Well glad for you that you prefer crappy products, as long it sellls a lot...
Skyrim is not bad, but not very good either, still quite more enjoyable than oblivion.
Xonsoles are a definitive restriction., and aneway the company has already confessed they arent up totoday standart PC programming.

I have had one real glitch which somehow by unorthodox means I fixed so no. The few times I have frame rate issues it never lasts.

I am happy. I do not however dismiss there needs to be fixes.

Yes.


For A Bethesda game, I have had only one crash that I can recall, and the only bugs I did have were on the hiccup level and a simple reload resolved them.


Smoothest ride Beth made yet.

My game runs perfectly and ultra settings. My only complaint is for the UI and then combat could also be a bit more interesting. 99/100.

Are you experiencing frequent crashing with the vanilla game?

In my case I've logged well over 100 hours so far and the game has only crashed three times. Twice when attempting to take a screenshot and once in the middle of a massive battle with multiple spell casters.

I'm not using any mods or the LAA patch and the only .ini tweak I used was the one to increase grass draw distance.

If he has crashes without the LAA patch, it's probably because he's using more memory-intensive settings.

My computer is fairly old (I actually last upgraded it around when Oblivion was still relatively new, since I remember how I could finally crank some Oblivion settings up a little), so I have to keep my settings fairly low, but if that keeps my memory usage down, as well, it ultimately helps.

Still, I turn grass off by default since Oblivion - that grass was impossible to see over when I stealthed, but enemies could see me just fine, it slowed down my older system when I hadn't upgraded, and it makes it harder to find ingredient plants. Forget grass!

I agree with you entirely. Eventually all games will go console, save the few big boys that corner their own markets. Zenimax Online Studios keeps hopes up for something TES related... but it's doubtful.

However, unlike some of the entitlement crowd that doesn't accept the trend; I accept that every TES game that I get to mod and enjoy ultra high graphics, is a gift. A privilege, not a right. Buggy or not... I feel this game is better than anything else RPG related on the retail market right now.

I'd still play TES on consoles, if that's all it was available for. That goes in part of being an Elder Scrolls Fan.

Eventually, when I end up having to play it on the Xbox 1440/2880/20XX, like how I did Morrowind at first, I'll think of it as another game purchase, not a gift. That doesn't mean I'll like TES any less; it will just mean that it won't as much longevity for me.

Bear in mind that I still play "Plain Ole' Morrowind" a few times a month, not out of nostalgia.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. Yes there are a lot bugs, but you've got to remember this is a big game. This is the first Elder Scroll game to run smooth on high right out of the box.

as a video game, i am happy with it. its a great game that will keep me busy for about 100 hours, with dlc/mods bumping it up depending on how good they are.

as a TES game, im VERY unhappy. i enjoy the complexity that oblivion brought. it was detailed, dense and fun. it didnt need flashy constellations for stats. it had menu's and drop downs. it was as simple as it gets and it worked well. i play PC games for a reason. if i wanted a console port, id buy a console.

beth sold out the pc gamers and went after the console gamers instead. idont blame them for wanting more money but i am a bit disappointed. this wil definitely make me think twice next time i buy a TES game.

Yes. It's a GOTY and lived up to all my expectations. You have to be a newbie to have not seen the negatives coming.

I voted yes, because after some community fixes the game works and plays great for the most part. I'm a little annoyed that some of the old issues from previous games haven't been completely ironed out like you'd think they would have been, but if they can't manage it in 10 years an extra couple months won't fix anything anyway. For the most part the game is very enjoyable though.

No, definitely not.

I have plenty of reasons why, but I feel like I have ranted and raved enough. This game was the successful failure for me.

*At least in it's current state. So much for those "squishing those bugs" and being "better at it" or those "on the fly" fixes. Yup, svckered again.

Nope, speaking as a console gamer, Xbox360, there are a couple of bugs still. Or is Running Underwater normal for Tamrielians?

No, because I'm still waiting on the Creation Kit.

Other than that, absolutely amazing game. First time since the New Year I've been into a game, and it's on its way to becoming an all time favorite.

Absolutely. I love perks over major/minor skills and as much content as I have I know more is coming.

I've experienced very few bugs. None of them I was able to recreate.

I base the value of a game purchase on the hours I get from it. Generally speaking, 30 hours is a good RPG. I've already passed this mark and I'm just getting started. So, yea, Skyrim is my best purchase this year. I'm completely satisfied. I can't wait to start messing with the creation kit. That's like having another game in itself!

I've experienced few glitches and dispite a few glaring signs that it was a console port, I've enjoyed 73 hours of Skyrim so far. Plus, we are 11 days out from release, they have only released one small patch, and the next huge one is only a week away. I'll wait for that before getting all riles up and pissed about the game. They know they messed up in some areas, and they are aiming to fix it. I'm going to sit patiently while they do so.

I have no complaints at all about the PC version. I don't think I've had a single actual bug crop up in my game. I got stuck in the mountains once, early on, but I just reloaded, and Skyrim doesn't like it if I hit a certain peripheral button on the keyboard while it's running and requires closing the program and restarting it, but Oblivion was the same way. I've dialed the graphics all the way up and they look fantastic to me. No complaints about the game at all. A couple suggestions for changes for the future - or maybe even for mods or future games - but no complaints. Not about the graphics, not about stability, not about the interface - none of it. It's a tossup whether Skyrim or Arkham City is the best game of 2011 in my opinion.

Best PC game to come out in the last few years. Bugs have been minor and the UI is a mild annoyance that I know will get fixed with mods.

Game of the years hands down.

Possibly my all time favorite game.

This.

I'm over 60 hours in and still having a great time experiencing new content constantly. The game is epic, I'd play it with chopsticks taped to my fingers if I had to. The interface is fine, if you can't figure that out then you are mentally handicapped. What do you want, a big clumsy Oblivion interface that lags like hell when you open it? There are keyboard shortcuts for every page on the menu. Click i for inventory and its right there. Not a big deal at all. The game is better than Oblivion in nearly every way and Oblivion soaked up 1000's of hours with mods. Sure there are a few things that annoy me but not the interface, I find it an improvement to Oblivions, aside from you can't see your avatar. I don't miss the icons and lag at all, nor the clumsy layout of tabs and endless scrolling.

No not really. The core of the game is absolutely great but quite a few bugs should have been fixed on release day. I expect to be satisfied after upcoming patch.

I voted yes.

I'm not thrilled with the UI, but I can live with it until a mod comes out that changes it.
There are a few areas where it looks like the textures didn't load correctly (guards in purple uniforms, purple tents, a blue tree (that may have been intentional, didnt hang around to find out)). But that's something I'd expect with any new game.
I've only played 35 hours as of now, in that time I've only had 2 CTDs. Even those weren't to big of an issue since I save about every five minutes without even thinking about it.

There are some things I'd like to see changed in the game. Just a few minor tweaks at this point. But none of those have anything to do with which platform the game is on. If I had bought the game for my xBox and not the PC I'd still want those changes.


So overall I'm very happy with my purchase and see myself playing this game for several years to come.

yes, but that does not mean that I don't think Bethesda needs to do a better job patching it so that the mouse actually works well with the interface... and this is coming from someone who never complains about interface problems. When I select a particular type of text it should select it and not skip over it. When I want to select Misc. it shouldn't back out of my inventory, etc.
