is the game flawed beyond belief? Yes!

Is is bad? that is up for debate

on one hand bethesda got many things right (weapon and armor crafting, great alchemy system, ore/ mineral mining etc.) and gave us what we expected, progress.

on the other hand, many things were removed (see post above) which made the elder scrolls FEEL like an elder scrolls game. not to go off on a tangent, but that seems to be the mode of modern games as a whole, focused on graphics and explosions over replayablility and depth. please fix this.
