for a videogame and what we've seen in past rpg's it has a pretty good npc system with making them more lifelike, such as chopping wood, smithing, stuff like the such. yeah maybe they could do alittle better but this is (i personally think) a huge step from previous Bethesda games. and theres tons more customization to your character in skyrim. 10 races to choose from, many physical features to change, 18 different skills to level up and choose perks for however you please.
