Save often cause there are many scatterd glitches and bugs that can render the main quest and side quests impossible to finish, some of witch can be fixed if you have the PC version. Still a great game though. :)

One of the best and most enjoyable games I have played in a long time since games like Uncharted 2 or Red Dead Redemption. After finals are over with Wednesday I cannot wait to clock in more time until I go back home on Saturday where I can clock in more hours plus work :D

If any other game was this glitchy and broken it would be laughed at and a failure.. In spite of all the glitches and freezing and lag its still one of the single best games to come out this generation.. buy it..

Don't worry about it. There are loads of glitches but very few that actually hinders you from having a great time and completing quests. In over 100 hours of skyrim (PC )it only crashed once (complete crash to desktop) and only two annoying bugs actually affected quests. I had to replay a large section of a CW quest because a puzzle bugged out and in another I couldn't hide a body because the leg got stuck in a chair. The only other real gameplay affect bug I encountered was me not being able to absorb a dragon soul (about 3 or 4 times). But honestly the bugs shouldn't scare you, it's one hell of a game. Get it, one of the few time it's worth every penny.

This game is simply amazing. Some tips for keeping the game running smooth are to turn off all the autosave functions (yes, this can be really annoying if you forget to save after 2 hours and end up dead, as I did earlier, but it helps a lot, especially since it tried to autosave as I opened a menu and was locked up for 10 or 15 seconds) and after a few hours (3 or 4) turn off the system since the game will start to lag (for me it happened in towns) and turn it on in like 10 or 15 minutes and you can go back to a smooth game.

As for bugs, the only one I've had is sometimes dialouge options to sell items don't show up, but I found that either talking to them several times works, waiting (in game waiting by going to the wait menu) works, and sometimes the doors to shops are opened in a weird position so you may have to open and close them to get the merchants working again.

Basically, nearly 40 hours in that's all I've run into that has been notable/frustrating. The game itself is simply a lot of fun and will consume the rest of your winter.

Great game, I love the colors and atmosphere but I was severely disappointed with several big and major aspects of the game. No point in going further since I'd have to spoil to explain why. Oblivion did a much better job with this though.

lots of people love it but hate the insane load times. Personally for me I could care less about it. Not that its bad or anything. I just don't have the attention anymore to spend hundreds of hours on one game.
