Take care, friends I've made in my time here at WF. I won't be much of a presence anymore as I don't like what the site has become, but you may be able to catch me haunting the Book Barn at Something Awful forums.

All the best

There's no end to the "fetch my crap from the cave of wonders" nonsense. Even 'miscellaneous objective' makes me think, "Why bother? A thank you and some gold" That's not very interesting to me. The people of Skyrim are the most forgetful I've ever come across in a game, and I felt very little for helping 'em.

The world doesn't grab me. Outside of the main story, which is actually the best in the series, I can't remember a moment where I thought "wow". It just seems so serious. Two or three silly quests along the way don't soften that shell.

I remember at least ten moments in Oblivion/Fallout 3 that made my mouth dry up. F3 is set in a damn wasteland and has more character than Skyrim. I was utterly bored to tears by the end, even letting out deep groans when yet another dragon attacked. Really? After a fast-travel? AGAIN?

Good game, but not a classic, and far from a 10. I wish I liked it as much as you

Anyway, I'm looking forward to some fun in Saints Row.

No, it hasn't lived up to my expectations, sadly. The quest variety is very poor I think. The world is amazing but very harsh -- it's like going from Elizabethan (Oblivion) to medieval (Skyrim). I think I prefer the warm, charming places and people of Cyrodiil. Everyone in Skyrim seems to have a big chip on their shoulder; I just haven't found the experience very pleasant. Even Fallout 3 had a playfulness to it.

I know already I won't be playing it again for a long while. 7/10 for me.

Technically it's better in every single way, but the actual quests and characters and places just lack something. Markarth is beautiful but dead . . . much like the game, I'd say. It's probably more "not what I wanted" than bad.

It actually hurts when you're waiting for something interesting to happen and it never comes. Ah well, I'm over it.

Cool idea there; I'm going to be a totally evil Dark Elf with a hint of necromancy on my second playthrough, definitely. I've never been a bad guy in an RPG, but I have the urge to here. I'll never be an Orc, I've always preferred the sneakier races.

I called my Argonian dude Draco Samael which sounds utterly evil even though he's not. I called my Fallout 3 and NV dudes Red Harkness. It took me an hour to come up with both. Don't know why I'm telling you this, lol.

Loving the Scandinavian accents in Skyrim. I can't wait for them to say words with the letter 'L' in them.

I'm not a spoiler-type person, don't worry. I'm playing as an Argonian thief/mage at the moment.

Enjoy your time with it man .

Nah, I'm not even going to look at the reviews . I got my copy today for some reason. 8 hours in so far . . . and I've only completed two quests, lol.

Hi Caelum....I play alittle guitar but i'm only a leaner really, my instrument is the piano but i'm not up to much on that either !!... hahaha i do love the blues and saw that picture and liked it. So there you have it.

Your current avatar is the only way I could ever find Harry Potter interesting. And delicious.

Such a beautiful video, really touching. The song doesn't sound like it's by Jeremy Soule to me for some reason -- at least, not in the same vein as his previous work. Maybe Skyrim's score is going to be a bit more simplistic? Can't wait.

Uncharted is okay. It has incredible visuals and the characters are very, very loveable; it's an Indiana Jones game really. Its problems lie solely within the gameplay, which is boring as hell (IMO). Thanks for the link bud .

LOL the avatar's funny!
