The Elder Scrolls® Online

To start I love this game, it shows that there is passion behind the development team and behind the game's community, it shows that they do care about the game. I have 1k+ hours on consoles, decided to restart on PC. I would like to give thanks to ZOS_Kevin and ZOS_JessicaFolsom. You two are the pillars of the community and we are grateful for all the work you put in.

Now for the bad stuff:

- ZOS please fire the person/people who writes the promotion materials. This is not the first time that something like the ESO+ discount "misunderstanding" (bait and switch in reality) has happened. I wouldn't be surprised if the ECC will send them a letter to compensate the scammed players. Makes me believe that you not only communicate with your playerbase poorly, but also with the different departments in your company. You also need to communicate it better with the new players that the COMPLETE collection doesn't actually give you all the content in the game.

- The official forums moderators should also get replaced. They are power hungry, they will delete comments, ban anyone who they just don't like. I was considering name dropping some of the scourge of the moderation team, but I'll leave them out.

- ESO+ - That's it, it's just unnecessary. You create the problems and sell the solutions

- The Crownstore. Stop selling Vampire and Werewolf unlocks for 13€ when you can just type it in chat, and someone would happily bite you for free. Also quit selling inventory upgrades. They are unlockable with the in-game currency. I also hope that the EU's new regulation will get rid of your predatory Crown Crate system. It's disgusting that games are allowed to have an in-game casino.

Overall please note that I am not hating just to hate on the game, but rather want to give my feedback to hopefully improve the game. Note that all the negative I wrote isn't about the game mechanics/story quality/design or anything. Your biggest problem are the people making the decisions behind the monetizations or rather how you present them.

Game itself is pretty good. However, I do not recommend purchasing ESO+. They offered a 50% sale on their website and very clearly stated it was for ALL Steam players. Upon purchasing ESO+ it was not discounted and full price was charged.

I contacted both Steam support and Zenimax support, after a few days they changed the post on the website to say "only first time subscribers", and then they just told me there was no refund, and "apologies for the confusion". ESO had left the post up for several days, and many people bought ESO+ based on this information.

Not much else I can do at this point, but leave this review as a warning for how they treat their players.

Would be such an amazing game if everything didnt cost over 30 bucks.

Also, I resubscribed during a sale, only to pay full price and for steam to tell me that I couldn't get my money back...

PLEASE bethesda, this is like the only fucking game u actively work on.

The DLC peaked with Elsweyr and has been getting worse since. Its super expensive to play any of the fun parts of the game now and yet despite that I can't stop fucking playing.
I really enjoy this game but I can only recommend it when its on sale. Don't make the same mistake I did, the dlc largely isn't worth it especially if you don't plan to get into the game competitively. Too much locked behind paywalls that should be free for all, like the craft bag, jewelry crafting, antiquities, etc. Lots of "Causing a problem and selling the solution" with some of those things, especially with the craft bag.
Honestly if the option was available I'd make my review neutral, I don't despise this game, but unfortunately I can't say I adore it like I used to.

Had this game for 10 years under the same account name, decided to play some PvP matches one night for the first time and the next day I was perma banned for my account name. Tried working with support, but they wouldn't do anything about it.

The latest news regarding season passes has the severely addicted losing their minds, but it's not that bad at all. The pass will cost less than the expansions that used to drop yearly. This is just a new way of dropping content. The new subclass system will make ESO more like other TES games too, so I don't see anything but good things in the future.

As far as the monthly subscription (ESO+) goes. It's not required. It gives some perks, but you can easily play without them. (Yes, you can be a grand master crafter even without the craft bag.)

The game is fun solo or in groups. So if you haven't played yet, or haven't played in awhile I recommend giving it a try.

I like the game,hate the makers of the game. They promised in the beginning that all Dlc content would be free if you bought the game. They lied!

I got this game on xbox when it first came out, i remember when they promised players wouldnt have to buy dlc if they had a subscription, they lied, and made up some bulsht about it not technically being dlc, i wonder how much all the zones cost today, certainly not free like other subscription games, the marketing strategy of rebuy our game you already payed for several times, these greedy money grubbers use predatory money system of the purchasable items being uneven numbers so you have to buy more, just shamelessly greedy garbage, magic is tied to weapons which isnt lore accurate and kinda sucks too, its a shame theyre so greedy

Season pass???? Really??? Like this comment change!!!
So we need to buy the game, then buy a sub for eso + (that was fine), convenient, you could just unsub if you were planing on a break from the game or you finished the content you wanted, but now they want to CONTENT LOCK BEHIND A PAYWAL (new game price) to see new content and pay for eso + (for old content) and they try to mask that bs with ugly pets and mounts.

ESO starting to get super money hungry, hope they get the UBISOFT TREATMENT, from us the player-base.
The old system worked fine, 1 bigger expansion a year or couple of years, now this bs.
This is the start of the downfall of ESO, it was fun while it lasted.
//We can do this, all just unsub from eso+ for a year.

// PS, i might be wrong about somthing, i just watched the live stream.

Buy to Play, + ESO Plus + Cash Shop + Content Pass, what a Cash Cow, im Out, Goodbye

Game has been slowly dying for years, but now it's announced the kill shot: SEASON PASS

Excuse me, "content pass". They announced they're going season pass mode, which will NOT be included with ESO+. So now it's an extra 50$ yearly purchase on top of the monthly 15$, just to get the same amount of content we were getting years ago, that they decided to cut down on, only to back pedal and revert their model yet again (and again).

No new content for ESO+ subscribers, we are now forced to spend even MORE money for DLC. Bad enough when they pulled something similar with Morrowind and calling DLC "Chapters". At least we were still getting the DLC for "free" included with our subscriptions. Now, everyone has to shell out a ton of money (over 100$ in some countries) for less content. Do not support these insidious business tactics.

The devaluing of ESO+ even more, the laundry list of bugs that have been present since the beginning of the game, the lack of awareness of the devs and inability or refusal to listen to their players makes it increasingly hard to justify paying for ESO+ or their scummy "Content Pass" (season pass), let alone continuing playing at all. Steer clear of this game until they revert some things, however unlikely it is.

bought the game to give it a try, though seems like buying the game does not actually give you access to the game, content locked behind pay walls , monthly membership stuff, would have thought a free to play game had all that poopies but nope here you go buy the game then buy all the content as well , waste of time, waste of money, would not recommend unless you want to be a money whale for them

hell only reason i am even typing this review is my steam showed me the "amazing" content pass for 2025 ummm how about go poopies yourself and release fully complete games instead

The new ESO Direct, their re-branding from Chapters (Large Expansions) to a "Seasonal Format" is abysmal. Not only is their likely to be less content now but they are still charging near the same amount while also trying to get you to be on a subscription if you want Previous DLC access and a infinite bag for materials in the game (Which without that infinite materials bag the game is an absolute nightmare to micro manage those materials if you at all want to get into crafting or selling materials). Not even Destiny 2, for all its issues for which their are many, doesn't try to do both a seasonal model AND weasel in a subscription fee on top of that if you want full access to the game and the amount you'd have to pay for to get access through purchasing those DLC's is even more than Destiny 2 its insane. Very anti Consumer. This change was done in order for them to have more time to work on improving the game, which tells me they have leadership completely unwilling to invest in the game and hire more talent to keep the same content cadence AND fix the game (which they barely keep up with bugs, bugs for which have been there for years and yet to be fixed).

I think the game is a decent value to new players though based on what's available from the base game, but not at all for current veterans or returning players. What you get in story of the base game which originally could all be completed in a couple months back in 2015, so about 30$ if you subscribed those two months to do all the content, compared to these 50$-80$ DLC's which give you no where near the same amount of content, you could see why players begin to feel scammed. And these DLC purchases thus far have appeared not even to put a dent into their primary revenue stream that comes from the crown store purchases. So why on the Gods green earth would we still be nickel and diming with a around 15million a month coming in the crown store, with what appears to be very little investment being put into hiring additional resources to maintain the health of the game. If they charged 500$ an expansion we would STILL not see them invest back into maintaining the game and upgrading and improving it in significant ways like several other MMO's have done for their engines and servers. Or was the coding for the engine done so poorly that its really impossible to maintain the game in this way? Yeah it will be a constant butterfly affect within the code to make changes even having to go so far as the root coding, but that's taking care of the product, its hard. That's the job....

I'm sick of hearing from game devs saying how expensive it is to make video games meanwhile completely free to play games made from Inde studios are crushing it in terms of maintaining and improving their games and the amount of content they give their customers which is SO plentiful you see players investing back into the game themselves knowing their purchases and their time are respected. Worth investing into. Their excuses are bullsh*t. Coming from what actually is mismanagement, bureaucracy, and crippling unwillingness to invest back into the game for improvements/maintenance.

Sven of Larian Studios nailed the problem we have with current Game Development studios who prioritize profit before the product itself. If the product is priority, and has vision and passion at the helm in leadership positions, the revenue will follow. Funnily enough he echo's very similar sentiments Steve Jobs had about why companies that create products fail over time. Financial Suites get into decision making positions, instead of Product Development who are the ones with actual passion and vision for the product, and then you see the product being great NOT being the #1 prioritization anymore. Profit becomes #1. It's a business after all they say. And then we all get to witness the gradual degradation of that product.

The most recent examples of this for live service games that I've played? Well ESO obviously, SWTOR, and Destiny 2. Which all followed the same trends downward and produced the same excuses. Which would be believable if it weren't for these other VERY successful live service games from Inde Studios even which are not following those downward trends and give an unreal and unexpected amount of content FOR FREE. I'd add WoW as another one of the severe disappointments, though with what my main complaints are, Blizzard surprisingly does VERY well with maintaining the game and improving it. Their struggle is listening to players feedback for the games content.

ESO needs ACTUAL investment from its leadership, those in decision making positions who likely are not driven with passion for the product nor have a vision for it. So it appears to be pretty bleak that this will happen unless its at the expense of the product itself which is arguably happening now with their re-branding to Seasons which likely will be less content (the entire seasons content cumulatively being less than chapters we were getting in comparison), so that the development team could focus more on upgrading and improving the base game. Rather than hiring more talent to keep the games development cadence with Chapters AND improve/upgrade the game. This game is crippled by greedy leadership. Or maybe just the lack of passionate leadership with a vision.

With all of this said. I do NOT hate the game!! I loved it!!! I don't want to hurt the staff who are diligently working on it. I just want what used to be my favorite game to get the love and investment it deserves, I sincerely believe it could be the TOP MMO if it did ever get that level of investment towards improvements and upgrades but damn will it need leadership with passion and vision still too. I want the game to succeed. But it's not getting the investment it needs to do so and it doesn't appear to have the leadership that truly has a passion and vision for making this game the best MMO out there, or at the very least the greatest game that they've ever made, which I'd hope is their goal.

I have played ESO across 2 platforms and almost 9,000 hours total. I loved this game.

Past tense - because Bethesda are now just taking the mickey with this season pass crap!

i've paid $150 annually for my ESO plus subscription SINCE THIS GAME CAME OUT! I did so because they advertised it as ensuring that the membership would include ANY AND ALL FUTURE CONTENT - except that is now a lie.

The ESO plus membership is now $150 for effectively just bag space and a few bank slots.

And now $84.95 for the 2025 content pass, on TOP?!?!!!

Absolutely not.

Get bent Bethesda!

Let me get this straight, instead of balancing the game and bringing outdated sets up to date and lifting up left-behind classes they will just blend everything into a huge nothingburger? I love this game I WANT to love this game, but patch after patch it just keeps on getting worse and worse.

More variety, you say? I say 1-2 build that will be effective endgame, and if you do not comply with it, you will be left behind.

If you are a quester, roleplayer or metanerd, good for you, this update is peak, but if you just like to play your class (which will not exist anymore) and like to have any sort of individuality that is left in this game it's over.

Incoming blandness, monotone nothingness, balancing nightmare, unplayable pvp, either obey the new meta in pve or be left behind, the end.

Today marks the death of ESO, words I thought I'd ever say. Cancelled my sub and uninstalling for the first time ever, it's been a good ride while it lasted, hate to see it end this way. When the June 2025 update comes out this game will be no longer recognisable or recommendable to anyone.

The game is solid. MMO's aren't really my thing but as a fan of the Elder Scrolls, I am really enjoying the stories and additions to the lore. I really appreciate that most content in the game can be done solo, thus it is able to feel somewhat like a main-line TES game.

Although I'm a little bummed that the game went on sale two days after I bought it.

Yes. One of my favorites, Can play solo, with friends, guild or companions. It can be dicey after not playing for a while with updates and changes but overall, solid game.

It's like Skyrim but MMO. The base game is very cheap while on sale and has a lot of content. Surprisingly, there are still plenty of people playing this thing to this very day and it seems to be getting updates. Not sure why a game from 2014 is so large (100+gb) tho, also the updates are super large.

ESO is a lore hunter's wet dream. It goes into deep lore, serious deep lore on the regular.

Is it the best elder scrolls game ever made? No.
is it the best MMO ever made? No.

But it is a /good/ game.

It has a solid gameplay loop, a mountain of content over the years of active development, and more than enough stuff to keep you busy while you hunt down all the story and make your perfect vestige.

If you love playing the Elder Scroll games like Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, you will love this. You can play solo or with friends. Some quests and areas might be too hard to face alone, but there is plenty to do by yourself. I love it. Didn't think I would, since I'm not social and don't normally play online games.

This game is absolutely amazing. I have been playing religiously for the last week. Every quest, every side quest, guild and people I've met have been absolutely amazing. The fact we can use Add-ons to help simplify and enhance the game makes it even more fun.

The Elder Scrolls Online – More Disappointment Than Expectation

After all the hype and anticipation for an online version of the legendary series, The Elder Scrolls Online leaves a lot to be desired. On paper, it sounds great – a huge world, quests, combat, but it just doesn’t deliver.

Gameplay: Boring and Uninspired
The combat is a mess. Attacks feel delayed, and enemies don’t die even when you’re hitting them correctly. The mechanics are repetitive, and the animations are clunky, making battles more of a chore than fun.

Story: Not What You’d Hope For
The story is weak, even though the lore is solid. Sure, there are a few interesting moments, but most quests boil down to “kill all the monsters” or “fetch this item.” Compared to the main Elder Scrolls games, the story takes a back seat, and you never really feel like a hero.

World: Beautiful But Empty
The locations are beautiful, but they quickly feel lifeless. Instead of getting immersed in the world, you’re reminded that it’s just a game – too many players running around, and NPCs with no depth. The immersion suffers because of it.

Monetization: Enough Already
The game is technically free to play, but you’ll have to pay if you want a comfortable experience. Most useful features, like extra inventory slots, are locked behind paywalls, and the constant need to buy new expansions gets old fast.

Should You Play?
Only if you’re a die-hard TES fan and don’t mind MMO annoyances. But if you’re looking for the depth and excitement of Skyrim or Oblivion, look elsewhere.

Final Verdict: 4 empty wallets out of 10.

🌸🎮 From Console to PC: A Fresh ESO Adventure! 🎀✨

OMG, moving from ESO on Xbox Series X to PC has been such a fun change! 😍💖 I already loved the game on console, but now I get to experience it in a whole new way!

The biggest difference for me? Keyboard & mouse controls! 🎯💻 It took a little getting used to, but once I adjusted, it felt really natural! Also, chatting is SO much easier—no more painfully slow virtual keyboard! 💬✨ Now I can actually type fast and communicate without struggling!

One thing that really surprised me was how active the PC NA community is! 😲🎉 The Xbox NA servers were always super lively, so I was expecting PC to feel emptier since some YouTubers said it doesn’t have as many players… but it doesn’t feel that way at all! 💖 There are always people in towns, world events are packed, and finding groups is easy! 🏹✨

If you’re thinking of switching? Go for it! 💕💻 It’s a different experience, but still the same amazing world of ESO!

✨💖 See you in Tamriel, Champion! 💖✨

Super flexible MMO, not a ton of mental energy required. If you liked questing in TES games, this is worth a try.

You don't need a sub to play, but I recommend one if you're going to play at all.

I've given the game 871 hours. That's a fair trail time, me thinks. The game is not for me. I did and do however love Oblivion and do not want this review to be a punch in the nose to the incredible creators.

It is non-functional. I only paid $2 and I want it back
but I can't because the burned my 2 hr return period with 100 GB of ingame downloads prior to starting.
The game ran once. I finished the tutorial and it hasn't let be back in since. I get a 307 error and booted off the server both North America and Europe.

Play Path of Exile

The game is trash.
UI is overloaded.
The game doesn't provide you with a proper tutorial and explain what are the mechanics.
Pay to win, since if you not willing to pay for the subscription and DLCs you won't use all content in paid model game.
Also it's not integrated with Steam, You download ~130 GB and after that ~90 GB of content (Why not integrate and download all at once?)

Amazing game, hundreds of hours worth of content. can be played alone or with some friends, either or the experience is spot on. I found it to really scratch the want to play Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, but trying something new. if you haven't played before I'd highly recommend giving it a go but give it some time as can take a while to get used to!

I didn't even install this game yet and I can tell you I am already having a horrible experience.

After spending the entire day downloading it via steam and finally getting the "your game is ready to play" notification after downloading a crazy 119.6 GB of bulls*** the Zenimax launcher launched, what I expected to be a "PLAY" button turns out to be a "DOWNLOAD" button.

and guess what? it wants to re-download 97.35 GB ALL OVER AGAIN..

WHAT THE F-U-C-K?

Stupid freemium game that takes up almost 200 gigs.

I paid 2 dollars for the "starter edition" and just the launcher is 160. It now wants to download 90GB just to update.

The game doesn't even look that good! How bloated is this piece of crap?

All this just to dip my toes in a stale MMO that nickels and dimes you to access the content that's rotting on my hard-drive. Optimize your garbage.

Maybe when I become old fat and retarded I'll recoup on my $2 investment.

I just wanted to copy/paste the ticket i sent to the Developers:

"I just downloaded 135gb of game files via steam.
Tried opening the game, but instead opened a launcher with another 96gb of download data. I let the launcher run for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasnt verifying files instead of downloading, but no.... its redownloading the game. Searched online for an answer and found out that you first make me download the old game files without the patches and everything.... OLD GAME FILES THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED, then you update it via launcher. WHY DID I DOWNLOAD THE GAME FILES THAT ARE GOING TO BE CHANGED IN THE FIRST PLACE?????

I was ready to play the game after 16hrs of download, got fucked in the face instead.
If you think its not a big deal, in the remote area where I live... I dont have unlimited optic cable internet etc. i have to pay for my data just like mobile data.... so every 100gb is is another 11 euros. So thank you for taking my money without giving me nothing in return.

This is not a ticket i need help with. I just wanted to say fuck you to the developer and the employee reading this. I hope you have a terrible launch of every new game or dlc and you go bancrupt.

fuck you"


the end

0/10 I decline to spend another 11 euros to play the game i got scammed by. Blacklisting the developer. And on more for the road: fuck you

ATTENTION: EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS I REVIEWED THE GAME AFTER 10 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY, I DID NOT PLAY FOR AN HOUR!

Idk. i needed to download the game 3 times and then it didn't even let me connect.

Although the pvp which is an endgame for most MMO's is certainly forgotten by devs, ESO it is the only MMO I can come back to and play again after some time

Download 140 gb, start the game, launcher opens up and starts download 90 gb more

what the fuck is this shit?

Most stuff is blocked by The Great Paywall anyway the fuck I need roughly 230 gb for???

The game states it's 130 gb but it's actually 270 gb
And that's only the steam part
Outside of steam you still need to download an additional 120 gb of additional content so about 400 gbs in total
This additional 120 gb is calculated into the playtime so you cant refund if your download is slow

Hey, this game is actually fun to pla- AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURED. YOU HAVE BEEN BOOTED FROM SERVER.

Oh and just to rub it in your face more we will give you 30 min penalty for disconnecting.

Why does it happen? Who knows? Even their advanced team's support members are unable to fix this. I've tried port forwarding, port triggering, sending detailed msinfo reports, static IP, clean boot, new user in windows, changing DNS servers, uninstalling all mods and addons, repairing the game, renaming ProgramData file as recommened by support and NONE OF THIS WORKS. FIX YOUR GAME. I have no problems in other titles. Also I am constantly on a call on Discord and there is no disconnection when those so called "UNEXPECTED ERRORS" occur in Elder Scrolls Offline.

When you play a match in battlegrounds (PVP quickmatch of sorts) and see that everybody stops in place RUN. Run away from this game because even after eons of troubleshooting your PC Hardware and network nothing will be fixed. Spend your money elsewhere. You will thank me later.

Update:

I actually had to buy a VPN software for this game to work. Absolute circus I had to dish out additional money for a subscription to fix developers' mistake. I've got higher ping but at least I am not being booted from server (so far).

With that being said when you have no conectivity issues this games has a lot to offer. Lots of content and alive towns with players which makes a mmo a mmo. Crown Shop is predatory but I am okay with that personally as long as I can play the game.

Thousands of hours on xbox, and i'd need to give it all up and start over on my pc. In 2025, for an MMO, that is dogsh*t. The subscription service model SUCKS, but then they also have an aggressive cash shop (with terrible loot crates) and the events based around FOMO (fear of missing out) are very frequent. Feels bad as a player to spend my time in a place where I'm more of a customer than an adventurer.

I've only played 5 hours so far, never thought I'd play RPG style games. It's the open world aspect I like.

I wish it had more of a Skyrim feel, instead of feeling like a game catering to teenagers.

I wish the UI panels that show up on the left and right didn't require a magnifying glass, my old eyes have a difficult time reading them. Seriously, developers, lots of older people game too.

ESO is a game that tells you that a subscription isn't required, and then super glues a crafting bag to you with a big combination lock with enough tumblers to put your credit card info in.

ESO is also a game that, at every level up, feels like it's jingling keys in your face, your character screaming in what i can only hope is excitement, as a new dungeon unlocks for queue. but most early dungeon queues are terrible to sit through, highly recommend doing quests while you wait.

Elderscrolls online feels like a world that doesn't want you here, but since you've bothered installing is trying to entertain you just enough that you'll pay the monthly sub.

Honestly if I could leave a neutral review on this game that would be better, but it's still a playable experience. Is it an extremely fun one? No. Should it be 130 gigabytes? Definitely not. But if you want something to sink time into, this could do worse. A lot of people complain about the microtransactions, but if you really WANT to play a game, you can ignore them well enough.

I've played over 4k hours of this... and don't regret a minute.
I love sandbox games, because you can just do as the mood strikes.
I'd like the puzzles to be harder, and I'm not a social gamer, so I am unable to complete quite a few of the group elements, which is disappointing. Nonetheless, you can still do an awful lot on your own, and once you've levelled enough, a lot of the world bosses are solo-able. I just wish there weren't mechanics that required group action on some of the group dungeons, because it's nice to be able to keep challenging yourself but still play in your own way, rather than having to group. And yes, I know that it's an MMORPG, but Bethesda still hasn't brought out the next Elder Scrolls solo game, so you've got to go somewhere for your Tamriel fix.

After a while, you'll realize that every quest is pretty much the same tasks wrapped in a different region, skin etc.

As far as modern lore entries into pre-existing franchises from decades past, ESO does an excellent job staying faithful to the roots we fans all know and love while also growing the varied stories and lore in plausible, entertaining ways.

The game itself is fairly typical as far as MMO go, I am not an avid MMO player much myself outside of ESO and SWG so take my word such as it is. Just the same, the combat and mechanics satisfy my more casual requirements, but there are some complexities that are lost on me that many other players enjoy to utilize such as in PvP and endgame PvE.

All in all, if you are a fan of the Elder Scrolls franchise of games and stories I think it is worth your time and money to explore the stories of ESO. My cynicism was dashed years ago, at least as far as Elder Scrolls goes, largely in part thanks to ESO.

I just wish i would live in a timeline where microtransactions have been outlawed. They ruin every single online game. All of these games are designed to convince you to pay money for ingame content or in many cases just to make the game not frustrating to play. I hate it so much, I would easily pay 30 dollars a month just to play a good online game without this parasite behavior....games have adapted a parasitic concept and thus literally turned into a social economical parasite.
But i guess the parasites of the industry win....not a single online game out there that is worth playing and not a microtransaction garbage pile.

Game was fun when it first came out and now it seems like a macro hack fest for pvp.

Did it all, emperor, main story, ect.... have to pay to play or u are gimped.

They went the path of the darkside, greed rules all, same irl.

this game feels so robotic and generic compared to other elder scrolls games. every quest felt arbitrary and it was impossible to lose a fight

Endless story and adventures to keep your mind preoccupied for hours.

Fun game, really enjoyable combat. Basically Skyrim Online. Love the flexibility of character building, the way fact that so many skills are accessed through weapon choice and secondary mechanics. Also love the fact that all professions are accessible if you're willing to put the time into them, it's not like WoW where you can only have two at a time. I've honestly had a lot more fun with it than I expected, so did my friend who has been playing it constantly. The environments are also beautiful and really imaginative, just a really great escape all around.
