The best part is that the weapons feel like they have actual weight. Combat is so much more tactical than Oblivion where it was just hack slash and pray. Shield bashing is fun as well.
I feel bad for that guy at the beginning. Had he stalled for 30 seconds or so he wouldn't have lost his head.

The voice acting is campy but it's really grown on me. Even though the world looks to be about the same size as Oblivion it feels far more massive just because of how they've handcrafted it. It must have taken me two hours to ride from Whiterun to Riften between getting lost on paths, fighting things, stopping for the night and mining some ore.
The best moment by far was running back to Whiterun after that one Companions quest (you know the one if you've done it). I see a poor jester in the road, and stop to help him. While I'm talking with him I see a dragon come in from the top of the screen, the music starts playing, I tab out of the conversation, draw my weapon as the dragon comes about to land and think "**** YEAH THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!"
Skyrim is by far the best RPG I've ever played because it makes me actually want to play a role and immerse myself in the world rather than Min/Max my character for a certain build and go the optimal route at all times. The combat goes a long way towards helping that. In Oblivion I always rolled a stealth class because I couldn't stand the combat, and going stealth I could snipe pretty much everything bypassing combat entirely. I absolutely hated the magic system as well. But Skyrim seems to do everything right. Great combat, a nice magic system, and from the limited sneaking I've done on my Nord warrior, enemies that actually hear you and investigate if you aren't dead silent. |

The glowing ore mod is also somewhat helpful in locating mineable ore nodes. It makes the veins in the ore glow slightly so it's easily identifiable at night or in dark places.
Now I just need a mod that makes dragonplate not ugly. |

Similar to the way you can get to Skyrim in Oblivion but nothing's there.
It's interesting to think that Bethesda might be thinking ahead to potential expansions that open everything up. |
