Reading through these forums, one can clearly see two kinds of players in Skyrim.

Half are people who enjoy role playing the RPG, enjoying the stoty, doing the quests, exploring the world. Some of those guys are complaining the game is too shallow and designed for kids, not even close to Morrowind complexity.
The other half are people who enjoy creating their character to destroy the enemies and discover the best possible build. Some of those complain the game is imbalanced, too easy to exploit, and become too easy for their ultimate toons.

Both have good arguments. And the truth is that Bethesta tried to make a game to please everyone, and of course because of that ended up leaving some flaws in every aspect. But the game overall is great. Console users will have to live with that, but for PC users the vanilla Skyrim is an amazing base for future upgrades. I can easily predict a modded version with no fast travel, real food necessity, etc. While another mod will add restricted crafting and spell scale to make the game less exploitable. And so on.

Just want to say that the potential is just huge..

Yes but when trying to please everyone you end up pleasing no one and losing Ur biggest fans (best friends).

Yes, I partially agree
That's the risk in making such a huge game.

LOL, you new to pc gaming? Read every single internet game forum and it's a whine fest. Have you ever played WOW? They presently have 10 million subs but yet if you read any of their class forums you would think its the worst MMO in history and no one plays it.

One of the best "Party" games, Dragon Age Origins a month into release had the same vibe as Skyrim on the Bioware forums. There were many whiners crying the npcs talked too much, yada yada yada.

It is what it is....

Somewhat off topic, but Dragon Age: Origins had a lot of complaints because it had character-breaking bugs that Bioware failed to fix even months after release.

Sorry but their "best friends" aren't going to buy 7 million copies at $60 each.
Their "best friends" buy one copy and play it for months.
Everyone else buys it, plays it for a few weeks and moves onto the next "highly anticipated game" G4TV tells them to buy.
Video games are disposable to the general masses.

That's what I'm talking about. There is no way to please everyone. My point is that, even with all complaints, Skyrim has a pretty strong base, and thanks to the creation kit PC users will be able to choose exactly the game they want to play. And that is promising.

When ever you make a follow up game your not going to please every fan from the previous one.

People complain ALL OF THE TIME. Its a fact. Its human nature. No one is ever satisfied.

What matters? What you think of the game. If you like or love or hate it, that is your opinion, and to you...its the only one that should count.

Personally. I played Morrowind and Oblivion. Sure, all on the console, but I feel that Skyrim gives you limitless freedom. Doesn't matter the platform. If you find you're constrained in your classes and in the game in general...you're doing it wrong. That or you're just short sighted...
