*MAN* am I glad I didn't buy Skyrim at release. (please add congratulations here)
I always buy everything day 0 and have been playing TES forever. However, I resisted this most recent launch. Looks like I made the right decision.
First off, its ported from the ancient relics that are the current generation of consoles... I have more processing power in my BIOS chip, I believe. Then there's the real complaints: Horrendous textures, even worse shadows, hundreds of bugs (see the compiled forum buglist post), joke of a PC interface that borders on unusable, Directx9 , 2gb of usage even tho they recommend for 4gb in the specs. Then there's the stealth patch that screwed the game up for many paying consumers. Now the latest debacle, patch 1.2, that basically does nothing (for PC users, since that's what I am talking about here) and creates new problems. What a freaking joke.
