Favorite thing...

I don't feel like I'm on a "track" railroaded through content areas/quests. Not sure if that makes sense...

I'm in no rush to level really, I hop on my horse (Diplomacy Quest Reward at level 10, so early), and just explore. Or go crafting (which is actually pretty interesting), or spend time reading the surprisingly well developed diplomacy stories (you play kind of a Collectible Card Game for diplomacy).

Heck, I'm even strangely addicted to harvesting resources... Its weird.

So favorite thing is the openness I guess, the fact that I am able to enjoy myself in much more than grinding or quests.
