Tons of replay value, fun, but the mechanics are horribly annoying.

If you've played any of the other Bethesda games, you'll fall right into this and know how things work. Open world, tons of quests, pack mule annoyances, money grind, in town shenanigans, skill grind, crappy weapons, horrible inventory systems, lame character models, repetitive voice acting, and wet paper towel main storylines.

The great aspects of this game:

Tons to do, so replay value is high.
A variety of builds to go with (some of which are useless though).
Towns are very different and enjoyable to explore.
A follower system that does not blow mammoth booty.

The crap of this game:

The UI is utter poop. SO, SO, BAD. (console based)
Caverns/Dungeons grow very repetitive.
Money/Skill Grind is a cheap replacement for game difficulty.
Shout System is a gimmick with little to no usefulness.

It's posted at around $40 online (as of Feb. 2013), which I would say it worth it. The add-ons, I couldn't tell you about though.
