The game is amazing and when I started it I was in complete awe of how beautiful it is. I can't understand how people can complain about the graphics. I also defended almost everything about the game because there are limitations, brought on by the engine, by money and by time. But asI got closer to the end, a few things started to really irk me. The biggest and most glaring was doing quests for the Dark Brotherhood. - I killed the Emperor's cousin in cold blood in front of over a dozen people and I just had to pay a fine??? - I killed the fake emperor and several people saw me as I escaped -they obviously know my face as I am a thane in Solitude. But pay my fine and all is forgiven? - The Emperor knows that the Dark Brotherhood will get him but he doesn't bother having two or more guards standing next to him at least until he gets back to Cyrodil? This could easily have been fixed by creating some kind of disguise or Dark Brotherhood armor that HAD to be worn during their executions and you HAVE to run away or stand and fight. That's just sloppy as all hell. I applaud Bethesda for giving a possibility of destroying the Dark Brotherhood -though it's very easy to miss. Honestly I would have also liked a possibility of taking out the Thieves Guild. And I married Derkeethus, the Argonian -so why is he never at my home that I asked him to stay at and always running back to Darkwater Crossing? I ask him how the store is and he gives me money, but when he's in Darkwater Crossing he just hangs out in a tent. There are far too many cool things that happened in the game for me to mention and over-all I absolutely loved the game, but once the Dark Brotherhood quests started taking off it really kind of put a damper on it. Especially a contract to kill Narfi -that I refused to carry out. It should have told me who requested the Narfi kill so I could show them the pointy end of my Sword. As long and involved as the game is I take a dozen or so false starts to get used to it and decide which race/sex I want to look at for the entire game -then I play through once. I doubt I'll ever play it again even with mods. Still, I feel I got my money's worth.
