Is it me or do this sound absolutely vague on purpose?
Could be me
Well, I could give you my first impressions.
First, to start you off, it seems that nine of the races (I can't remember if they removed imperial or not) are locked in a 3x3 grid which seems to prevent you from say, playing as a dark elf under anything but the ebonheart pact. Noticably, however, is the fact that argonians are allied to the dark elves. You know, the people who in the lore has enslaved the argonians and oppressed him for god-knows-how long.
After you get out of the character creator, you're in Coldharbor, Molag Bal's realm. It seems to do well enough at presenting a prison break scenario, and at representing the realm well enough. But during the weapon select, weapons cannot be reselected, and weapons are scattered around awkwardly, and the game only provides you with a basic fire staff, when I feel like they could have provided you with your choice of fire, ice, and shock under the same weak damages.
Once you free yourself from coldharbor, you wake up on a small island (or at least I did under the ebonheart pact) and can roam around freely. the island felt similarish to the runescape tutorial island to some degree, as you're somewhat stuck there, the shops are very limited, and you are immediately given quests. I was given a quest to free some people and find out if the high elves were invading the island. As I kept trying to find lost people, the game kept giving me quests upon quests as I kept slightly finishing up my initial quest of finding lost people and sending them back to town. A big glaring problem I've had, was that if you were given a new quest right in the middle of something, and you reach the quest objective, you must select it as your current quest before you can proceed, This has never been an issue in any other Elder Scrolls game.
I know this it was a beta, but you would think they would have gotten down the first three hours of gameplay to perfection.
TL;DR I didn't make it past the runescape tutorial island. Several of the quests stopped working and required me to try anything and everything.
Did you play during the beta, Anonyma?
I had the bugs myself but ever since the full game came out I've only encountered very minor bugs, and they fixed those big ones, plus in every alliance you wake up in the capital now and you can choose to go back to the starting island to quest.
Wait what it came out?
