So this is a fun game.
They're still having launch issues, but I'm having a blast with it all the same. I mean really, how can you not enjoy the prospect of being a humanoid four-eared cat with horns whose culture consists of an unstoppable war machine hellbent on conquering all that stands in their way?
The combat has a bit of a learning curve since it's fairly fast paced and the default control scheme is a tad clunky, but people who know how to do keybinding magic should be ok while I'm just going to invest in a mouse with more buttons.
There's a good selection of classes, but I've really settled into my niche on Warrior. There's plenty of flexibility though. I mean seriously, there's an entire trait line I can take that seems to focus on reviving people. As a warrior. I'm totally going to take that and run with it all the way to the goal posts and possibly out of the stadium as well. Also: banners with AoE buffs and shouts that are basically bard songs. I'm playing Bard while hitting things with a gigantic hammer and shooting things in the face with a rifle. How cool is that?
The new quest system is definitely working out. I'm never at a loss for something to do while running around. They do repeat though, so I've got some concerns about the long term viability, but right now it's pretty solid. It really makes the game something you can just pick up and play.
