The skyrim menus are in English, which is a massive upgrade from Oblivion.

Depends. You might be as easily star-struck as the already-enormous horde of unrelenting fanboys and fangirls. If so, you'll probably like it in spite of its massive flaws.

menus are annoying as fuck, it shouldn't be this hard to keybind items. annoying it wasn't tuned as much as it could be to a PC, but it's... functional.

combat's great, not sure what/why you're complaining about it. oversimplification argument is just whining and totally without merit. they removed... 5, 6 skills? (acrobatics/athletics, combined blunt/blade) - not sure why every 'IM AN OLD SKEWL GAMER K' fgt has to jump on the oversimplification bandwagon when something gets streamlined. Skill level up is pretty quick, mind you - and levels breeze by.

The low quality of zoomed in textures is stupid though, like, really amateur. Same with horse animations (WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED?) - Bethesda needs to stop letting their interns animate horses.

Azlema - if you enjoy RPGS in the open world vein (and liked Morrowind/Oblivion/FO3/New Vegas), you'll enjoy Skyrim. Well worth the box price.

I don't really understand how you can think the combat is great. They managed to kill hotkeys and force you to pause the fucking game when you want to swap spells or weapons. It's a travesty, and anyone who harps on about the combat has never played Dark Messiah or any other game with compelling first-person melee combat. Like, the combat in Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way, and Oblivion already wasn't great. There is zero skill involved. None. You cannot possibly be bad at it.

Boiling everything in character creation down to "pick one: steal, smash, or magic" isn't streamlining, it's dumbing-down. I don't care how you try to slice it, it's painfully obvious they're pandering to console gamers.

I'm mostly willing to overlook the egregious flaws because it's kind of fun in spite of itself. But it's nowhere near the "game of the decade" or anything like that. All those automatic 10/10 reviews and glowing testimonials are testament to the long, sad history of everyone sucking Bethesda's dick no matter how mediocre their actual output.

But hey, at least it's not as shit as Fallout 3.

You hotkey from the favourites menu thing. There's no pausing needed.

spent the past ~4 hours just exploring and dying. a lot. giants are fucking impossible to kill before they smash your face in :( also, getting lost in a snow storm was... really fun? my window was open as well and i had a freezing breeze blowing into my room, which helped the immersion, lol.

it was incredibly satisfying to boot the game up for the first time and see it say 'game set to ULTRA HIGH SETTINGS'.

But that looks like ass. Everything I've read basically states I could max it out on my old 7800 card which is a disgrace in 2011.

Technically it's my old 7800 card atm.

Remember that one time I tried running Witcher 2 on it?

Those were the best cutscenes without most ground features ever.

Spent the first few levels theiving it up, but now finding myself burning things to death.

Fuck it i'm starting again.

And i'm gonna spend 1 hour or more on character creation if i have to.

You know what annoys me the most about this game? There's this quest where you had to find a female redguard. Well that's nice, except half the Nords in this game are REALLY fucking tanned. Shouldn't these dudes be pale as fuck? Like aren't there issues in countries / cities far north and south of the equator not getting adequate sunlight etc?

This wouldn't bother me if the sun was out right now.

I didn't play yet but I downloaded it, never played any Fallout/Elder Scrolls so I didn't want to pay $70 to play an hour and hate it.

I'll buy it if I end up actually playing... but all I can think of is how fucking shitty/unresponsive the mouse was on the main menu. How can you let shit like that slide?
