got this generic MMO in the ES universe.

That was what I was thinking when I first played the beta. I just wanted The Elder Scrolls VI with co-op. I would pay a monthly fee for that if there were occasional updates. And that's one of MANY reasons why I've been a big detractor of the game after several beta sessions. It was so generic, they've taken this wonderful universe and made it boring. The story, the characters, the combat, and worst of all, the quests.
Elder Scrolls games of the past had me wanting to do the quests not because of some reward, but because they were so damned interesting! Well-written with characters I loved or hated. There were only a couple that ever failed to be completely amazing (a couple of the ones to work your way up in the guilds, every guild in most of the games had like 1 quest that wasn't that stellar). Call me crazy, but the "use this item 5 times on mob type x" and "kill 10 of mob type y" quests just aren't fun for me.
Another huge disappointment was the removal of elements from previous ES games that brought me a lot of joy, like invising for more than 2 and a half seconds, not being able to pickpocket, not being able to steal, no criminal system, not being able to collect books, and so on. It was almost like, being a bad guy or being a REAL rogue type wasn't even an option. Why have that as an archetype if you're going to remove all the elements that make playing it cool?
So far, they've failed to live up to the spirit or name of The Elder Scrolls series. They've also completely failed to do anything new, unique, or interesting with the game. They're not going to make any huge changes to the game now. Whole point of beta is to get shit working so that when the game goes live, it's not a horror-story repeat of shit like the Anarchy Online launch. F2P by 2015 if what I've played is any indication of what the final product is going to be like.
Maybe that Warhammer 40k game that's being developed will be good. /sigh
