>Magic is broken
Well sure
>almost all spells have massive failure rates and the only way to get enough mana to cast anything other than cantrips is to play a high elf and load up on all the mana boosts you can.
I... don't think I can properly comment on how wrong this is.
Sure there are some crazy combatspells you don't ever have to bother with that you will need some crazy stats for, but that is far from the norm. (and they aren't even that good).

But yes, magic in TES games is broken, anything else new?

>Every battle is simply blocking, waiting for the AI to attack, and then attacking once and then blocking immediately afterwards. Rinse and repeat
Sure this works (if you are good at blocking, or have armor/hp), so I won't say it doesn't work.
I have never played like that though other than the time I chose the to play the tank warrior archtype.
You can dodge the attacks you know, by running a lot. You can jump a lot and use ranged attacks from behind obstacles. You can use lockdown spells or venoms such as paralysis.
And sure you can find that bland, and I won't say the gameplay is marvelous in anyway. But it sure is more than simply blocking, you can easily switch out the blocks for whatever other maneuver/move is viable.

>Story
Just play the side quests.
The most fun lies in exploring and finding out about and falling into all the other stuff that's going on, and resolving all of those quests.
And there are also some increadible easter eggs in the thiefs guild quests.

If you remove level scaling the game really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. If you can enjoy Elona or something, then you should be able to enjoy this as well.
But I do hope they somewhat reverts a few things back to more how it was in morrowind for tes5.
