Agreed. I'll edit the rest out since there's an NDA and I'm paranoid.

That was the first thing I noticed. My computer is a little outdated, Radeon 6850, 4gb ram, amd Athlon II x4 quad 3ghz quad core processor. I had the settings on high and experienced a consistent ~30fps. I was impressed by that (and surprised).

I think the combat can be improved.. but will it? IDK. They tried to mix the classic Elder Scrolls with MMO and it just doesn't work very well.

This one aspect, the combat, is going to be a very large part of the game. If it feels clunky when you're fighting a single target/opponent 1 on 1, what will it be like in fast-paced PVP or raids? I think that would just exacerbate the problems I have with it.

I'm still excited even though I haven't played it yet. Graphics go a long way in holding my attention for a while and if I can explore massive worlds, I'm still going to give this a shot.

The combat is the exact same as all games prior, like Skyrim, Oblivion etc with the EXCEPTION of a now present action bar....

Further, its beta. If there is something you do not like, report it.

As far as the quest, they are MMOish which is understandable, but the questing will be bland to this point. Though as I have gotten deeper, it is much more interesting and becoming Elder Scrolls like.

I didn't play a ton, but it was very meh to me. Didn't particularly like the UI and menus. Quest system was very run-of-the-mill. It's still really early though.

Feels clunky to me. It was intended to be the same but it just doesn't translate to MMO well, imo.

I thought some areas were clunky but others were really polished for an early beta game. I'm not sure if I like the control set up. I'm more used to the wow hotbars and feel like the neverwinter-esque set up is over simplified. That being said, the graphics are very pretty and crisp and the character creation is good enough to get a different look. Interested to play more than the 4 classes that were in the game. That being said, this is probably still a day one purchase for me. There's going to be a ton of people playing because of the Elder Scrolls name attached and it should have some good backing and content.
