Skyrim by itself is a great game. So many possibilities what to do.
But what makes skyrim the best game is the Nexus. The mods enhance the experience endlesly. As long as there are creative people interesting ther is and will be new content for Skyrim. Not many games have that big creative comunity. Yes not every mod is great, yes there are lots of crapy mods, yes you will need to spend some time searching, installing and de-bugging, but then the result can be very satisfactory. Sometimes you hit limits of the engine, but there are workarounds too. It’s all very fascinating.

Your points about storyline and exploration REALLY make me wanna check it out. I beat Skyrim to a bloody pulp (I completely ran out of things to do, including the DLCs), so I’d love to have another experience similar to that. The problem is, I did end up playing an instance of the beta (maybe 4 months ago?), and I did not like it. Like you say, it’s basically a standard MMO (a la the WoW model), but for the reasons you state about it NOT being a true Elder Scrolls game just bugs me terribly. Once I realized there were hot-keyed abilities, I pretty much wrote it off. It sounds petty, but it just felt antithetical to all that is Elder Scrolls.

“A billion flies can’t be wrong, shit tastes good!”

Popularity =/= quality. AFAIK they’re *still* making new episodes for “The Bold And The Beautiful”, and that soap was the direst crap already when I first heard of it like twenty years ago…

I see Elder Scrolls *still* cannot into decent looking plate armor.

A game were you can’t share goal/objective completion with your party at least is a failure as a MMO nowadays. Without the social aspect there is no sense in making it online… waiting for a boss mob to spawn after you just helped to kill it but didn’t got the credit is an obsolete game design decision!
Graphicaly its all watered down nothing to stand out of the other online games…
I woudn’t recomend to anyone who isn’t a die hard ES fan. Go play Final Fantasy XIV or Guild Wars 2 they offer better experiences.

Nah it looks fast bcoz those classes skills were set to fast skill macros. Friend from the Korea beta told me that even now in closed beta it got huge skill customizations. For someonewho played WoW it should be eas cake ;P
