Why would anyone assume id tech 5 would work well for this title? Megataxtures?
I thought it was designed with open world in mind?

I have to say, i think i like the guilds better in Morrowind and Oblivion. There's just no sense of progression here. I cleared both the Thieves guild and the Companions, but both were like "Oh you are new here!? Go prove your worthines!" then righ after, go do 2 or 3 quests before it's over :(

I haven't really done any yet other than the initiation quest for the Thieves guild and the thing that you do before The Dark Brotherhood.

I kind of have double feelings regarding this game;
I do really enjoy playing it, but it's so inconsistent on so many levels.

Graphics;
First off I'm playing this game in 1920x1200, with all settings on the highest setting possible.
Textures look horrible and animations are still as stiff as all the previous editions of Elder Scroll games. I'm also disappointed with stuff they had shown in the trailers like the map (looks like shit and doesn't work as good as a normal 2d map) and how the items look in the inventory (I remember seeing a highly detailed piece of horker meat in one of the trailers), instead of the highly detailed items they all seem pretty low res to me..

BUT the thing that really impresses me is the amazing environments (most of the vista's are amazing, as are the forests and the snowy mountain area's) and most of the locations are dripping with atmosphere.. I also like that they have more varied dungeons this time(And thankfully they're not all pitch black).

GUI;
Seriously this was clearly designed for consoles. The favorites menu is just crappy and gets too long, too quick. The inventory is just a pile of shit, whoever came up with that needs to get the boot asap, because most of us on here could do a better job. I do like the skills menu but that's more regarding the looks than the usability.

Gameplay;
Well they obviously haven't changed a lot from oblivion (except for some of the slow-mo finishing moves and some combo's). I just hope they will incorporate some weapon feedback next time. That's still something that's missing.

I know I sound overly negative, but I still do enjoy this game for what it is! At least there's more than enough locations and quests to keep me busy for a LONG time...

So 25hrs of my life has been whittled away in the world of Skyrim, and i'm loving every min of it, yes it has its bugs and little quirks, but it's sheer breadth and interesting world to be explored has me hooked to the point that even when i'm not playing, i'm thinking about playing..., this game has my GOTY vote for sure!!

Is there a way to check your playtime? I'm wondering/dreading how much time I've spent in Skyrim so far.

Nothing wrong with pointing out actual flaws. Better to recognize them and still enjoy the game than to go down on your knees and take it full in the face like some other people around here ;)

There are three numbers separated by periods. Are they hours, minutes, and seconds?

True, for me it's the first time i have just gone out and explored, letting the main story take a backseat, i find it such an amazing world to just go out and explore and have fun in.

Yep that's why this game can't be GOTY for me. It's a superb RPG, but because of the flaws, the Witcher 2 and Dark Souls are definitely better for me this year....

Yeah the exploring side is megafun!, i did not expect to enjoy this game so much, as i like my RPG's to be full of cutscenes driving the story, but this game has me really hooked, can't to get tonight and play some more.

That's pretty refreshing. There's way too much hyperbole bullshit surrounding this game. High five.

Let's just hope people understand this isn't bitching just to irritate others. I find these legitimate issues I have with the game and although I think this game is awesome and I'm having a great time, it's not going to be GOTY material for me...
