Not liking the game so much, its just there isnt anything else to do (Although i do play a lot of the binding of isaac)
- the map is the size of a postage stamp.
- You got guys talking about going to the big city. Closest city was what 4 min on foot. for the love of god lazy bastard, walk
- you can only have 1 guy following you, and you cant decide what he/she should equip.
- as for exploring. there is no challenge, you practically trip over the different sites. its harder to walk from a to b without actually going to that new site
- the whole console interface sucks monkehballs
- leveling OMG im not 10 (mentally i am 11 and 11 does not equal 10)
- WHERE IS MY FUCKING CART
- all shops i run into have not enough gold for the crap i want to sell them
- where are all my exciting talking opportunities
- the average peasant there bitches more than i do

it does look ok though
LORD HELMET:  I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's
former roommate.

LONE STARR:  What's that make us?

LORD HELMET:  Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are
about to become. Prepare to die.

-Map small? really i think its HUGE, i mean it feels epic.
- country bumpkins always think anything is big
-dont play easy mode with a follower ;)
- turn off compass
- indeed it does lets hope for a PC friendly one, either official or modded will do thanks
-what? what? (do you mean no stats? thats my biggest gripe)
- Wheelwrights still working on it, until then suck it up and stop being a loot whore, or pick stamina at level up that increases your carry weight, or buy a house to store your crap in between dungeons.
- its called speech, as that improves so do shops cash and you will be able to invest in them to give them more cash.
- mostly in taverns or guild buildings, sometimes random scrubs want you to do shit, try using shouts in town thats fun.
- they are inthe middle of a civil war and Dragons are being reborn all around, wouldnt you bitch?

Yeah its OK looking blame the 5 year old console and not your newer PC GFX card. ( buit you have used the ini tweaks posted above to make it look better havent you?)

Gots me a house.

Oh and 7000 steps to HH.  Brilliant touch with all the etchings along the way.  Has a feel of those religious places in this world stuck up bloody great hills too :D

That pic is awesome, Garry. Made me chuckle.

Pretty much done all of the Whiterun stuff apart from all of the Companions chain. I won't divulge in any spoilers, but i've just started and EPIC dark brotherhood quest line. Actually 'EPIC' doesn't cover it. Also just rolled up in Riften to do some city quests and have a look at the Thieves guild.

Nope, quite literally eating the stuff. My warrior isnt very bright.


Regards the crafting system.  This is how it should be in all those generic Diku-Mud mmos out there or soon to be out.  Rather than the copout easy routes those sorts of linear levelling games take.
