Despite my initial intention to wait several weeks for the usual MMO launch issues to clear up, I picked up ESO yesterday. No issues with install, and the 15gb update took about 1 hour to download. Ended up playing around on the EU server for several hours until I was able to get into NA.
After about 10 hours of play time so far I'm really enjoying this game, and can see myself pouring many hours into it over the course of the next few months (or longer). The voice acting is great, the graphics are impressive, excellent sound, the quests and story line are thus far engaging, and the game play works really well with the controller. My only gripes so far are the lack of an actual persistent mini map (although it's possible I just missed that option, dunno), lack of color blind options (I'm red/green colorblind and am having trouble differentiating between NPC and players without reading their names), and player communication (I've just removed myself from the "area" chat channel to avoid the barking dogs and crying children).
Despite my minor qualms I'll say that it's been awhile since I've had that "I can't wait to play this game again" feeling with a console game, but ESO is giving me that feeling. Fantastic game (so far) and am really looking forward to seeing how it progresses over time.
