Criminality was an essential component of ES 3-5 (haven't played 1 or 2, personally), and is a planned feature in this one? Would you drop 60 bucks + a $15 a month sub fee for things that they plan to put in the game at some unspecified point in the future? I played the game for far more than an hour or two and honestly couldn't wait to put it down and play anything else. In that same span of time the other ES games managed to hook me. Kept hoping the game would get better, but I reached a point where I couldn't take it anymore.
What's so "deep" about these character builds? Skill morphs have been done in other games, the acquisition of new skills through quests/exploration has been done in plenty of MMOs, and skills related to weapons/armor are also nothing new. Then there's the fact that you get a whopping 6 abilities to use at any one time. This is an Elder Scrolls game in name only. It's more of the same, repackaged with Tamriel textures, and people will buy it because of the name. It's going to be Star Wars The Old Republic all over again. I wanted to be blinded by fanboyism, even if my enjoyment was purely because it was an ES game, but it was too bland, far too much was wrong. I really hope that when it goes F2P I can fire it up again and be pleasantly surprised.
