What you're saying is interesting to think about. I especially understand the hype part. I started playing Skyrim after seeing some very good reviews, and the game got me hooked on the rest of the series. Looking back, I remember seeing some different articles and previews that contained a pretty big amount of hype. Skyrim's not perfect, and I notice quite a few issues and areas of improvement, but it's the fact that Bethesda can get so much right is what makes the game appeal to me.

As for your level 66 character...it'd break your heart. Please accept my condolences. :)
