Meh, getting more irked by bugs, for some reason the location I'm in, if I go near the water the screen just starts bouncing around like I'm jumping and making the jumping noise, so its a pain in the arse, and then it started doing it out of the water so came out to reload game and hope it went away.
That and the utterly irritating, "i've opened a door so the entire contents of the room decides to throw itself around randomly" thing.
Storywise, it gives you a quest to join a group of people, there is no indication of joining them prevents you joining other groups of people, or if you can leave, just a quest that says do it. Now due to killing the guy on a previous quest, they want me to kill the corpse, and it won't update in any way to move forwards.
Graphically, I can see both points of view, overall the game looks very nice but it does lack distinctive features like rain effects and some other things. But, then morrowind looked massively worse overall but with a few better effects. While watching water splash on the ground/puddle is nice, in 99.999% of the time I play I'm not watching the ground at my feet, but watching the world around me........ most of which is vastly vastly improved over older games.
I don't think its epic, I don't think its the best game ever and technically I don't think its doing anything particularly fancy or new. That is what I've always said though, the look/feel of a game has little to do with the latest and newest effects or all the smaller features, but the overall blend of design with the right amount of effects. The sky can look amazing at night and the lighting in general makes the world look very good both night and day.
Oh, and does anyone else have odd alt-tabbing in this game? If I go to windows, I can't click the window or alt-tab back into the game, I have to do it twice, first time brings up skyrim but in a window and black inside window, alt-tab again and it goes full screen to the game, odd.
