Low-res textures (PC version). That's it. That's my only complaint. And that's pretty much fixable by the modding community, or even myself, for that matter :)

My complaint is the menus. I wish they were the same as Oblivion I don't know why but I liked Oblivion's.

The compass.

All that effort and promotion over removing everything possible from the screen for total immersion, and they stick that compass bar across the top. It drives me crazy. It's like a lock of hair falling down into my eyes, that I can never move out of the way. Irritating, and immersion spoiling. If only they enabled a toggle.

Of course, the only reason it irritates me so much is because it's one of only a few flaws in an otherwise perfect game IMHO, which makes it stand out that much more.

As an aside, I've also accidentally ate things while storing items, so I feel for whoever mentioned that. And I'm also not sure why some items stored are alphabetized, and others aren't, seemingly at random. It makes sorting through things a chore.

There is a way...you turn the opacity down within display, done! :)

My "complaint" is no weapon/armour degradation, that made things more challenging when you were about to enter into a big fight.

The game can be really unresponsive for me sometimes, in menus and when trying to do a shout or power attack the game just does not register a key until I do something else.

Whenever there is a large battle, your companions and allies will jump infront of shouts, spells, ect. In the battle of whiterun I think I killed more of my own than enemies.

Skyrim is my new favorite game of all time, but if I had to pick one thing that fails just a bit, and fails probably not even the right word, its the voice acting.

Dont get me wrong, its oceans above Oblivion, and universes above Morrowind, but you still do meet the same voice very very often. I refer mostly to the voice of the bards and pretty much every young advlt character it seems, and the kinda silly Nord voice that the guards use.

I think a lot of these complaints stem from people being too used to oblivion and it's ways.

The UI is something you'll just have to learn really, I think it works really well! There's certainly a lot worse out there.

Also, things about fetch quests and horses dying easily...surely that's what RPGs are about and the quests will surely get more varied as time goes on, I'm only level 7 but I've hardly had any fetch quests. About the horses, have you ever tried launching a horse down a 6ft drop? Well course it's going to die! It has you with your 300-odd weight on it landing onto solid ground in most cases = broken legs and death.

Seriously, there ARE some valid points but I think most of these "complaints" are just things we all need to get used to. Colour palette for one - the whole idea of the game is get across how rubbish people's lives are at the moment so of course it's going to be dull and grey. Besides, it's nice to have a new setting where things aren't bright and colourful.

Overall Skyrim is progress in the perfect direction in my opinion and it's really starting to prove the power of this generation's offerings.

actually I love the voice acting.

for starters it's very good, really helps with its atmosphere. Yes there is some repitition, but I honestly think Beth. has achieved the best they can with the voice acting without spending a massive fortune or sacrificing some other aspect of the game.

Wanted the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Ysgramor for my warrior.. Disappointed that the Companion's only guild armor is the Wolf Armor while the Thieves' Guild get the Nightingale Armor and the College of Winterhold gets the Archmage's Robes.

The entire magic system. Spells need a way to upgrade and be as potentially devastating as melee.

This and bad menu interface. Cannot access things easily and cannot see my character. Oblivions was better.

The map takes some getting used to.

Seriously, that's the only bad thing I can think of.

Some people like me seems to have bugged follower..
We do not have a follower but can not hire a new one because they all think we do have one.
I can not figure out how to find the ID of said person so I can try to disable them or kill them off to fix the issue.

Only complaint that i have is that when you travel with a companion and get on a horse they do not get a horse as well. i wouldnt mind if it was unrealistic and they just whipped one out as soon as i hopped on mine but its very annoying when you have to wait for them to catch up :banghead:

This is true, I'm incredibly nostalgic about Oblivion, and that's something that's keeping me back from really getting to love Skyrim with all my heart. Call me a bland, boring person, but I liked the cosmipolitan "generic fantasy" world of Cyrodiil, and I do miss it. But we're in Skyrim now, and I really want to love it as much as I do Oblivion so even though I have complaints about feel and colour pallete, I'll immerse myself into it as well as I can. I'll miss verdant, cosmipolitan Cyrodiil, but that's why I'll always keep my Oblivion disc handy.

If I had to pick only one thing to complain about, this would be it. Destruction magic doesn't scale for crap, especially on higher difficulty. Luckily, I have a feeling this will be fixed in short order with mods.

This needs to be fixed too. I hadnt even noticed as an Argonian.
