The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review

I hate, hate, HATE the fact that I'll have to wait until December to get my hands on Skyrim...the worst part being once I finally have it, I'll be getting the third Saint's Row at the same time. Dammit, this December is going to be difficult...I want it now dammit! At least I still have New Vegas to keep me somewhat occupied.
The gist I've been getting from reviews is that its a really really good Bethesda game, but it does have that special "Bethesda charm". I wonder of the average player will be as forgiving about the bugs as the reviewers have been...
In any case, I love that most of the reviews I have read have described entirely different characters doing very different things. Good stuff.

Hmmm... my main problems with Oblivion were the lack of believable characters and a decent story, and my hopes that this had been fixed have just been dashed by this review. An open-world is great but I need to see my effect on that world, otherwise, NPCs really are just polygons and pixels and character development may as well take place on a spreadsheet.
Bethesda should remind themselves of Baldur's Gate: free, open play can co-exist with involving plotting and interesting characters.
I think I'll get Skyrim eventually, but later rather than sooner.

Is it wrong that when I saw the review, the first thing I thought was "Thank God, those damn Skyrim threads will FINALLY STOP." ?
If Bethesda makes an expansion pack the central character should be Mudcrap Merchant (praise be his name and vast amounts of wealth). And he should be a conflicted character, not necessarily even friendly towards you. Kinda like Ulysses or a drunk mudcrap. Which he is. Hmm... maybe he'd have to deal with his alcoholism too. And, like, Numidium? He could totally be trying to achieve something with the golem god. That would be awesome. Please Bethesda? Pretty please?
Oh, nice review. Game looks pretty cool. Prolly buying.

just 2 and a half hours to go...god i wish there was a way to trick steam into thinking i was in Australia...
He actually had some criticisms for the game, yet still gave it 5 stars? How does that make sense?

Anyways: Nice review. Hopefully this will be coming in the mail soon.
I can't wait much longer!
Don't apologise, that happened, these people need to be reminded of their previous fuck ups. Seriously, I wish I could rep posts on these forums =DZhukov said:
Ah, cheers for answering my question. It's not as bad as I thought it was then. I guess I'll need to learn to be pretty quick on my feet, and assuming the skill trees are similar to the ones in Oblivion, get the Acrobatics dodge roll as fast as I can.Ragsnstitches said:
