Skyrim, oh Skyrim

So juggling business, girlfriend, gaming and sport is never an easy task, then along comes a game like Skyrim where if you're not too careful you end up pissing everyone off. 
 
13 hours in and I don't think I've even scratched the surface of what Skyrim has to offer. I ended up playing the last Elder Scrolls game Oblivion for around the 40 hour mark, I got a little bored 1/2 through; especial with the repetitive nature of closing the gates to Oblivion so I ended up powering my way to the finish
 
The word around town is that Skyrim has over 300 hours worth of content, 300 fucking hours?!?!?! There are MMORPG's out there with less content & you have to pay a monthly fee for those. I think I will be playing this game for a very very very very very long time! Here's my mini in-progress review:
 
Skyrim - Pros
  • The world looks amazing, so much detail
  • Lots and lots to do & you find quests everywhere (overhearing conversations, in books, randomly exploring)  
  • Dragons! Unlimited Dragons!
  • Dual wield spells
  • Interesting and surprising long dungeons
  • Skyrim - Cons
  • World map looks cool, but it's difficult to figure out if you're on the right path to get somewhere.
  • Lots of loading in and out of building
  • Combat feels a little strange (It's never really felt right in these games tho)
