Yeah, the more I think about it, something really feels "missing". I don't hate it, it would be fun for a little while... and yet. Usually I'm dying to get my hands on a new MMO, and I will get sucked in hard, and play as much as I can for the first week or two. After playing last night, it was like "OK, that was cool. Now what."
The thing I have to remind myself, is that I'm sometimes slow to get into RPGs in general. I had to just get through the first couple of hours in the Dragon Age games as well, and then I was hooked. I don't get hooked easily when I have no equipment and only one attack.
They've done some interesting things in ESO. I like the first person perspective, and the fact that they only bring up HUD elements when they're needed, to aid in immersion. But something is still missing.
EDIT: I thought the graphics looked OK for an MMO (they're always going to be slightly behind the curve compared to single player games). Which aspect felt dated? The interface design?
Something I'm hating though are the stupidly long login/loading times. They'll have to fix that, or it will kill their game. This is of course a stress-test weekend, but even at 9am it's spinning for minutes at a time?
