Smithing and enchanting

even though combined they can get over-powered I like the implementation overall.

I like the fact that the game can still surprise me after 200 hours.

My favorite thing is, definately, the natural environment. Not the the built enviornment, just the natural one. It's clear they put a lot of time and effort into it and I was impressed when I first went swimming and got caught in the current. Sometimes, when a thunderstorm rolls in, I enjoy just sitting there and watching it all.

Yeah, I love that, I have like 5 Characters all going different ways in the story/Different quests/play styles, There are so many things I have yet to see, its amazing that a game can hold as much replay value as Skyrim.

Well the character creation was improved, that was nice.

The environment is well done and I find Ulfric damn sixy.


That's about all I can think of ATM.

The artistry is fantastic. Not just the landscaping, but the detailing of buildings, clutter items, weapons and armor. The cities are actually quite interesting as well with many unique buidlings instead of mostly the same building model pasted a dozen times which was common in previous titles like Morrowind and Oblivion.

I'm very pleased with most aspects of the game, it's really fantastic :) Choosing my favourite aspect is difficult.

I going to say the politics of the world. The Civil War and presence ofthe Thalmor just makes it so interesting!

Being nervous entering a new area (cave/fort/dungeon).

Knowing that I might be in way over my head. That is a thrill that made Morrowind amazing, and was sadly missing in Oblivion.

Skyrim is a great game, I wish I had more time to play.

How I can mine for ore, smith it into armor, and make tons of money off of my own hard work. Nothing more honest than that.... lol i literally have a game where I've decided that I am retired and i do nothing but mine and smith my days away

The immersion of the game is my favorite thing. I talk back to npc's and swear at those that are nasty. I can't remember the last time I got that entrenched in a game. :biggrin:

Everything, its my first tes game, bought it on a whim and am yet to be let down by it. Put hundreds of hours in and I am still finding myself staring at at the scenery trying to soak everything in.

I just found a group of hunters relaxing in a hot spring, It was really actually humorous and I love that Bethesda adds stuff like that into their games, That and even though the random banter from people is somewhat repetitive, most of it makes me crack a smile anyway :D I do miss "STOP RIGHT THERE YOU CRIMINAL SCUM!" though, Haha

The atmosphere of the game is pretty interesting. I feel like I'm walking through a Bob Ross painting.

Ok, well, everyone here seems to be complaining about things the see WRONG with Skyrim, So, I want to know, What does everyone LOVE about this epic game?

Please dont post anything negative about skyrim. :banana:

You love `everything`? Hmm...ok. No one loves everything.

1. I like the way skeletons can sit on thrones and come to life. That always looks creepy.
2. I like the way undead have to step out of coffins. that`s creepy too.
3. I`m beginning to see more of this `radiant` random missions thing and slowly appreciating how it adds diversity to some quests.
4. I like the way the war between the Stormcloaks and the imperials actually affects places and forts you visit.
5. Love the multiple random mini quests and people you bump into while trekking on foot overland. there`s always something new.
6. Bandits always seem to have something new to talk about in dungeons if you sneak and listen.
7. I like how the world is still active while talking to someone. We were attacked by a Dragon while I was talking to a guard!
8. I like the lockpicking, feels real, though it should reflect character skill, not player skill.
9. I like the bear. It just feels realistic, especially its roar.
10. dragons are well done in my view, but need to be 25-50% tougher.
11. Weather effects are great. Blizzards remind me of the blight of Morrowind.
12. I like how Followers say different things when in or near interesting places.
13. Rivers and waterfalls are close to very realistic. I enjoy swimming down them! really, i do.

That`ll do for now.

Theres not a single thing about Skyrim that I dislike, except that it took anyone this long to make a game as amazing as skyrim. :biggrin:

it's the most bug free & reliable Bethesda game yet, at least for me.
The day/night cycles & weather are very impressive as well.

Careful though, The OP is waving a dangerous axe of whiner banishment about.

I just love it almost more than I can say. One of my most favorite things is dungeon crawling. I go from one to another just a happy Dovahkiin. There are so many different ways to do things that I know I'll be playing for years, even the vanilla game, PLUS we still have DLC coming? oh wow, it's just awesome and the last year I spent in these forums waiting and waiting was so worth it. Tonight I'm on a hunt for
