It's called Replayability, dude. Also it prevents being even more OP than the player already is. Other than that, you can just cheat yourself to all the perks if you really want to do that. Nothing is actually preventing you from getting them if you really want them all.

Seriously, I'd be more afraid of the bears than of the spiders :pinch:

Guys wtf? Use paragraphs if you expect people to read your posts.

During the main quest I once faced a dragon and 10+ Forsworns at the same time at master difficulty. EPIC battle. Incredible hard, but lots of fun and incredible to win stuff like that against all the odds.

By that logic you could theoretically wear 10+ rings, couldn't you? Would be too OP thought.

103. Yeah! http://steamcommunity.com/id/XQYZ/stats/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim?tab=achievements

If only they could add some sort of armor ... for horses. Well, one can only hope.

Yeah and it works very well.

I hope this isn't too big of a spoiler, but will there still be dragon souls (ie. dragons) after the main quest or do you need to collect some souls before you finish it to unlock all the shouts?

Same for me. It crashed 4 times for me so far in 45 hours of playing it (yes, I played Skyrim ~17 hours a day so far). Personally I take it as a reminder to go eat something and open the window for a few minutes.

First time picking up Nirnroot I was like "Please don't trigger a quest, please don't trigger a quest". I have a quest now where you need 20 nirnroot and some other plants for some alchemist. I sure hope that will be all of I'll have to collect.

Oddly I prefer the controller for this (even though I never used it for anything but racing games I got used to it pretty quickly). The menu system just feels REALLY weird with the mouse. So unless somebody mods it to be like Oblivion I'm going to stick with the gamepad for now.

I'd say nothing too major until about a week/few weeks in, because even modders want to get an impression of the game first. Before that only smaller "fixes" for stuff certain people find "too annoying" (eg. lockpicking or stuff like that).

That list was pretty mediocre (One Disc as a feature, seriously? I'd take 200 discs if it means we're going to have an even more awesome game). Personal favorite so far seems to be the conversations and how people react to your actions. Seems like they improved on that A LOT since Oblivion and I'm sure it'll enrich my experience while playing it immensely.

This. Not possible with steam. You cannot launch games if Steam knows that there is a patch available (ie. you activate it it checks for one) until it is downloaded and installed. So unless you pirate it as-well, no chance of playing an unpatched game.
