I myself think Skyrim has strayed so far from the TES legacy that it's an unplayable joke. I knew this long before release, and hence I did not buy the game. However, judging by the posts on this forum, it seems that a lot of people have similar opinions about the game, yet they bought it. And not only that, but they probably paid more than what they paid for Oblivion, seeing as though the release price for Skyrim was something like $60.
Talk about voting with your feet. You hate the game so much, you gave Bethesda full retail price on launch day. There is literally no possible way you could have better ensured that the TES games continue to get worse. And now you come here thinking you have the right to complain? I don't get it.
