Probably, I could never get mine to play. Is it on sale for like $8 right now? If so it's fun enough for that and it'll remain enjoyably long enough to get through all the vanilla storyline (which is absurdly long and if you do all 3 faction main quests and the free Morrowind chapter story you will have literally seen maybe two thirds of the total content in the game).
The bigger problem is that the endgame content is really... mediocre. DPS is, despite what the community breathlessly insists, primarily a gear check paired with a really obnoxious thing where you're animation canceling two things per second. In dungeons healer is just a 3rd DPS that maybe tosses down a HoT AoE and some stam/magic recovery stuff, while in trials they actually need to be fully specced with gear to buff their team and also fully specced into raw healing. Tanks make the boss sit in one place by pushing the taunt button once every 15 seconds, and that's pretty much it because there's very limited AoE taunt ability (it requires a specific armor set and specific moves to do) and they just removed soft-taunts to help gather trash completely for literally no reason. The overall community approach to dungeons is toxic as hell, while trials are paradoxically a little more relaxed but also are mechanically sparse and kind of boring.
So basically, do you like The Elder Scrolls setting and want to see all the cool places that you read about in the lore but the mainline games eschew in favor of "wot if generic high fantasy land #1245?"? If so it's worth getting when it's on sale cheap. If you want a good MMO with longevity to it and don't care about Elder Scrolls stuff, skip it.
... I don't think good MMO's exist, honestly. I'm not sure if that factors in here, but I was mostly interested it as a less grindy multiplayer game. I have multiple friends who love MMO's but I could never sink my teeth into them, as they're kinda boring with the repeated grinding for levels and point-and-click combat.
I will say that for all its faults, it's not super grindy in terms of like a BDO style "ok so now you're going to run in a circle for 12 hours straight one shotting everything you see and if you do this every single day then after a hundred days you will have gained a single level" endgame grinding shit. There's a lot of timegates on certain progression things, like riding skills and learning traits for gear crafting, and getting a character to level 50 the first time can take a few hours of grinding once you're through the story, but past that you'll get a ton of free XP daily which you can collect with just a single random normal dungeon run which helps with getting to the 160 champion point gear cap and once you're there you're set because gear will never need to be reground once acquired at that level because they don't ever increase the level or gear cap.
