4. For the media, yes...for the public, no idea.

Not risking it, I'll be non-specific. I'm not impressed. The sacrifices necessary to make an MMO of Elder Scrolls has convinced me fairly quickly that they should have contemplated making something closer to the previous material in party-multiplay...smaller groups in a more interactive and immersive world.

It feels too much like every other MMO ever made, not enough like The Elder Scrolls excepting its adherence to the same source material.

I don't want to play with 40 people in a world where I can do very little interaction and read few books in a world where I am largely constrained in where I can go. I want to be able to play something that plays like Skyrim or Oblivion or even Morrowind with my 5 closest friends.
