The Elder Scrolls: Online. TES is easily my favorite game series and I'd absolutely love to soak up all the lore available in ESO.
But I just can't stand an MMO. I don't like seeing other people everywhere. I get that you can solo most of it.
It also just feels less focused on "live another life in another world".
Ive tried it a few times, and there's a lot that's intriguing about it story-wise, but I always end up putting it down pretty quickly. I'm hoping it clicks with me at some point.
What turned me off of ESO was the class system. I just wanted to be an orc warrior or rogue, not a "dragon knight" or "night blade." While I would normally applaud the creativity, it seems out of place in an mmo. When I'm the legendary world-saving hero in the single player games, I get normal skills. When I'm one face in the crowd, I get these grandiose titles and flamboyant costumes that everyone else gets. Seems backwards.
