Well, a 100% of the people run into 1% of the bugs. Bugthesda
But the game is of epic proportions as Bethesda hired a slew of content developers.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

This will gather dust until I finish Dark Souls. So close...
I expect Skyrim to be buggy, I also expect to lose a lot of time foraging around it's chilly landscapes killing all manner of unpleasant creatures and generally being some kind of Nomadic Orc legend who only occassionally comes into town wandering into the storyline when its convenient.
I fucking loved Oblivion.

Get oblivion. You get all the DLC bundled in and all the mods to make it work properly have already been written. It will keep you amused until skyrim is cheap enough to consider and working properly
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

For you folks who want to play Oblivion, read this bit:
Warning: links to spoilers within
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Leveling
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Hey, I know for a fact that Christwire is heavily, and secretly, funded by the Landover Baptist Church, so it 199% legit-ish. Sorta.

That's SOP with Elder Scrolls games. I'll get myself a copy... maybe a year from now, when it has all the adequate patches and has gotten cheaper to boot.

Well get them to praying for better, more elegant satirists. To out-groups, ideologues beliefs and behaviours are in and of themselves funny , exaggeration, I think, lessens the impact. I love such stuff but it loses ground when it's obviously parody. "10 ways to Witness in World of Warcraft" "Are Nintendogs used by Witches as Familiars?" "Skyrim: W.W.J.D? A Christian investigates."
That sort of thing.

The name of this game causes me to think it's about tonguing anuses.
