Awesome game with so many different things to do. Caters to anyone's interests - fashion, house decorating, PvE, PvP, siege-related combat, questing, lore, harvesting, collecting, achievement hunting, etc. Can play solo or with others. So many amazing improvements in the last couple of years. I've been playing for around a decade now and I can't recommend it enough. Overall has a very kind and caring player base.

I love this game. It's got so much content and stuff to do, it's kinda nuts. It's almost too much for a casual gamer like me but that's part of what's nice too. If you wanna go deep, you can go really deep. But you can also just come have a binger every few months doing story content and it's still a really good time.

Game has a 150GB install and then a 100+GB update on top of that. Until they fix that they can go put their game in a sewer, maybe the skeevers will enjoy it.

Logged in to do one quest. Six hours later I was exploring a random cave, stealing cheese, and completely forgot what my original objective was. 👍 Recommended
