The game has a lot of wonder and uniqueness to it. Something that I felt Oblivion lacked and what Morrowind had.

You are in a huge, amazing world. What you do in it is totally up to you. Although there is a story to the game, you can strike out at any objective you like and get lost in it. Become a farmer, a blacksmith, a warrior, a mage, an assassin or any mixture of them. Visiting the same place twice almost never offers the same results. I mean, I've visited Whiterun close to 100 times so far, and there is always something different about it - children running somewhere else, a new cove to explore, something to add to my house, or simply to earn some cash by developing my skills.

Personally, I love taking the quasi non-violent path of becoming an alchemy master. With smithing added, it adds a new area of the (peaceful) game to develop.

The game isn't perfect, but its darn close. I wish they kept Levitation and Jump spells from Morrowind with all of their game-breaking goodness. Given what Skyrim brings in terms of vertical depth, you'd think they would of allowed it. I could only imagine the fun becoming a demi-god that can jump from the Throat of the World to another mountain range in a single bound.

I didn't mean you, and I was just trying to balance some of the heat the OP got lol

Also, what are you doing here? shouldn't you be praying jom'a?

@bolded: First, LOLOLOLO

EDIT: Wait a minute! what are you doing here? That was posted around jom'a time 

Look on the bright side... At least it's Skyrim related stuff

I'm up to three game-breaking glitches so far. Two in one dungeon. Hooray!

So I was finishing up the side-quest which had me cleansing Meridia's temple of the corrupted shades and the necromancer (Who is tough as nails. He could kill me in three hits.) However, I finally killed him and went to claim the sword. Meridia takes you up to the heavens to speak to you, and then is supposed to drop you off at the entrance. However... when she dropped me, it was like I fell from 5,000 feet and died instantly.

So I had to do everything again (this time successfully sneaking behind and killing the Necromancer. Man, I love the 15x Dagger bonus). However, before I got the sword (and risked dying again), I decided to loot the corpses around for their gold (10 corpses with each one holding around 50 gold, so it was worth it!). So while I was looting, I "fell" through the floor and landed in the room outside the chamber where I fought everyone. But the door was now locked and I couldn't get back in. Time to load up a previous save!

So now I've killed the Necromancer 3 times, and this time I saved right afterwards. Then I successfully looted the bodies (saved again). And went to retrieve the sword. Died again. Retrieved the sword. Died. I kept falling to my death... 6 times to be exact... before she finally let me down correctly.

I haven't been so frustrated with a game in a long time. Thanks Skyrim!

EDIT: Let it be known that I'm very much enjoying this game... but I had to RAAAAAAAAAAAGE after these events.

This is my first post in months and I am reallly only posting to say this. Give the game a try. I think Oblivion was a steaming pile of shit, with barely any room for debate. Maybe it was the retarded characters, it was probably the leveling mobs, maybe i was in a bad mood every time I started, or it may have been the fact that every time I started i headed left to the arena and proceeded to use basic strafing FPS skills to win it from the get go. Whatever the case, the game fucking sucked.

Now, it may be because there has been jsut so much fucking shit games being rleased, and I haven't tried playing Oblivion since 2007 (and I am on a PC, I get all the badassery Oblivion on the PC got with its mods), so it's possible my standards have gotten so shot that I am glad a mediocre game is released and I think of it as good (this is actually VERY possible, I won't deny it). However I am thoroughly enjoying Skyrim. I also tried strafing and poking as before and it ended extremely disasterously for me. The story isn't good, but there is a very certain feeling of "badass" I get when I turn into a werewolf and proceed to rip bandits apart for shits and giggles. In fact, I like it so much I'm just about ready to pay money for the game, let that thought sink in.

Edit: Oh yeah the interface for this game is still a pile of shit, however at least now I can assign items to my number keys.

Edit 2: I fucking hate assassin's creed, and I too haven't even bothered with AC2 and on because it looks like the exact same damn game. However this case is different. I kinda liked Morrowind, absolutely abhorred Oblivion, and now I kinda like Skyrim, so I can't use the same logic here.

omg that music!! <3 <3

That second vid really takes me back... I used to play tons of PC games back in the day

You know what, I think I'm gonna try it out XD

I got an exam in a couple of days so not till then /sargent nerdy pants
