Tried it out Sunday, I liked it.  Picked up the imperial edition for $60 on Nuveem.

This past weekend was apparently the one where they waived the NDA. I didn't even bother logging in.

Seems to me like the best part about it was that it was Skyrim but not in the limiting biosphere of tundra. But then, I paid for Skyrim once, with all expansions, on sale. Doesn't seem like a comparable value to buy it and then pay-to-play.

Yeah, I quite liked the look of it too, so will be giving it a go.

What I like about Skyrim that still makes me come back and play it two and a half year later is the modding community.

That, and a strange attachment to Solstheim.

To all you guys who have been playing it - how is it?

It's the greatest CRPG (as opposed to JRPG) of all time, easily.  I keep coming back to it over and over.  I'm in an 'off' phase right now but at some point I'll go back and actually play Dragonborn (I have already beaten the main quest several times and the Dawnguard DLC once).

Everything is difficult.

Unfortunately I do not mean in a challenging way, just difficult as in crap UI, micro-management of inventory ......... that sort of thing. It looks great but that blasted UI keeps on spoiling things.

My son reckons that addons and mods might well sort a lot of these problems out, but atm he can't be bothered to play it either.

Most disappointing

I don't recall interface being too difficult - at least not in comparison to Skyrim.

Thanks RH, I think I will wait on it then.

My friends or I aren't really having any problems with the inventory.....

Probably depends on how much crafting you want to do, I ran out really quickly and couldn't face the idea of using a bank character 

Re the interface, garbon is right to say it is no worse than Skyrim, but I like things to flow easier in a MMO game, it is more important.....there are real people to chat to etc etc. Of course I'm getting older and it takes longer for me to get up to speed with a different interface than you young'uns

I can't stabilize Skyrim and I don't have 1500$ to upgrade the PC again and I'm getting tired of redoing the same early steps every time I try a new game to see if it's stable so I though of this.  My continued dislike of MMOs remain but I still hunger for Tamriel.  How does it compare to the real thing?
