Satisfied with some disappointments.
I absolutely love where they're taking TES, and frankly relieved that there's still a dev making expansive heroic fantasy adventure RPGs at all. The art style -- and individual art assets I've seen so far -- is everything I hoped for, the emphasis on detail and handcrafted environments is very much welcome, and everything from the progression system to the bestiary (so far) is almost too good to be true.
Disappointments are few and relatively minor. Primarily I'm disappointed that attributes were removed rather than streamlined & better used. I'm disappointed that more isn't being made of PC hardware and DirectX 11. And I'm disappointed that mounts are merely a possibility rather than a major feature, expanded and improved over Oblivion.
I have a very positive impression of the game overall.
