[Izak80]

So is the Xbox 360 really inferior to pc-version graphicwise

[ZeitgeistReview]

@Izak80 Ha, OH YES. This is true for pretty much every game though.

I love how he can go from sounding really professional to 'easier to kill that motherfucker' so quickly.

[ZeitgeistReview]

@GamingXenia That's my style.

Go to your spells menu to see your active effects and turn on subtitles if you can't hear the NPCs.

[ZeitgeistReview]

@Vatoftoxicwaste Active spell effects should be right in plain sight on your UI.

Yay you play in 3rd person to!!!!!!!

[dwcai81]

There is a lack of variety for monsters, weapons, and sidequests. The interface is terrible. While this game is an improvement over Oblivion, its not as good as Daggerfalll or Morrowind.

[jlglast]

Excellent review, I love the game myself but it's not perfect and I hate how pretty much any review just brushes at times pretty glaring issues under the carpet. Don't mind the haters.

[RatedRAli]

what mod did you use for better textures?

[tupacole]

To you these kind of games are meant to be played on 3rd person?????? wtf are u talking about dude? i have watched a lot of your reviews and although u claim u are an rpg fan, u have

ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY no idea what u are talking about when it comes to rpg's.u play Skyrim for 40 hours, Amalur for 25 and then u say u dont like the games so much.these types of rpg's are meant ot be played for hundreds of hours.

@Izak80 I lol at the thought of xbox being graphically superior to the PC and I play most of my games including skyrim on the xbox. That said, xbox version looks AWESOME, especially on a big fullhd screen. And the controlls are way better. But yes "if" (I certainly can't as a poor student) you can pay for a huge full hd monitor and a top of the line pc (you can even buy a microsoft xbox controller for PC) it looks much better on pc .. not to mention the texture mods etc.

If the animations are so "wonky" show us how to properly shoot a fireball while running,

or maybe show us how to properly use a staff of magnus .

[rG1vZ]

a heavily modded skyrim is the best game ever :D :D :D

a

[oboyy]

Obviously, you play on normal difficulty and expect a challenge.

I dare you to play on hard, let's see if you even make it through

[Swidhelm]

Hey, if you're still playing this, and haven't checked it out yet, get the SkyUI mod. Vastly improves the inventory ui. Also, BOSS, a sorting mod.
