I'm a big RPG fan but wasn't sure about the more "realistic" style of elder scroll games.
This game is unbelievably impressive. The AI, sound, graphics are all mind blowing and the game is simply HUGE!!!
I would have to saw this is definately one of the best RPGs I have ever played and everything seems just right in turms of interactivity, use of items and so on.
Also, the first person fighting style may seem odd but trust me, it feels PERFECT. It actually feels like your sword fighting enemies, blocking and attacking... pausing the game the browse through your items and spells during battle.
Do yourself a favor and just BUY THIS GAME!!
