The Elder Scrolls:Online Alpha Review

[MintberryCrunch]

So, this is the first I've heard on it since the initial announcement, apart from a couple of dev diary style videos.

I wasn't all that fussed about it before, and actually didn't see it being all that good, but after hearing it from a (presumably) independent source, it seems like it could be quite interesting. His description of the combat is especially exciting, and the idea of first-person in an MMO is one I've been wanting to see for quite a while.
Then again, there is the possibility that this guy is experiencing some hype-blindness and it's not quite as good as he appears to be making out.
Anyway, your thoughts?

Not enough active skills for a MMORPG, I won't even try it (GW2 problems).

Only Diablo 3 / Path of Exile type games can get away with 5 skills.

Other than that - not fully explorable world.. Okay seriously? Same thing as Horde won't be able to visit Stormwind.
Mobs that work together - oh jolly amazing feature /yawn. Like how that will matter in the end game? SWTOR has a very involving grind to the end game with it's planest and class stories, but it's a failure.

In the end only Elder Scrolls die hard fans will play this together with some non factor players if it's F2P.
