It's a question of your budgeting vs. your monthly income, OP. The $15 per month in sub fee won't even come close to touching my bottom line each month, so I'm getting it. I love the world TES is built in, I love the deep RP that the series brings, and the adventures and Quests in the series are second to none. I know for a fact that Zenimax has upheld Bethesda's quality in these aspects, so that was enough to convince me that this will be a great purchase. Not to mention, my beloved Dunmer are nigh perfectly in line with the Lore in the game (this was a huge selling point for me). Ultimately the choice is whether or not that sub fee is going to really make a difference in you posket book, or if your just holding out due to an over-taxed sense of principal. Personally, I'll be in Tamriel come next year.
