Hows the alternate reality of skyrim treating you so far?

Very good game. I give it a 10. What type of character do you have? Race? Skills? How did your character end up on the chopping block? Married yet? On a guild? Are you a tank or a stealthy assassin? Both!?!? :) Tell me. I'm deeply interested. Some of your build may inspire me four my next character.

Its fun, and runs faster and looks better than Oblivion. Oblivion had more places to offer and variety. Especially with FCOM. Can't wait for mods for Skyrim :)

Best game I've ever played.

I raised doubts about combat, gameplay, and story -- I was wrong. Everything is fantastic. The graphics are outstanding, the gameplay is outstanding, the level of polish is not only a new standard for Bethesda games, but for games in general.

My gripes:
Character creation is limited and stripped down, it needs to be much larger and allow room for creativity.

Lots of pop-in

Bald heads are glitched and low res. There's this weird gap where the head connects to the neck -- I hope this is fixed soon.

I've spotted 2 game breaking exploits so far. One allows you to train archery for free, effectively maxing out your archery as soon as you can get enough coin to pay for the first five lessons. The other is a person who doesn't react when you hit them, you can just level level and level your weapon skills.

Some quests don't take account of possible options. For instance, I spoke with a man about getting rid of a jester that's been pestering him to fix his wagon wheel. After going through some dialogue options, I decide to not come to a conclusion and speak to the jester himself. The Jester asks me to speak to the man on his behalf (the man I had previously spoke to), I return to the man with a new introduction line and he says, "Oh, the jester, you've heard of him..." As if our previous conversation never happened at all.



It's a rough masterpiece. All the flaws are a drop in the ocean, too insignificant to effect the overall quality of the game (well, those exploits are pretty bad, I'll just try not to use them).

Awesome game, lovin it. lvl 8 at the moment and just wondering around exploring. One problem I have with Skyrim though is that it is ruining my life, I was suppose to be studying this weekend and now I feel I've failed my unit standard. lol lack of self control FTL.

It's not treating me well :cryvaultboy:
First, my beloved empire wanted to execute me. Then a dragon. When I was finally on my way to Riverwood, I was killed by wolves. Then, by a bandit. I'm a wimp :confused:

Seriously, everything looks REALLY great so far :celebration: but the interface is the worst I have ever seen in a game. Ever.
