Ive posted a few times here but never actually wrote what I think so far. Kinda long but whatever.
Ive played a few hours currently level six and still getting the hang of things.
This is my first MMO however ive played Oblivion and Skyrim. I think its pretty cool. Its fun seeing towns completely full of people running around doing their own thing. There are pets and mounts all over the place, people getting their asses kicked by the guards for accidentally stealing stuff and peoples dead bodies are all over the streets haha.
I spent a good 30+ minutes with these two random guys just going through emotes - we all were exercising in a circle.Then one guy was opposite me, feet to feet doing sit-ups. It reminded me of the start of Wheel s on Meals movie with Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao. Next a bunch of us played a different instruments, forming a little band while others danced. Its just lame stuff like this that makes me laugh.
I am in the UK on a EU server and I am surprised with the results. Its pretty smooth, I get a few seconds of shutter every 2-3 minutes but I didnt even expect this to be working at all so im happy. I assume the servers will constantly be updated and get better over time.
Visuals are okay, I dont care that they arent amazing. The game has all the Elder Scrolls designs and architecture and thats all I care about. The world does seem a little .. empty though. Like town areas are just pavement everywhere with nothing much going on until the little circle of stores or merchants. The music seems good so far, shame Jeremy Soule didnt do the score - no idea why. Its no Oblivion or Skyrim though.
What else? I dont know its just cool. Forever all ive wanted is to play Oblivion or Skyrim with friends. Even just those games with coop wouldve been perfect. But to have hundreds of people in town running around on their own adventures is cool.
One thing that made me laugh was when I started doing the blacksmith, woodworker skill training. Whenever I needed to use the work benches there was a good 20 other players there too. All the players bodies where all merging into each other with us working and talking to NPCs to get supplies.
A friend of mine was big into Skyrim and really curious about this game. I set up a share play and he watched me play for an hour. Hes very on the fence but I think hell get it just so we can play. He recently got the Witcher and is thinking of trading it in for this (he doesnt have much money for games so always buys and trades for new games.) He says the Witcher is very confusing and overly complicated so this might be easier for him to grasp.
But I will continue to play and do some more quests which I have a million to do at this point.
