My absolute favourite MMO, it doesn't require a subscription, and has horizontal progression systems so your gear never really gets outdated (especially if you go for legendary gear), so I feel like the game never punishes me for taking a break from it, which in turn makes me feel like I'm playing it for fun, not because of sunk cost fallacy. I find the narrative gets compelling if you can make it past the first 6 or so chapters of the base story, once it really starts getting into the Elder Dragon stuff. The core gameplay I find more enjoyable than other MMOs as well, as it's a bit more action oriented with less total skills to worry about at once, and more mechanics like dodging. Highly recommend if you're after a game to sink a bunch of time into.
