The All-Encompassing Skyrim Thread! (Here there be dragons)

So, bugs aside, is the game actually good? I'm considering grabbing this on payday instead of waiting for the inevitable GOTY edition.

I'm enjoying it, as far as the bugs go, I haven't encountered any. I never played Oblivion, so I don't know how much of an improvement Skyrim is compared to it, but I find myself pouring hours into this game.

If you are pouring hours into it, that's gotta be a good sign then, might well pick it up next week then. What platform you playing it on? From what I've read here and elsewhere the PC version seems neglected.
You should go play Morrowind and Oblivion sometime, especially on PC, the modding community is awesome for them.

Edit: @Spuzz
I can handle the bugs, I mean I bought Fallout 3 as soon as it came out, funny watching a deathclaw float into space repeatedly.

It's bigger than Oblivion?

Oh, I played Morrowind, still one of my favorite RPGs to date despite not aging to well. Anyways, I'm playing it on the 360 due to my lack of owning an actual PC. That being said, I would have picked it up for the PC if I could have, regardless if it feels neglected or not. Eventually the mod community will sort that out.

I sure hope so.

Thanks Gents, I shall be grabbing this on payday, best check the requirements first.

Edit: Specs are lower than I was expecting. <3

Don't hesitate. Bugs are occasional and humorous to slightly annoying, but in no way tarnish the monumental spectacle of grandeur that is this game. GET IT!!! It has the lifespan of about 3 games in one. So much content!!
