Looks like the hype was merited.

This is my prediction for Skyrim's scores:

Todd Howard: The scores all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most game reviewers only score up to ten?
Todd Howard: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean Skyrim is better? Is it any better?
Todd Howard: Well, it's one better, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most great games, you know, will score ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on all criteria. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Todd Howard: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Todd Howard: Eleven. Exactly. One better.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten better and make ten be the top score and make that a little better?
Todd Howard: [pause] Skyrim scored eleven.

You had me laughing at 11.. I even had Nigels Tuffnells slightly gormless look in my head.

+1 for Stonehenge.

I'm hopeful. Sensing a lot of 9.5s. Anyone else?

Maybe there is a good reason we won't be seeing anyone playing percussion in taverns?

Yep, almost assuredly because of bugs, and maybe outdated (But still improved) animations/AI.

I'm sure it'll get some 10's more accurately, 5/5's from media that uses 5 star ratings. (The Escapist, G4)

GI's review wasn't in their mag (Digital) so it's going to be released with all the other ones on Friday.

I'd predict a 9.5 from Gamespot, IGN and GameInformer.

Yeah. Mostly 9.5s. Some 10.0s, a few 9.0s, and a couple of 8.5s.

Yeah. Mostly 9.5s. Some 10.0s, a few 9.0s, and a couple of 8.5s.

Exactly this. Wish the reviewers would have had patch 1.1 to work with before they had to review it, as I'm sure the related bugs, etc, affected the score. I'm sure 1.1 will address many of the bugs/issues the reviewers had.

When I worked at EA, we had to submit the final game about 2 months prior to actual release. Then, we had to promise Microsoft a day one patch to address the issues they brought up. Mostly likely this same process happens with all games.

What I'm saying is, 1.1 should address a lot of reviewer gripes.
