Terrible
- There is a bug where all the children in the realm
a) look the same
b) sound the same
c) can't be killed
- There is a bug where the Two Handed trainer keeps running up to you and pulling out his sword and telling you how talkative you are. You can't kill him to shut him up
- Nothing interesting to explore (Where is the crab city or volcano or moon city or tree city like morrowwind?)
- No interesting mage guild quests (compare to Oblivion where it took ages to become arch mage Skyrim is oh you found a staff we bow down before you oh great magician)
- Fights can be insane (insanely easy mixed in with one hit kills of the player).
a) OHK by dragon melee. Don't try melee only
b) One fight where 6 dudes have a shout that makes you roll around on the floor for 30 seconds. Sure, it's hard to lose the battle, but I've got better things to do than watch my player be paralysed 90% of the time.
c) The paralyze bug. Get a sword. Enchant with 1 second paralyze. Get the 5% soul recharge perk. Paralyzing an opponent for any length of time causes them to be out of battle for an additional 10 seconds as they try to stand up again :/
- The dragon shouts are mostly useless (The only two I used were throw voice for an assassin, which was more of a fun diversion than being useful, and the slow time, when I got caught in some screwed up battle where my sword was doing almost no dmg vs undead but finally realized fireball OHKed them ...)
- Weird chance stuff. Hit a dragon priest (Krosus) in my third dragon encounter (at ~ level 6). Eventually his staff ran out of juice and I daggered him to death :/ Next dragon priest encounter (Guy with 100% mana mask) was at ~level 50 and the dude didn't even attack.
They did a nicer job of balancing the levelling though. No more alchemy quick path (probably gone too far the other way), but smithing is an easy leveller.
Pity it's best of breed.
