So. As of this moment I have 20+ hours on TESO: Tamriel Unlimited...

... And I have not played a single second of the game.

The game Installs, and brings me to the loading screen which would ultimately bring me to the launcher where the game will update and patch.
But it never stops loading.
For 20 hours I have watched a launchers loading screen.
Only once did it make it to the patching screen, and once it was finished patching the screen stayed stuck at 0.00 mb remaining. 100% comeplete. So I had to exit out of the launcher and try again. Which hasn't worked yet. I've looked around to find solutions to this and only one person has had the same problem and they were not given an answer so as of right now this game is unplayable for me. A waste of $60.

Why do I recommend it then? Because the game is actually quite good from me watching my friends play, and seeing how it all works in game. Sure Zenimax doesn't really know how an MMO should work but they got a great creation here. If you can get this game to work, then you're probably gonna have lots of fun with it.

This game reminded me a lot about Civilizations, but when I started playing I realized that it was only a first impression. While Civ can be a little less complex and straightforward, this game requires a bit more planning. The tech tree's are limited only to what resources you have, and your choice in victory can come swift or be drawn out with only a few choices. Combat is a mix between tacticle or straightforward. Some people complained, but I found it pretty simple if you just avoid battles that are less then 75% in your favor.
What I liked the most was the quests. The story is quite hard to follow sometimes if your struggling to simply outdo the AI or other players. Most of the time the quests don't give you much, but they're always helpful. Then sometimes you go way out of your way to complete a simple objective just because the reward is AMAZING! They add a deeper sense of immersion and are fun if you're into roleplaying too. I'll warn you though, this game requires a bit of reading and paying attention. Things can sneak up on you if you don't watch all your territory and statuses.
