My online experience was quite traumatic,
I gave my friend vampirism since he was interested in being a Dark Elf Vampire man with dragon powers.
He has since enter maxed stage vampirism to the point of being so monstrous looking, merchants refused to do business with him and he continued to feed on the local citizens and butcher livestock just because. He might not have been caught in the act, but being a freak can make you feel like an outlaw I guess.

The rest of the game is pretty aight, theres a lot to do even at base game for $20 (which includes the Morrowind Expansion for Free) and no necessary subscription payments just to earn the right to play the game you just bought (the Subsciption is for bonuses).
