I rented this on Gamefly and couldn't get into it. Graphics are stunning and it's huge, just not my cup of tea.

I got bored of it about 10 hours in...same ol same ol; feels like Oblivion with slightly better graphics and worse GUI. I really bought it for the mods; otherwise I wouldn't have wasted money on it
IMO Bethsoft is too dependent on modders to fix their f-ups

Quests never end in Skyrim because it has a system that auto generates minor quests so in theory you could be playing Skyrim until the day you die.

I know and I've done quite a few of those but I still haven't finished the main quest yet. Or the thieves guild and dark brotherhood.
I haven't even decided whether to side with the Empire or the Stormcloaks yet.

I have to admit I am a level 48 walking tank now and usually have Lydia tagging along as my pack mule but I'm still really enjoying it.
