For me its doubly hard because I've basically played Oblivion and Skyrim back to back. And it doesn't help that I played the ultimate edition of Oblivion with all the DLC and stuff. Now we have the never ending Skyrim.

It doesn't help that that since the underlying core gameplay has stayed the same since oblivion, it really has the sense of 'been there done that-itis' when playing.

New story/setting - but ultimately it's still the same game. Still lots of fun, but elements are becoming very chore-ish.

Yea, kinda like Fallout 3 -> Fallout NV.

Still, Skyrim is probably one of the best games Ive played this year.
And, certainly worth its price, a feat not all games are worthy of IMHO.

Right on about both of these

New Vegas was just one giant expansion to Fallout 3.

Skyrim is definitely worth its price and should easily be Game of the Year.

It's still definitely a great a game, otherwise I wouldn't waste any time on it - and touch wood - still one of the least buggiest. I'm only just past the 70hr+ mark, and have had only one game freeze trying to blast open a magical door. I still haven't had the purple texture bug, although I did fight a Dragon that was missing the final texture layer last night. (At bloody Winterhold too - apparently there's and endless supply of them. I'm starting to regret relocating there

)

I'd be surprised if it didn't take GOTY.

Yeah they must have a nest near Winterhold cause every 4 or 5 visits there's a dragon attack

So I submitted a troubleshoot ticket to steam regarding my issue below. 4 days later and their response: "We are aware of the problem and are investigating the issue further." - That's it, nothing else. Oh well

OK, without giving away major spoilers can anyone tell me why these (red dot) are still locked despite me fully completing the main quest with those in red?

Completed but still locked

You can see the complete list for the main quest here - Skyrim:Main Quest - UESPWiki. All of those are done.

Here's a screen on some of my completed quests, note the inclusion of Unbound Bleak Falls.

Basically some of my stats/quests are not unlocking in Steam's achievement system. Oh well, moving right along.

That's about the ratio I'm getting too

I recall reading a dev interview somewhere prior to release that 'Dragons will be limited and not be appearing that often'. Yeah...

Seems the scripters didn't get that memo cause they're at the college so much you'd thing they were working on their masters degree in destruction

They obviously aren't passing the course cause I keep owning them.

Anyway I'm taking a break for a minute as I ready for the completion of the Thieves guide. Looks like I'm headed for the final showdown.

Later :)

I've found Oblivion lurking in my closet, dug it out, installing as we speak

it's pretty dusty:

I need to find the soul spell

Anyone do most of the Companions quest line?

Not sure how to phrase this without giving anything away for those who haven't but ...

I feel a bit silly....
I was getting near the end of the main companion quest lines before I even realized I had a daily power from helping them

That & Im not sure if I should keep it or not.
What did everyone else do? just curious
