There were three in my family who were playing together last night for a few hours. We only made it to level 6 and just got to the third zone. A few questions for the people with more beta experience:

Some of my answers are from first hand experience...some are from what I have read/heard.

1. Does it ever open up and get more sandbox? Do you keep having to complete quests to move through zones? Once you get out of the starter zones it opens up and you have a lot more options

2. When does the first dungeon come in? We're playing Dragon Covenant.Level 11/12 is the first instanced dungeon for groups but there are craploads of open world dungeons that have bosses at the end with unique/special loot. I believe they are the torches on your map

3. Does PvP only take place in Cyrodil? at this point I believe that is the case but there is going to be world pvp as well.

4. Any raiding to speak of? High level multi group content is in or will be in at launch is what ive read.

5. Any top end grinds necessary? Faction? Tokens for items? Mats for crafting? etc? You harvest mats like any other game so I guess that's a grind. You grind cyrodil for tokens to buy mounts/pvp armor/other stuff. Not sure about pve token grind

6. In terms of leveling to 50... I'm a nightblade. I'm putting all my points into assassination, dual wield, medium armor. Will I get to like level 30 and get stuck? Will i need to then go back and work on something I normally won't use -- like heavy armor -- in order to level to cap?

There will be min/max builds just like any other game. But from my experience and what I have heard/read about higher levels you can make just about any combo viable. And at 15? you get a second quick swap weapon set which basically makes you a dual class. So you can equip a healing staff in your quick swap and go healer if need be..or sword and board to tank etc. Brings a shitload of utility to your character.

7. We're opening up shrines as we see them. Will there ever be any reason to go back to low level zones? Yes. Once you hit max level the level range and loot on all those open world dungeons bump up so you can go back and do them all over again with new loot.
Appreciate any insight.
