Love the glorious snow effects at winterhold.

Hate that bald heads are glitched (there's a gap between the back of the neck and the head, and the back of the head is incredibly low res).

2. Companions can't jump.

Actually, they can. I noticed this today in a cave. I had that dark elf mercenary with me, and the dungeon looped around to an edge where I fell off back into the starting room. She stands at the edge for a moment, and then hops down.

Anyways, Love: All the wildlife that just runs away, makes it feel like an actual forest.
Hate: That a giant punted me off a cliff right after my first solo dragon kill :(

Love, nearly everything ha, graphics, quests are brilliant.

Dislike, not being able to trade items for items like fallout when buying/selling, and that companions are soooo [censored] slow.

(I don't have the game yet)

LOVE
Weapon viewing

HATE
Limited weapon/armor materials (what happened to chittin?, chittin comes from mudcrabs)
smaller?, less tombs?
No flails (they could have added flails...I mean, you DO have a physic engine, so use it.)
Mudcrabs (I don't think that after after the years of Morrowind to Skyrim, mudcrabs evolved fast enought to get rid of their mandibles and grow 2 pincers)
Stamina instead of Fatigue (I meant, what the hell happened?, Fatigue is TES's Stamina)
Limited spells...no spell making and stuff
invicible weapons/armors
browsing interface (Morrowind was much more faster and easy)
They want to appeal to a dumb-nut casual gamer public (And I say dumb-nut, because even casual gamers don't like it when games are to easy and stuff)
No difficulty slider
Perks (they could have kept the normal attribute leveling perks system)
Level on the go. (Sleeping is F****** iconic to TES)

Haven't played? Don't write.
1. There is a difficulity slider.
2. Perks are more fun to be honest.
3. They didn't appeal it to a "dumb-nut casual gamer public", it's actually more mature game than Oblivion and even Morrowind.
4. Why the hell you want Fatigue instead of Stamina? IT'S THE SAME.
5. Why not Mudcrabs? I mean, you say sleeping is iconic to TES, but Mudcrabs aren't?
6. World isn't smaller, it might be on a map, but it feels actually bigger.
7. Limited weapon/armor materials? What?
8. You're a troll.

Love that I can run in a bethesda game
Hate that I can't jump when running

i want a duel wielding rogue with daggers who can fly around and just cause major havoc. attacking as i run and jump off walls and stuff lol. maybe i just havent become a good enough acrobat yet. The game is beautiful though. I just hope what I envision comes to fruition. A lot of jeckyl and hyde so far but I just started.

Awful is subjective. Short? Maybe. However, I like the College of Winterhold questline.

Love: a lot of things

Dislike: How unoptimized the PC UI is. I can get used to it, it's just... eh.

1. Ok, didn't know that, I thought I saw a difficulty choser.
2. Meh.
3. Well, it's true that companies want to appeal to that kind of casual gamers
4. Well, becasue...would you like Argonians to be called Reptilians? It's same thing, both are lizard-men.
5. I say the new mudcrabs evolved way to much.
6. Well, it's about the same size as Oblivion.
7. Visit UESP
8. I'm dead serious.

It appears the only "dumb-nut" is you, sir. There IS a difficulty slider in your game settings (master makes the game very challenging). Sleeping to level is tedious garbage. "much more faster," let's try that again. Does is really matter whether the word is "stamina" or "fatigue," they both work exactly the same; besides the fact that stamina represents your strength and vigor, whereas fatigue is only a measure of your "tiredness." How the hell do you come up with limited armor and materials? I've found plenty of materials and there's a good amount of armor variants. I'm beginning to think you're level 3 who's managed to cross 1 tomb. I've been in dungeons/tombs/caves/forts/temples, some of which took me 45 minutes to an hour to complete.

Alright, here I go.

I love the fact that the entire world feels much more alive than the previous games, going into an inn at night and hearing a bard sing a song around a fire is a great feeling.

I hate (well, it's more of a minor nitpick) that when you are dual wielding two weapons, the second weapon isn't shown to be sheathed. :(

I love the game

I hate that enemies won't go outside like they did in TES IV. Its back to Morrowind again I guess where enemies can't leave caves and forts etc.. :(

Love the variety of characters I will be able to play.

Hate (actually just dislike) the low quality of the shadows. This is really the only thing.

Love: The general awesomeness of the game. Dragons, smithing, improved magicka system, dual wielding, giants, epic introduction, etc...

Hate: For some reason, I always end up with an arrow sticking out of my head :verymad:

8. I'm dead serious.

1. Difficulity choser and slider is THE SAME. In Oblivion, you had actually 3 difficulities, but it was a slider.
2. I thought so too at the beginning. But it's really more fun.
3. Ok.
4. You're ridiculous...
5. Who says they evolved? Maybe it's another kind of Mudcrabs, Skyrim Mudcrabs? Man...
6. No, it's about bigger.
7. It's not limited, man.
8. So, play the game first before rating it.
9. You're dumb but it's ok :>.

LOVE
Sneaking. You can hide if enemies saw you.

HATE
You can't build relationship with women by telling them they look cute.
