Ive played about 6 hours so far. To early to call for sure, but so far this is loking like the number 1 game of the generation. So far its unbelievably good. No game is this expansive. In fact I looked at the river and there wa salmon jumping upstream. NO GAME HAS THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL.

Even Forza 4 cant bring me away right now. Im glued.

Glad to hear you are abouty to nominate Skyrim to the game of the generation! Personally I haven't played enough to judge that far but so far it's been fantastic.

Slight disappointment during the first hour actually (intro was epic but I got a big Call of Duty wibe from the linenarity and hard scripting and direction, but luckily that was only during the introduction. (FYI Todd Howard is a big fan of Modern Warfare, eek!) The feel of the world is like Oblivion once you get past the introduction.

Partially I agree with Mummelman about dumbing down. I want deep RPGs, so dumbing down skills/stats is a stupid thing. That can be managed with mods though (although Im playing on PS3 now).

But I actually like that they removed athletics and acrobatics very very much as those skills were far too powerful, especially being able to run away from enemies so easily.


That is something I haven't considered yet, the modding community for TES games is massive and very good. I can imagine Skyrim becoming a truly great title with mods. That's the best part about PC gaming!
