Playing Age of Conan. Not a big fan of MMOs but am really enjoying it. I plan to play it until around Christmas and then play Skyrim.
One of the things I like about it is the land of Cimmeria is very much like Skyrim, and it's very cool playing a Cimmerian. The landscapes look similar and the cultures look similar on the surface, although Skyrim has the norse influence and Cimmeria seems to have more of a celtic or gaelic influence.
It's a fun game, and it's perfectly fine to play it mostly alone. The only thing I don't like are the epic quests and dungeons that require a group. That would be fine, it is a multi player game after all but it is often very hard to find a group of similar level to play with. But last night I had a great time doing a dungeon with a small group. Just wish I could do that more often.
