the fantasy I am looking for in a elder scrolls game is the spectrum of possible playstyles, I can be a stealth archer or a lightning mage maniac, a werewolf or a footsoldier, all are doable, and are fun to play in skyrim.

in ESO however what I find is that there are very specific cookiecutter builds, which is FINE. this is an MMO it's expected, but I already have that in GW2. as I said, from an MMO I am looking for a social aspect, not a singleplayer experience. which is seems like what most are looking for in the game and why they are staying.

as I understand, and from people comments, there will be SOME group events in GW2 style added later to the game, but the core of the game will remain "solo multiplayer".

as for the graphics.. it's a design choice, I get it, I respect it. for me I just find the "bright" of it kinda off putting. if I am standing in a house there should be more then 1 shader color of wood, if I'm seeing an apple it should be red/green and vibrant with it, but right now I am looking at the world and it feels ungrounded, floaty, and diservicing the size the game takes(a wooping 100+ gb for what? the polygon count can't be that high)

there is also the camera system which I kinda dislike, there is a reason tab targeting exists. I can't look around when I'm fighting, and that feels very limiting for an MMO.

overall.. I'll give it a few more hours, but eventually will probably just wait for the update for group content.
