I've never played it because Elder Scrolls is my favorite game series ever and I always worried that either I don't like it compared to the regular ones, or that I like it too much and get way too addicted.. haha.Have you played it? If not, then you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer size and quests. If you can I'd recommend joining a clan.
No harm in trying. I think I shouldn't feel overwhelmed but we'll see.
