    • As unlikely as it seems, Steam seemed unable to set the file protections properly in its own installation
    • Having wrestled with the hateful and swinish Steam thing and gotten the game loaded it was a joy.
    • Steam can automatically install the game as well as keep it up to date, and it makes gaming on the PC feel like a disc-free console machine
    • In order to play the game, I would have to create a free steam account, which I refuse to do, even if I wasn't out of internet access 25% of the time (travel) or on dial up.
    • Steam is a minor annoyance, chances are if you've got a gaming laptop, you've got crappy battery life, and therefore will only play in your home or someone else's, which has internet

    • I am glad I am not the only one who hates Steam
    • Steam, my God, why did I even bother
    • As far as steam is concerned...well right now I happen to be stationed in Afghanistan.
    • Steam is no problem and allows fast recall and setting games.
    • Steam lags this game to extremes
    • The game is as beautiful as it is deep and endless
    • Graphics are outstanding, controlls work as they should
    • he will also have at least a couple of spells, and a good collection of potions (I've used hundreds of Heal potions, they're the only way to survive some battles (you freeze action in the middle of a battle to embibe) as well as to replenish magicka).Save Game
    • Even running through them as fast as I could still took about an hour to complete
    • People say that faction quests are not as good as in Oblivion but it about evens out, imo
    • I have mined ore, smithed armor, and even chopped wood for a living, as well as destroying everyone in a city in this game

    • This may disappoint some long-time RPG players who love directly tweaking their stats, but I found I enjoyed this differences in gameplay just the same as if I'd taken the time to raise this or that stat in another title.
    • I can't say enough good things about this game and if you don't already own it, scroll back up and get it on your computer as fast as you can
    • That is just my take on the game, it's really a believable world, and of course everything is always as good as you make it.
    • The quests are challenging, and require more than mere button-mashing (be prepared to do some thinking, as well as to make some important, game-changing decisions).Having put in a long night of playing my first character, I was very satisfied with Skyrim, and anticipated many, MANY hours of play
    • Con: Graphics aren't as wonderful as in previous games, which shocked me

    • The most interesting person I can think of off the top of my head is M’aiq the Liar
