I'm kind of cautiously optimistic myself. Not going to jump on any sort of hype train though, Fallout 4 and 76 (moreso 76) left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
From Morrowind up to Skyrim I loved their shit, now they're kind of on the back burner for me.
It is, but they get better once you get the real sword training like a third of the way through the game.
Yeah, when I quit I had full plate armor and was doing stuff at the monastery, so I made it passed that bit. Still rough controls.
