Ok, you keep running into DB assassins. And?

I wish I had your luck, mine crashes at least once an hour, but thats probably due to all the mods I run.

Once in a while a troll...

I guess I just don't understand what this has to do with my original statement about hardcoe players.

Mine is the same. Much more stable than Oblivion, which was actually fairly stable for me. Only time it would crash is when I forgot to save for a long time.

Aside from stability, Skyrim also wins over Oblivion in content and gameplay .
