I've put 7 and a half hours in and it's entirely living up to expectations so far. The world is visually very beautiful and just begs to be explored, and the combat is a lot of fun. I love the kill animations, some of them are particularly brutal. I've mostly been spending my time doing minor side quests, exploring the area and hunting animals for pelts to make armour. Also, the dungeons really do seem quite unique so far, everyone looking visually different from the last (although I'm still early in) and with a fair amount of hidden loot to be found. It's been a ton of fun so far and I've really got that good old Elder Scrolls vibe of wanting to see and explore everything, plus any misgivings I had about stuff like the recharging health seem unfounded as the gameplay seems well balanced, with a fair amount of challenge.
