I like the new interface and its features, I like many of the fixes, but the main problem is that they didn't just fix some bugs; they went beyond and started to brake things in attempt to make the game "more socialistic". A couple examples: 1. They nerfed the Golems Cave, because in their opinion it was "too cheesy" and broke the balance. What the point? There're still countless ways to quickly gain XP. 2. They tried to nerf and "balance" some mage and priest spells, but the result is even more pathetic. Now when you play a lawful evil mage and cast Find Familiar, you still get an imp with the ability to Polymorph Self, but when it transforms to a bear, it retains the original HP, and you find yourself with a bear, with a bear's strength and damage, which has something like 14 HP. Why even bother and make the stupid "fixes"? 3. They tried to "balance" mind control spells and the result is that now this spells are completely worthless. Mage's Domination, which supposedly do not give a chance to release (ingame's description, by the way), now works like a fist level Charm. Again, why the f*** even bother to do the "fixes"? 4. They consider a player to be an idiot, so now you can't kill many NPCs. Remember Morrowind were you could kill some character and brake the story line? This is the opposite: some characters are simply "immune to death", so you can hurt them, but at a certain point they just ignore your damage and wouldn't die. Again, this only brakes roleplay and makes the game look like a joke. 5. They nerfed pickpocketing, so now there's no point in jesters and "vanilla thieves" roleplaying. You simply cannot shoplift in 95% of shops. 6. Many other similar "socialistic fixes" which destroy several interesting play-styles. 7. In the same time, they didn't fix a lot of real issues. For example, Lycanthrope Island still looks half-finished, you can still throw fireballs into a fog of war, the AI and pathfinder seem to become even more stupid...
