    I must say that I was actually disappointed with Skyrim. It's unmatched in the amount of content and the amount of things you can do is brilliant, but the character-building and items were boring enough for me to get disinterested a lot sooner than I thought I would. I played a mage and the spells are tedious and boring and I got the archmage robes so early that the item-finding pretty much ended there.

    @Namdrater, that's why I started modding. Almost every gameplay mechanic in Skyrim eventually breaks prematurely.

    I can't say anything about magic since I haven't use it but as far as loot goes Bethesda games have never really been about loot, sure you still get to find some cool items but it's not the main drive.

    I'm disappointed with Skyrim as a whole. It's a good game, but it's not what the next TES should have been.

    Bethesda borked Skyrim from the get-go... Really pissed off with the game, haven't touched it since beginning of December.

    I will maybe finish the game some day, but for now, I don't really care. Busy with Minecraft and BF3 and hoping for news on Guild Wars 2 beta sign-ups.

    tl;dr

    Skyrim is awesome, if you don't like it, you are wrong.

    I think often the problem is people buy a game because of the hype rather than because they think they will enjoy playing the game. Hence the disappointment.

    The thing for me isn't that it didn't live up to the hype, it's that it could (and should) have been so much more than it is. Every Elder Scrolls game so far has raised the bar for RPGs, but Skyrim didn't.

    In other words, you over hyped it yourself and hence the disappointment.

    For me Skyrim is exactly what I expected it to be, no more no less. I'm only expecting a significant evolution when the next generation of consoles arrive.

    No. In other words, you don't understand what I'm saying.

    Hype was never the issue. he issue is that Skyrim is a stock-standard RPG, nothing we haven't seen before, based on ancient tech and gameplay mechanics. Bethesda slacked off when making the game.

    Hell, the same annoying technical issues we had in Oblivion is still in Skyrim. Little things that bring the entire game down, like sub-par AI.
