My impression of Skyrim

Hello all

 

 

 

Been playing Skyrim for a bit now and got few things to say, consider this a review:

 

Graphics: 7/10

Graphics are kinda good and kinda bad, some things sucks whereas other things rocks. For instance the armors and face and people are really well textured, however things like snow are terrible. The tiles also irks me, but then again I blame TW2 for it's awesome texture/high poly models

 

 

Gameplay: 8/10

Gameplay had a HUGE improvement since oblivion. Magic had a certainly awesome overhaul, some effects do leave things to desire more. You can be anything you want in Skyrim, be it bearded Nord with a liking for 2h weaponry and destruction spells or be it a sneaky orc who likes bows.

 

Animations 5/10

The animations, sadly, sucks. Most of them do. The sprinting animation with dual blades, the jump animation (he is a Dovha, but come on, no need to flap his arm like wings), the walk/run animation with the left feet kind of twisting (mega irks me)

 

Sounds: 8/10

Sounds in Skyrim are highly immersive. Nothing I don't excatly like about it.

 

UI: 3/10

The UI absolutly sucks, sucks TERRIBLY bad. leaves a sore feeling in your mouth. If you are like me and have different layouts and armors and spells and shouts and weaponry for different situtations, then you too will agree with me that the current "Q" (Favourite system) is down right bulls*** for PC.

 

Overall: 6/10

This is Skyrim, I have waited a long time to play it, some things irks me, some things awes me. I dislike the fact that Steam is mandatory, I dislike the UI and Favourite System. However I love the armor and weapons and general combat. I give it a 6/10 overall, had the UI been better, I would have scored it a solid 8/10.

 

 

Something that left me mouth open (spoilers maybe)

 

 

The end fight with Alduin, in Sovrgard (sp) was one of the best boss fight I have had in many many games, the animations, sky, voice, shouts, music, EVERYTHING was absolutly mind blowing, this alone made the game worth it
