The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim A short review/opinion on skyrim

The Game
Though I haven't experience d the previous Elder Scrolls. I have heard great things and after hearing so much about this game and how great it was figured I should give it a try. Now what I say may seem like I am bashing the game, don't get me wrong. I like this games but, it definitely had room for improve and I am sure this opinion is shared. Visually this game is quite impressive for it's massive size, scale and colors. full of Creatures running all about. Lot's of beautiful scenery. tree's mountain's to the rapids.. ...Dungeon's and caves are fun to explore lots of towns and city's to visit to keep the adventure alive. I enjoyed playing it day after day and to this day am still getting plenty of enjoyment from it. With and without it's problems. With this massively scaled world that you can explore naturally come's with lots of game issues. surprisingly enough with such a massive world I was surprised I didn't see these issue's to often.. But the one's I have seen can be a pain Though the creator's did a great job there was room for improvement and I think they may of been slacking off, knowing that the game was going to sell obviously from the previous Elder Scrolls name to carry it. If you get my meaning.

Game Issues

 * To falling through the ground. to taking a arrow to the knee. I've done it all. This game while fun, Had lot's of bugs that can be exploited if the player so chooses.

Duping item's. OP weapon's. and weapons that didn't get enough attention... It felt more hack & slash than RPG. NPC's would often loop. saying the same thing over and over Quests would often glitch rendering a save-file from being able to move forward in the game. (nothing a few extra saves can't cure/) but sometimes even that won't help. I felt they could've tried harder with the Abilities and perks. Transformations & diseases. Werewolf & vampire. The werewolf trumps the Vampire. and being a vampire seems to be a disability where as the Pro's for being a vampire are moot.

NPC's will constantly get stuck, or when in battle will stand by while you are beaten to a pulp. Not being able to see enemies around you without the Aid of a Spell or shout was quite frustrating. Some weapon's were extremely over-power such as sneak & daggers. Lot's of abilities or magic School's take far to long to get to the next level while main destruction spells level ridiculously quick for something that you use as a main attack.(alteration/restoration.)Annoying...for those who don't exploit in-game tricks.

And while I want to rant some more..

This game has great music, good character's and lots of great stories to tell.

My overall rating for this game is. 7.5/10 Art/Graphics - 6/10 Campaign Story - 8.5/10 Side Quest(CMPs/BH/Etc.) 6.5/10 Music/sounds(Though lot's of them were bugged.) 5.5/10 Definitely worth a second play-through.
