However this game falls short in two key ways the first is excessive load times...

The game itself is a lot of fun but load times are long which discourages going into buildings

Great game, long loads.

This is the WORST game I have ever played from Bethesda!!!Slow loading and you better save alot and save often, because you never know when the next time it's going to freeze up on you and when that happens you have to turn off the xbox, restart it, load the game again, load your last save and then you can start playing again

But when I leave a building (8 seconds) and forgot to pick something back up inside that building (8 seconds) just to find that it was in my inventory all along, so I can leave the building again (8 seconds)...the time locked in creepy statue loading screen mode adds up

You are also presented with just a solid black screen, giving no indication if anything is loading or it just froze.

I'm giving it four stars because of the ridiculous loading times, bugs, and glitches

But like Oblivion and in the spirit of the series Skyrim is very much loaded with content

Game freezes when loading a new game

This is a great game, you just have to be willing to deal with long loading times, severe bugs, and making sure you know which skill you want to use before you level any one skill up too much.

; Skyrim is more of a DIY exploration-oriented game, and while in that respect it performs respectably, even admirably, there are a host of design issues that simply shouldn't be there, and the rampant loading times artificially extend total playtime

The loading every time you enter/exit a building or new corridor in a dungeon is pretty annoying as well.

Skyrim looks beautiful on the screen and until your save file grows the loads aren't so bad.

very good graphics, good audio- interactive loading scenes- has an autosave feature; can also manually save wheneverCons:- glitches

This game doesn't have any game-breaking bugs, but there are a few things that should have been fixed before the release date; mainly texture and loading issues.

It's one thing for a loading screen to freeze, but occassionally losing saved games is unforgivable

I will actually leave for a few minutes and come back to see if it was just a slow load or if it did actually freeze the console.

The world is expansive, loaded with increasingly interesting (and varied) quests

Nasty load and getting stuck bugs from Fallout are nearly gone.

The only drawback with games such as Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas is the annoying loading periods between entering different cells of the map

Delivery on time, item works as it should

skills to level, but they have combined most similar skills (such as Blunt and Blade and Hand to Hand) for more unique skills.+Speechcraft and Mercantile have combined and made the skill overall slightly easier to level up, basically by talking to tons of people and using persuasion/intimidate/bribery, or just selling tons of crap one item at a time.+Your Magicka is no longer capped at 200 without fortified equipment.+Ability to use two swords (personally my favorite way of fighting in any RPG)+When an enemy parries an attack, you don't get recoiled/knocked back as irritably as you did in Oblivion

Whatever you experience, those skills will increase as you get naturally stronger, with the ability to add a "perk" to a skill tree once you have so many skill points

However, if you're like me and want to spend as little time in the menus as possible, you're probably going to feel awfully limited as to how you play the game, which runs contrary to the flagship buzzword of the Elder Scrolls series: player choice

Would recommend this game to avid video game players as it keeps you focused and highly motivated to succeed!

Due to the simplification of its leveling system, which inevitably heralded the cries of many diehard RPG players like myself, questions abound as to whether Skyrim is a 'true' RPG

I hope you all enjoy this game as much as I do

And when I finally lost my loyal sidekick Lydia in some dungeon after days of doing quests together, I felt a genuine sense of emotional loss (even if she wasn't one of the more memorable NPC's), a very rare feeling in computer games.- Politics are realistic, complex, convoluted, frustrating, as they should be

I find the font on the screen to be too small to read from a distance.4 game freezes a

And it will be as great as you want it to be.

They are the same and work as good as in Oblivion, mostly, but I was hoping there would be more different weapons made from new materials

I think this is as close to perfect as you can get
