Yup. I've been playing Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Almost non-stop. For two months. I'm not sure I've even showered much since I became the Dragonborn but that doesn't matter 'cause I'm all locked in my dungeon, alone, rarely wearing pants. The game has great graphics and smooth game play. It's got an entertaining story and a HUGE open world. I haven't even gotten close to finishing this game and I really have been playing it at near high school kid levels. I love it for that. In this day and age of the straightforward RPG that keeps you going on a straight path with very few twists and turns, Skyrim has an open world that keeps you playing, and exploring, and just wandering the land until you open and discover every single thing. And that is what I'm doing. Still. I've easily clocked a couple hundred hours on it and I'm nowhere near the end of all the main quests or side quests. I'm just wandering aimlessly, killing nearly everything in my path.
The few problems I have with this game is the over-encumbrance issues and the level max. I know they're going for a realistic feel to carrying objects but damn it I miss the days of stockpiling everything on my character. Never having to worry when I'm going through a dungeon/castle/whatever. Thinking that if I pick something up I might not be able to move and have to stop halfway through it and go back to my main house to unload would be nice. And a level max. I miss the days of gaining god-like power when you reach a max level and in this day and age how is there even a max level. It was always 99 because back in the day I don't think numbers after that existed for levels but still when you hit it there was no enemy in the game that made you scared. The game pretty much became you, as a being of God-like power, destroying everything in your path with ease. Also the glitch when you're unloading and the scrolling will go down for a few, then up suddenly, then down maybe or up some more being fixed would be nice. I hate accidentally unloading things I don't want to unload because I had a shitload of Forsworn Armors, but halfway through me unloading the 5 of them it changed to something else for no reason. That gets on my damn nerves. I'm definitely feeling like an old fogey for having this kind of talk here but these are just some of the few things that I don't like about this game.
It's a great game and you need to go buy it. Play it. And kiss any and almost all social life goodbye because it will own you in such a good way. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go get me mo' Petty Soul Gems and fill them with my Soul Trap enchanted Ebony Bow and Orcish Arrows.
