The skill system is complex and more interesting than the usual bottom-of-the barrel idiocy, I'll give them that. But good god is the combat terrible.
They seem to have worked hard on everything but the combat -- the quest design in the Elf starting area is actually quite competent, and some of the Khajit writing is downright funny. They probably paid a small fortune for Michael Gambon and John Cleese, who are turning in good work here. They also deserve major trolling points for using "vestige" as the general appellation for the heroic protagonist.
But none of that matters if you spend tens of hours hammering the auto attack button and using one or two special attacks (possibly graduating to three or four in the late game). I've never seen so many people in a starter area complain about how bored they are. Tanks are leveling with bows just to avoid having to go into melee combat.
And god fuck the amount of instancing in this. It's absolutely revolting. You can't open a fucking barn door without secretly getting shoved into a new instance.
