I feel like I have enough playtime to form an opinion on Skyrim. BTW I'm playing on PC.

I've already played with 4 different characters: 1 stealth, 1 mage, 2 warriors. So I've experienced different playstyles

Here goes my opinions on the different aspects of the game:

1 - The much hated UI: It definetly felt clunky in the beginning but it took me no longer than 3 hours to get used to it. Now I barely use the mouse to navigate it and the WASD keys work as intended. Could be better but it's not game breaking at all.

2 - Different playstyles: As I mentioned I played different characters with very different playstyles and I felt powerful enough with each one of them. Of course I didn't spend anough time with them to find the minor bugs each "class" might have but they all felt viable and satisfying in their own way. I can't even say wich one is my favorite.

3 - The famous Radiant Story: Yes it exists. One point that comes to mind is Bleak Falls Barrow. There are 3 bandits in the dungeon entrance. If you go there with characters that have a ranged attack then one of the baddies will have a melee weapon and two of them will have bows. Go there with a character that have no ranged attacks and all the three bandits will be melee. That's the radiant story right there for you. They said the dungeons would change to best fit your character and not be too easy nor too difficult.

4 - Graphics: I'm playing on ultra and the only annoying things I've noticed are the jagged shadows and textures poping in the distance. I'm sure with some tweaking this might be fixed but I don't find them distracting enough to bother.

Overall: This game is a 9.5/10 for me and I'm a very satisfied customer who will probably spend extra money on DLCs as they come out.
