For me its only decent - good. Story and characters is still very bland to me. I suppose if you love bethesda games and open world exploring then it satisfy that but for story players its a let down imho.

Edit: Impressive to see these mods appear so soon after release. Really looking forward to what they can bring out the next few weeks. :DQuote:
Here's a mod for higher quality textures: skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=114
It's for the most common outside textures, aren't any screenshot comparisons unfortunately, check description.

WOW. Skyrim pwns everything else on Steam.
Yep Bethesda is less about telling an epic story and more about letting the players forge their own story. While I love Epic narratives, I am just as fond of forging my own path.Quote:

My new mission for today is to get married. I didn't even know you could get married 'till a friend told me today. My long term goal is to marry every NPC you can (one at a time) and kill them all.
thats scary but a plan :pQuote:

Sounds reasonable. A good sammich goes a long way. Especially in these tough times, with... you know... dragons and all.Quote:

Don't use that much anymore.. Use frost voice.. And ur about to kill that horrible orphan caretaker lady... She's such a bad person... Remember to find the shout in the dark brotherhood sanctuary when u eventually get there...:)Quote:

I wish it was that effective on the mammoths!! Still can't touch them with my Nord, they flatten me like a pancake :PQuote:

Found one of the fire ones too, but he fried me before I could kill him.
I just got there last night after getting distracted several times by explorable dungeons on my way there. I'm so thoroughly enthralled by this game. :)Quote:

This is what i look like, basically the same dont have a screenshot of myself tho

I got the game working last night :)
I chose the Nord, and only got till the first playable scene before having to turn off the game. Oh well there is always tonight.
For some reason the game detected that it could play at ultra settings, I was very surprised by that :wtf:
It's not as hardware intensive as anticipated... no complaints from my side though, looks great to me and with the mods and texture packs on the way it's going to be a beauty. Then it will really test your PC's hardware.Quote:

Ditto for me. It is an awesome armour set.Quote:

Technically I've already Murdered someone, Mercenary I came across next to the road. He had cool armor so I killed him, took it and gave it to Lydia.Quote:

Just go talk to the guy you bought it from. He gives you a book and you can see what each upgrade does before choosing it.Quote:

My character is not what a planned but he is fookin powerful. Basically an Imperial Mage who specialises in the arts of destruction.
In one hand he has the power of Shock a la Star Wars Emperor Palpatine and in the other he has the power of self heal. So basically I'm an unstoppable storm cloud of death. When I really want to viciously abuse my foes I power both hands with the shock powers.
I found and killed a necromancer who's robe regenerates magika 75% faster than normal. So now I feel like I'm cheating. I can kill a dragon in about 2 minutes from 50 meters away and stand directly in its stream of fire as long as I keep the self heal spell going.
It all looks amazing when all that magic and fire is flying about, especially in 3rd person.
The melee is about what I expected, it's very lose and feedback isn't so great. It's no Dark Messiah or Dark Souls, but it's serviceable enough to be fun.Quote:

There are some bug's, some are hilarious, but they in no way destroy the experience. At least thats the case for me so far.
