User blog comment:Redexx/Skyrim's many faults and upsides. **My take**/@comment-5469467-20121229022557

I agree, especially with the verdict. Skyrim is a bit of a flawed gem, and at the end of the day it's a great game despite glitches and half-baked mechanics. Bethesda has a pretty bad track record with glitches, so that is something that may never change (nowadays it's more an expectation than a surprise). Hopefully, though, they might be able to improve the new mechanics. Adding a fame system to make your choices and deeds have recognition would be a good start. They also should consider improve the marriage system and add spouses from every race. Hell, they should make a better population ratio of citizens to nameless bandits and conjurers.

Mind you, I suspect that the perfect Elder Scrolls game will only ever be a dream, but Bethesda does a well enough job even with their flaws.
