After these many years and hype i would expect more, much more.
The world seems very linear and cut up into zones which does not give you an impression of a vast world that you can explore. Also you dont seem to stand out more than others, but since it is a new game I try not to make this influence my score.
Another problem is the registration issue and non IE compatibility and bugs at the time of launch (for european players), this makes me question how secure will be the online payment?
I got the pre-order which was not worth it, but at least I saved money and will not buy the actual game
