The Bottom Line:

"Solid"

Beautiful game, decent story, overall a very fun and addicting game. Better than Oblivion on all fronts.

One side note I have would apply to trade skills. Really only used those to level up my character, didn't really use them for anything else. Then again, I may play through the game a few more times and change my own mind about it. I love the fact that it really feels like the game never ends. There are so many side quests that are playable, I found myself playing those more than I played the actual main story line.

The game also looks stunning. I found myself stopping and turning the camera just to view the scenery. The sound also fits the scenery, very nice ambiance as you travel through the huge environment. Some of the catacombs and dungeons did feel a tiny bit repetitive to me, but hardly noticeable considering everything else I liked about the game.

The shout feature was really interesting as well. Something I really had never seen before in a game, and an original concept. I like that shouts were not only used as weapons, but also tools to help get through certain scenarios in the game.

Again, a very enjoyable game, and a must play for RPG fans like myself.
