I would play Skyrim even if it looked like Pacman. Good-looking graphics are nice to look at, but aren't necessary for gameplay that much.

If it looked like Pacman.... then I would only assume that the Bethesda creative team would design the most intriguing gameplay to ever appear in the history of games.... bc that's a very large trade =P

if they left it with oblivions graphics and spent the time fixing (not gutting) the "flaws", it would be titled 'ES VI Tamriel'. i would be infinitly more pleased than i am with skyrims "beauty". more content less graphics will always be longer and more enjoyable experience.
