A lot of them are pretty "same-y," though. I believe they said they want more customization in a later patch.
Thanks, and yeah, it is a bit same-y. Luckily you can mix and match.

How is the quest dialogue and personality of the NPC's? I felt like in beta, like in the normal Elder Scrolls, that most of the quests seem to deal with betrayal, lies, deceit, and backstabbing.

Alright ESO megathread, I require thy help! Which one of the three should be my adopted look? I just can't decide!
Link to IMGUR!
Patch 1.2.3 notes up (very big, so not going to link it here)
A lot of buffs for bows and Nightblades, and I am sure that will get a lot of attention, but…
They added the interior lighting detail!!!!!!! Woot!!!!
And here I am stuck at work. :-(
I was subbed and playing for a while, but can't seem to get back in. I dunno, something about the combat system couldn't hold me. Bows were just weird.
Middle one, I think. Bottom one would be ok if the skirt didn't look like a hessian sack.
Most if it is along those lines. A very, very common quest theme is having to make some life-or-death decision for an NPC. I guess they're meant to be all serious and dramatic, but I think it's overused. It starts to feel like the NPCs couldn't decide what to have for breakfast if left to their own devices.How is the quest dialogue and personality of the NPC's?

Personality-wise, I found very few NPCs to be actually likeable. Most seem to fall into one of two categories: either smug bastard, or clueless idiot. I've only really seen the Aldmeri zones, for reference.
Voice acting is always hit and miss, but I think it's better here than in most MMOs.
I can actually agree with this for the most part.
In the Aldmeri Dominion zones you find a lot of stereotypes; like the "Elitist / Xenophobic" Altmer, or the hard-core Green Pact Bosmer.
For the Khajiit you get plenty of shady ones, but not as often as I'd have imagined at first. Many of the Khajiit are quite humble and nice.
I find generally, though, that Elder Scroll Online feels very serious, and for once I find this actually nice. We got enough "silliness" in most other Fantasy-MMOs, so... not sure how to say this, but I guess it's a welcomed change to have a serious setting for once, even though (as 7seti mentioned) it's sometimes almost a bit over the top.
Maybe they tried too hard?
Even so, at the bottom line, the setting, dialogues and stories are engaging and good enough (compared to other Fantasy MMOs).
Somehow the Elder Scrolls Online setting feels more "mature" than WoW (almost too goofy here and there) or Guild Wars 2 (which has, despite the dire story around Zhaitan and the Elder Dragons, a happy-rainbow feel to it).
Not saying I dislike WoW or Guild Wars 2, by the way; I love those two MMOs, too!
Just in comparsion, ESO feels more serious and mature.

I don't know if the bugs have been fixed. I literally tried playing for an entire month and legitimately could not play due to bugs. I contacted them and asked if they can give me any amount of game time that I can apply at a later date when all these bugs are addressed. They said, and I quote: "If you don't like our game, there is the unsubscribe button.". I really just wanted to play the game but after that response I got a fucking refund.
Does anyone have any pics of the new lighting effects? I really am curious if they look as amazing as they do in the previews. (And I won't be online for another 4 hours.)
I don't expect the eu to be back till tommorow 12:00-14:00 either then. Shiiit, a well atleast I can play another game then. (or stay up late tonight hmm hmm)
Was about to link the preview they showed but lol, you probably saw them.
For those you haven't yet though (Edit: dang you mmo-c and you're lack of collapsable spoiler tags)
