It's Elder Scrolls
There's nothing here that will attract a player put-off by previous instalments and mostly nothing surprising for old players. I however found the extra graphic fidelity and wow factor of dragon fights to be well worth the asking price.
The game is full of bugs, though the worst offenders seem to be fixed now, yet veterans will be used to overcoming these hurdles as they become more and more engrossed in exploring the world of Skyrim.
Personally, I preferred the updated level up system that appears to react more closely to what you actually do in the game. I've heard complaints that not strengthening your block ability can break the game, but I am unable to comment on that in my current play through. However, at over 100 hours in I'm not sure when I will start another!
