Just let me say I was totally hype about playing Skyrim. I got it for Christmas and couldn't put it down. To date I have 103 hours on it. First off though, I was loving the game. Huge world. Biggest I've ever roamed around in. I've explored the entire map and cleared everything that was possible(sometimes quests lock dungeons until active quest). Took care of all my quests from everywhere. But once the hours racked up there came the lag. I couldn't go into cities without horrible lag. I would run into a group of enemies and my guy would just freeze while swinging my sword, the game couldn't keep up. Numerous quests are unable to complete because I either already did it or it just plain wouldn't work. I was able to deal with it though cause is was side stuff. Up to this point I have a lot of inventory that is "quest" items that I can't get rid of but I've already completed the quest. A bunch of side quests that can't be completed. But that's nothing. When I decided to move on the main story is when it all went to hell. I completed the quest Diplomatic Immunity and the next quest won't start. BOOM! Game over, no more main quests. And everyone who's googled the game knows what quest bug I'm talking about. Tried everything people suggested nothing works. I have 103 hours on this game and I can't finish it. I don't know about some people that just play a while and finish it a couple months later. But I play nonstop until the game is done. I can't finish my game. Oh, you say wait for the patch. I'll be playing Final Fantasy by then. And I guarantee it will run flawlessly. So review wise what can I say. I loved the game up until it had a game breaking glitch and couldn't finish. Bethesda needs to stop putting out bug filled crap. New Vegas was horribly glitched also. But I was at least able to finish it. It really disappoints me though. All those hours and I have to put it back in it's case on the shelf incomplete. .......................................................................................................Ok. It is now the end of April. There was a patch that came through. I was able to finish the game. But. I lost my groove. Forgot the controls. I just wasn't feeling it. I've already played Final Fantasy, Mass Effect 3, and alot of online Modern Warfare since then. It felt weird going back and playing it. But I was able to finish it so that's what matters.
