    Great game

    I simply can't stop playing. If you think the game is boring then you are doing something wrong. I sit there transfixed by the screen as time rolls by. TONS AND TONS to do.

    good graphics average gameplay.

    alough this game has some of the best graphics it was a let down in the gameplay after about an hour of playing it becomes the same thing over and over.

    Is it as good as Fable on Xbox?

    Have not had a chance to play this game and I have a few questons.
    1. Is the game as good a RPG as Fable (Xbox)?
    2. Is it better than Elder Scrolls 3, gameplay wise (I hated 3's gameplay)?
    3. Whats the 'problems' I have just read in the Cons section?

    TES for the win

    this is by no means a game for everyone. if you enjoy RPG games, or any of the previous TES games this is definitely for you though. I personally have never been a big fan of RPGs, and have never played any of the previous TES games and still absolutely love this. Give yourself time to work it out, and you'll be losing some serious hours.

    boring...

    I bought this game based on the hype, but just simply found it repetitive and boring. Don't get me wrong though, the graphics were awesome and easily the best feature of the game (although the constant loading was an annoyance), but the gameplay I found was absolutely and utterly boring.

    One of the Worst Series...Lather, Rinse, Regurgitate

    The Elder Scrolls series is frankly one of the most over-hyped games to come out recently. I can't understand why people rate this so highly -- ponderously slow and tedious character creation, yawning combat, and an all-too-vague sense of progression make it hard to play with any enthusiasm.

    Don't get me started on the graphics...
