I read so many complaint articles about this game. I'm going to make the list of suggestions that would make ESO perfect for EVERYONE:
1) Unlimited inventory.
2) Invincible combat / god mode.
3) Instant max level if you like.
4) PvP iWIN button.
5) Questing that is.... well, not hunting mobs, not talking to anyone, not going any places, not searching for any objects and not actually doing anything.
OK - now that we've clarified and got that out of the way.
This game takes some of the best elder scrolls qualities and puts them in MMO form.
I LOVE the combat, you don't actually have to click the tab button, you can swing your weapon and hit whats in front of you. The only part of elder scrolls actually missing is the ability to hit friendlies / npcs. Maybe later?!?!? ;D
I really enjoy the story and the ability to do quests 'if you like' or just go hunt for places and treasure chests on your own adventure. This has been long missing from mmo gameplay.
I'm closing the beta, and not playing it any more until launch, I want to leave the content as a mystery so I'll enjoy it more when it releases
Comments
1) I'm fine with limited inventory. I would also be fine with unlimited
2) I think most of the game is already like this. mobs are too easy mostly
3) I prefer the slower progression of this game.
4) Not sure if this is impying other games pvp is really easy comparitively? cause they arent. They are different, but I wouldnt say this is alot more skill based.
5) Honestly the quests in the game to lvl 10 have been pretty dull so far. The "story/lore" of them is cool. But the actual mechanics and types of quests are not all that varied or interesting. Theres talking to people and killing people....need more puzzles, defense, escort quests.
I like exploring and having the quests be "optional" as you say. The issue is because of mob levels you are fairly limited to what you can do and explore. Cant really go anywhere at any time successfully.

You what mate?
I still don't understand.
You do know the OP is trolling people right? It's actually kind of funny too.
Point 5 is the most important. I'd really like an example of a quest or some quests that are way better than TESO. Really
Hating something is wrong, when it's a video game is even silly
SWTOR got the best story questing in the genre, TSW got an innovative one that needs a brain and GW2 got an exploration based one, to explore the story of the world.
All those got unqiue questing systems and so does ESO with it's most beloved lore. Hating is silly indeed but hating back just makes it worse, sadly the mmorpg communties are all about hating nowadays.
How was Cyrodiil this week end? Didn't get to check it
They should sell these in the cash shop, a buck a pop, they'd probably make millions, especially if you could use it on members of your own faction who pissed you off.

Don't think there could have been a better reply to that.
Yes I know, but I'm replying based on what I think about those points of others that the OP was mocking.

Well for the most part, my experience in the betas conflicts with your advice and description of ESO. I didn't find it any more encouraging to exploration than most other mmos (except maybe swtor). For one the quests are the only decnet source of xp and they are pretty linear and hand-holding. When I tried exploring I encountered blocks either in the for of mobs who were way above my level, and/or areas with locked entrances (I assume these are for specific quests). Honestly havent seen what makes exploration in this game any better than others....
