I just have to say that this game has blown me away at every turn. I have put in 31 hours already. I am a lvl 23 Nord duel wielding warrior class, I only use heal magic because I really want to discipline myself and go straight warrior, it is so easy to go off a path with so many skill choices but anyways..

I may not be a hardcoe TES player or the type to pick apart a game based on the genre it's in. I have noticed that the RPG fan base are VERY particular in the games they play and the features they like.

All I have to say is that Beth seriously defined this genre with Skyrim and proved that the consoles can produce awe inspired beefy games. I have played this game on my 60 inch LED in my living room and the graphics look better than on my 32 inch gaming tv, seriously this is the best looking game I have played in a long time. I know there are some funky textures especially on the animals and charater models but this game is about the world and I have stopped countless times and wished I had a camera to take pics. UNREAL beauty. I could wander this world for months and still be shocked.

There has been some controversy with scaling and balance. I love it. I have been dungeon diving from the start. I mentioned I am a lvl 23 yet only have done 8 quests and a handful of objectives because the dungeons give me a challenge and are fun. I have done them all over the map, some were really hard and took me a few hours and some were easier..scaling helped keep them fun and NOT boring.

Anyways I just thought I would post a general "I am loving this world and never want to leave post" instead of all of these "fix this, and balance type posts I have been seeing lately.

Whew, I started to think i was all alone. I'm to busy having fun with Skyrim to notice all of the little things that some people whine over, and I certainly haven't come across any game-breaking problems.
