First impression is really cool. Great cinematic intro, nice main character, pretty fine graphics etc. However the longer you play the the more bugs, glitches and crap you see. Crashes, problems with saves (my save-game folder grew up to 3GB :o ), more and more stupid dialogues, glitches, problems with textures etc. etc. After 2 hours of playing I would give it 9. Now it takes 4.
And the fighting system... hmm.. first you think:
wow! innovative! cool! Then: click, click, click.... boooring After 10 hours:
damn... I miss Oblivion fighting system!

I think that the developer focused on the beginning of the game to make great first impression but they forgot about the rest.
