I'm an avid gamer, particularly with regards to RPG's. To me, Skyrim is the best RPG ever made, bar none. The Witcher 2 was outstanding, but it's comparably sparse (though great!) content just can't hold a candle to skyrim's huge flexibility. TW2 forces you to play Geralt(note: not a bad thing for that game, it allows more story depth) but Skyrim allows you to make your own story.
Now, that said, the UI is atrocious. Yes, it's not so bad when you learn to use it, but even as a console UI it's crappy. The perk selection screen is god-awful on any platform.
Still, even with the hideous UI weighing it down (seriously, Bethesda, hire a usability expert next time!) Skyrim is still IMHO the best game ever made, and that's really saying something.
