Ok I've put about 2 hours in, here's my thoughts as a level 6 Elf Great Weapons Fighter.
1.) The introduction is embarrassing. It feels so fucking cheesy there's just something about CGI graphics and spell effects with the characters trying to look powerful at the start of a game that makes me want to punch my monitor. I miss the warcraft2 esque narrated introduction with scrolling text and a nice background to set the theme. Bethesda would be a great company to learn from here, ever since Daggerfall in 1995 they've made their games start with some flair.
2.) Extremely dissapointed that I was only picking my characters 'back story' when I picked a city. Game diversification has gone to absolute shit. Why does everyone have to be funneled into the same city and quest line. Even story driven games can give one a sense of freedom(dragonborn), instead of feeling like your standing in line for a fucking ride.
3.) I like the combat so far. A refreshing way of fighting that feels a little more interactive. I like the Great Fighters skills, a little more flexiblity and variety in the path you want to specialize would be great.
4.) The boss fights, at least initially, were pretty fun.
5.) Stop fucking handholding us with quests and shit! The quests are absolutely fucking boring and retarded at low levels. Why the fuck am I gathering arrows? If my backstory is a tried and true mercenary and I just survived a dracoliche attack and rescued the city from an undead raid on a bridge, why am i playing courier in the city?
Im on dragon server.
Names Knuckle.
