I've just completed the first mission and I've reached Riverwood. Some initial thoughts:
- As expected, the graphics are stunning.
- I find the new right hand/left hand system slightly confusing.
- The opening sequence was a great way to introduce the player to the game-world. Impressive.
- I don't like the new, streamlined interface. I hope a mod reverts it back to Oblivion's.
- I quickly created a character, an High Elf, just to get a feel of the tutorial, but I will probably make another character to play through the game.
Based on the opening quest alone, I think an Imperial could be a solid choice, story-wise, or even a Nord. What race are you guys playing? Have you noticed any difference based on the race you chose?
- As usual, sneaking is always the weakest part of the gameplay. At least for me.
- You guys are totally right. The map is pretty useless. Why aren't the roads visible? That's just stupid.
- I haven't been able, of course, to test the new progression system, but right now I miss choosing a Class and a Birthsign.
And that's it for now. I'm definitely eager to play more
