A little disappointed but will be buying none the less. This will weed out the terrible F2P community of bratty loudmouthed children (Among other things) Skyrim undoubtedly brought in to the series. Any big releases do this though. It may keep my friends from playing it however which is a downside, as I'm the only diehard TES fan among them.
