ESO?

I know this is by no means a new game, but my H is really trying to talk me into playing with him. I'm reluctant to buy another copy in case I don't like it - I enjoy games with exploring and problem solving, but I really don't like anything with a lot of combat or fighting off bad guys.

We play a lot of 7 Days to Die together, but even there, I like that we can explore and craft and build, but the fighting is pretty secondary - you can mostly avoid or run away until you're far enough advanced that you can easily defend yourself.

If you're still playing, what's awesome about it? Can I play most of the game without having to fight a lot?

Did you play Skyrim?  I vastly prefer it to ESO.  It has all the crafting and exploring that I love without all the groups and fighting of ESO.  I find ESO a bit too complicated for my tastes.  I don't want to have to figure out how to get the hardened trait for heavy, medium and light armor.  ESO seems to really be designed to get players to build characters for PvP and PvE, and having a healer AND tank AND a DpS.
