As a first time Elder Scrolls player and someone who's not a huge fan of RPGs, Skyrim has been a pleasantly surprising experience. The game definitely bombards you with compelling quests, so you're never standing around.
The game really doesn't tell you much about how the controls work, which is fine if you've already played Elder Scrolls games. It just gives you the basics at the beginning and lets you stumble around until you figure out things on your own. I'm around 8 hours in and I've finally grown comfortable with how the game works. I'm not a huuuge fan of the combat system either... just seems like it could be a smoother experience, but I'm getting better at it.
I've encountered a couple of glitches here and there, some funny (a wolf kills a skeever and sends him flying 50 feet in the air
) some really annoying (that guy you save from the spider in the first dungeon disappeared when he died, so I didn't know I needed the gold hand until I got to the door...)
But other than that... the world is incredible, and you can tell that Bethesda put their hearts in this game (it shows). Skyrim is very impressive thus far, and I'm always wanting to go back and play a little more. I guess I'm a fan. ^_^
