Amazing job, Bethesda!

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:19 pm

I just bought the game yesterday and downloaded it last night. I've played it for about ten hours so far and I'm really enjoying it. It was well worth the money my brother spent on it! :)

I noticed some of the graphics issues on my Mac (blurred textures, mostly), but it runs smoothly and after a steady three or four hours of play, I've not had any problems whatsoever.

Also, I expressed some concern back in April about how the women would be represented in the game - socially and politically, as well as physically. I was impressed that Skyrim's society seems balanced and women are well-represented in leadership roles. Overall, I can live with the way they look. My only criticism is the way women run - the animation. I'll just say it doesn't seem realistic.

I do miss the face-generator, but only because I spent so much time learning how to make a decent face. Now that I'm good at it, it's gone. :(

I'm curious about how the perk system works. Does this replace skill increases? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Great job, Bethesda, and I'm thrilled with the game.

I wasn't really complaining or whining people. Sorry if that's how it sounded. :(

I agree. With so much nit picking and nagging going on lately I think people have forgotten how much of a great piece of software this really is. Regardless what little things may annoy you, this truly is a great game!


I agree too but I do need to stop playing it so much. It's becoming unhealthy. I haven't had this kind of addiction since WoW.

He's my brother. He's exploitable.

@ Kaneydien: Right, sorry, read some of the posts quickly.

It was pretty bad back in April, too. I've been lurking for a bit and avoiding the arguments. But I came down kind of hard on Bethesda back in April, and I thought I'd let them know I love what they've done with Skyrim.

WooHoo!

I just wish there would be any concurrent to Bethesda in the open sand box arena, things would evolve faster.... for good or worse probably.

For those on PC there s mods at tex nexus that make beautifull what Beth was able to make ugly...(face generator)
