I actually think the game looks great for an MMO. It actually has more detailed graphics than I expected.
You must not have played many MMOs because I can list 10 that have superior graphics when playing TESO at max settings. But the graphics are just nitpicking, the gameplay itself is very meh, it gets slightly more difficult around level 10, but it's still not challenging. Skyrim is definitely more of a conquest and feels rewarding. TESO, not so much.

I'm still betting on it going FTP within a 6 month time.
They also had an NDA because the initial feedback was so bad from many players and they didn't want word of their mediocrity getting around before they launch the game.
Basically, unless you're a HUGE fan of the Elder Scrolls series and willing to overlook said mediocrity, you probably won't be billing to shell out 15 a month for this game. It's gonna go the way of Star Wars: The Old Republic. They're gonna sap as much money as possible in the first few months before they have to switch to an F2P+Cash Shop model to keep profit coming.
