    Seeing as I got Skyrim exactly Twenty-One hours ago (Yes I am that much of a nerd), i'd like to discuss and view other peoples first thoughts on it, seeing as there are several people here who probaly haven't yet played it, no "major" spoilers like plot lines, things like "____ Is my favourite town is fine in my opinion :)

    So my first thoughts are it's simply brilliant, the Dragon fights are as difficult as one would expect, the graphics are amazing, the combat system, although basicly not actualy that different from Oblivion, was tweaked in all the right areas and the ability to use magic and my amazing axe at once not only looks stunning, but is extremly effective, the shouts after hearing about them I was a little iffy about, mainly for the xbox seeing as there are only so many buttons... But they managed that just fine (And thinking back to oblivion there were quite a few buttons with little importance so I am a moron for comlaining about that....), I have much much more thoughts, but i'd like to hear other people share there thoughts and game experiences

    Ps. Anyone tried swimming up stream through rapids or sat at on a rock in the rapids and caught Salmon swimming up stream like a bear? I'll admit... I squealed with joy

    Pss. Anyone else found M'aiq the Liar yet :p He's out there, I... Also squealed with joy at this... At about four in the morning... My family must hate me

    It's fun when Developers can't have someone run through the game before releasing it.

    As far as I can tell there are no major bugs, there was a small problem where only the white parts of the water was showing in the rapids though, just a small texture bug but still something they will probaly fix within the next few days

    Ugh, I remember New Vegas on the PC, after being fine in the beginning it got to a point where it crashed EVERY FEW SECONDS. Needless to say I never finished the game. I got Skyrim today, I don't have time to play right now though.
