Tried using Steam Workshop when I got a steam copy. The popular mods in nexus doesn't exist - turns out it has a size limit and that made a lot of overhauls/graphical mods not hosted (too big) Hence I just jumped into the Nexus Mod Manager boat, and it's easy to active/deactivate. It also asks you first if you want to update the mod to a new version.

Also you are (were? I dunno if it's changed) limited to like... six Workshop mods at once, and no more. You also couldn't change their load orders.

I'm on the list of people who found the hassle of installing SkyUI much smaller than the hassle of using the "it's fine" standard interface after about a minute of using it. RE: conversation choices, I always scroll down the options with the mouse wheel to make the choice I want be at the < arrow, and THEN click on it. But, there's a mod to try to fix the issue, apparently. Awesome, I'll have to give that mod a try.

That will be the most fun people have in the game. It's a downhill slide from creation.

I do like all the variable control of the body, that's like the only thing that actually matters in terms of differentiation of players. Face details aren't really visible unless you are zoomed in on a player and everyone wears the same gear eventually. The short guy with the pot belly and twig legs though, that's Jim!

So, uh, that's exactly the same as AoC character creation. Right down to the UI.

Clearly that's not the case. The triangles are on different sides of the screen, and muscular/thin are swapped!

Yep.
And I care just as little. All the character creation in the world matters little to me since it's always something done before you start making ingame choices about your character. CoH's awesome character creation system set the bar for me almost a decade ago. But it also highlighted that really fun experience wasn't something I could do again without rolling a new character. Which was and still is the MMO standard.
For all these games that pitch immersion, I'd like someone to put in a character system that changes over time, based on type of activity against percentage of /played or something. Am I a sloth-like crafter who spends most of his time buying/selling on the auction house? I'd probably not be a muscle bound Adonus, but instead some skinny merchant. Am I a warrior where I get all my buffs from fatty foods like cakes instead of fruits (thinking specifically GW2 type food for the moment)? I'm probably strong as an axe but with a bit of a belly.
I certainly wouldn't build a game around it. Shit, maybe it's not even appropriate for an MMO but rather something like a Skyrim. Whatever, I would just like it if character creation could become something more than painting a nice looking avatar and then quickly forgetting what they look like beyond the latest soon to be obsolete armor you just got.

Heh, unfortunately we run all the time inside MMO's (and most avatar games, Skyrim included), so that would account for enough exercise to keep in very good shape. Especially if you also consider the weight of equipment we carry around while running (multiple sets of armor, etc).
Though, pair your idea with more support for the roleplaying crowd (character background, public achievement updates, some sort of aging system, family system, combat scars, etc) and it would probably be acceptable. Especially if the non-roleplayers have cheap access to dyes, armor customization, a barber shop, and costumes/illusions that make them look like different races.

One of the Fable games did this. If you ate pies and meat you got fat. The more you leveled, the older you got (grey hair and gaunt face). It was pretty annoying -- you tune and tweak your look, then the game comes in behind you and changes it all.
I'm getting old all by myself, thanks. I don't need my diversions to reinforce the aging I see in the mirror and my friends!

I *think* Mabinogi does something like this. At least the vague bits I've heard about it indicate growing from age 10 to 25, and weight gain/loss being an issue.

I like how this thread has just turned into talking about the The Elder Scrolls online. As opposed to talking about ESO.

Reminds me that I bought all the DLC during the summer sale but have yet to play any of it.
I'm not downloading any of these fucking mods.

It appears invites may or may not be going out for a beta event that may or may not be this weekend.

Yep I may or may not have gotten the same email. I'll have to look in my Schrödinger's Inbox to see whether or not I may or may not have received an email. I'll also have to see if my Schrödinger's computer will actually install or not install the theoretical beta client this time around.

Yes. I got a beta invite, you got a beta invite, just about everyone got a beta invite. What's going on this thread?

So seeing as how I also may or may not have gotten a beta invite, I'm now jumping into this thread to see if this thing isn't a steaming pile that does/doesn't deserve space on my hard drive. What's the consensus? I'm not one of those "skyrim people" mind you.

Why are people keeping their invites "secret"? The invite doesn't have anything in it that says you can't mention it.

Oh damn, I just figured out that my beta invite was from back in September. I had missed that earlier weekend. Would have been nice to have been able to compare the state now to then. Anyways, if your beta invite was anything like mine, you get the invite e-mail and THEN you sign an NDA, so I'm not sure what all the pussyfooting on this page is about. Is this a forum where you can get banned for NDA breaks or is it just frowned upon? Because you sure are playing up the *wink wink* *nudge nudge* aspect of an invite to play what will likely be a hilarious release.

I think it depends on whether it is a (semi) serious developer or Brad McQuaid's/Richard Garriot's latest pile of fail. Serious stuff will be deleted, other things may be deleted,but may be kept depending on the amusement value.

Personally, I figure that unless you're trying to make this thread a place where a dev will feel comfortable posting (haha, look at any page), then it should be Fire-At-Will mode by default.
