I’d love to know what other people think of this game. I got into the early access yesterday and played a bit for the last couple of days. My expectations were fairly low and they managed to hit that low bar almost exactly. Cumbersome movement, mediocre combat system, and everything hooked up to a timer and/or premium currency. It has an Oblivion vibe that I’ve missed and random loot will always pull me in a little. But other than that, yikes.
Why oh why would you take my favorite part of an Elder Scrolls game, the sense of discovery, and work so very hard to avoid any at all? It’s like it’s purpose built to omit all sense of wonder and surprise. You build your town up, you’re teleported to a dungeon, you complete missions killing goblins or skeletons, you wait for chests to open, and then you lather, rinse, repeat. It’s all so repetitive. There’s no exploration and no where to actually go. Couple that with no voice acting and miserably dull conversations and you got yourself a real stinker.
Maybe I’m missing the fun, but I’m worried Bethesda doesn’t understand why people like their games.
