Had a bit of time to spend checking out the game owned by the daughter of an old friend. Some interesting points came out in discussion, and others while checking out the content.
For instance, if you just watch the trailers, you may be unaware that Skyrim removes spellmaking. And those same trailers don't usually point out the awful inventory/magic/etc interface, made for a controller, not for mouse and keyboard.
I'm not suggesting that anyone should change their opinions of any Skyrim based on these comments--only that it seems reasonable to truly check something out before investing so much emotionally in it. PR is the science of selling people on the need to own whatever a client wants. The client may have a good product or they may not, but I think we can safely eliminate the PR and go right to the source to figure out what we think of that product.
Well, true....but after reading so many reviews, watching so many videos and reading so many topics on different forums about it, it feels as if I already played it, even if it happened only in my imagination. It certainly looks better than Oblivion so I was not wrong placing on top of it in my list.
Then don't you mean it's the second-best ES game that you've ever seen in a video, rather than your second favorite ES game? Because with respect, you've never played it, and a favorite anything implies something you've tried and liked above all others.
The carriages have worked fine for me, and I've actually had relatively few bugs. I have, however, had one annoyance. I wish that an NPC you stand next to for a while would eventually give up trying to start conversation with you... I stood next to a khajit trader while I ran for a bio break and got to listen to him blather on every ten seconds for like fifteen minutes as I ran arount my room making a meal and such... about drove me batty. Bethsoft... guys... most people give up after a few tries to start conversation. Shouldn't your NPCs? lol
Otherwise, all I can say is good job Bethesda and crew... I <3 this game.
