I guess they did something right

So I've been reading the forums and based on people's feedback, it looks like Bethesda did exactly what they set out to do: Make an open world game that gives you, the player, choice.

The evidence I would site is that there are posts about how hard it is, how easy it is, how great level scaling is, and how horrible the level scaling is.

Only in a game as open as this one could there be so much of a perfect balance of opinions. Clearly, they got it right. If it were too hard, people would fairly universally agree, it's too hard. If it were too easy, again, all the posts would complain that it's too easy. Instead, people are making different decisions as they play the game and finding differing results... just as I would expect from this sort of game. I'm quite pleased with their work and they should be proud :)

I think they did almost everything right, most of it are huge improvements from their previous games. The only thing I'm disappointed in is the UI, and I didn't even expect much from it to begin with.

More than 3.4 million units sold in 2 days (not including the digital sales). That's a lot of people to satisfy and it's impossible to satisfy them all.

I was very disappointed with the UI. They clearly prefer consoles, for some reason.

As far as the rest of it goes, the game is more than worth the price tag.
