Ok, so I caved and purchased Skyrim when I swore up and down it was a silly game and I had no interest in it.
My eyeballs have been thoroughly spoiled I knew of some of the voice actors (Haku's voice from spirited away, cool!) The glitches actually amuse me And two weeks later I am still finding stuff to do. I just became the arch mage, I am awesome. Discuss the crack that is Skyrim. | ||||

I couldn't put the game down for about a month when it first came out, played through it with two characters up to level 50 or so, but then... I just lost interest.
My main gripes were the lack of variety in enemies, especially at high levels; the saddening disparity between unique equipment and the overpowered stuff you can craft (even without any exploits); how short and uninspired (in my opinion) the main quest line was; and how tacked-on and likewise-short the various guild questlines were. All in all, I feel like the game has a huge WOW! factor, but once you really dig into it... there's not all that much to it. Raiding a randomly-generated bandit camp for the 300th time got kind of boring for me after a while. I would've liked to have seen a lot more variety in pretty much every aspect of the game to increase replayability. Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion between supposed lovers. Between supposed brothers. | ||||

Don't all games eventually cause people to lose interest after a while?

Eventually, yes. I should have mentioned, most of the things I had issues with were in comparison to Oblivion. I felt like they actually went backwards in those areas.
Still, Blackreach was worth the money and time to me on its own. Spent 4 hours wandering around that place each playthrough. Stunning. On that note, I did like the improvement in the dungeon design, I just wish all the dungeons had been like the uniques, though I understand that's likely unfeasible.

I haven't got the game yet, however, played it at my friend's house
I really liked it however I haven't got the dragon killing down that well got oblivion though, i seem to have a talent at getting myself stuck between rocks and finding other glitches Belial you are so right that games can become boring over time some people lose interest in games a lot faster than others my boyfriend for example at most seems to play games for a month or two before getting bored excluding some war games he has, while I could set down and play games for months on end, without getting bored, so I guess it depends on the game but also the person | ||||

I usually fast travel somewhere to get unstuck.
I just found out you can drop food in a tavern and people will fight over it, holy cow that is funny as hell. And dragons usually come at the worst time for me, I'm shopping in a town and next thing I know a dragon LANDS right on me. . . . In the middle of a town Guess I need better armor. . . And I should see if I can get the flying horse glitch. I didn't see the spinning into the sky thing yet but I did in Fable 3. I thought it only happened in Skyrim. Either way, I know glitches shouldn't be in a game but it's hilarious to me anyway. | ||||

Great game, loved it for quite awhile and it can become tedious. Sometimes your walking or riding on horses for 10-20 minutes just searching for something to do, and quests sometimes consist of finding a location, killing/finding someone and returning for your reward.
Still, the game is quite addicting if I i spread out my game time with it. Looting is always the white powder that gets me playing. | ||||

That is true, all the wandering does get tiresome.
I'll get a quest and nothing is around to fast travel to. The 25 gems quest is kind of a pain, I have 13 so far but the perk you get for it pays nicely I hear. Still, So many locations so far apart puts me off my tea. One in the Thalomar embassy that apparently needs a key you can't get. | ||||

Haha oh my I remember when I first got Skyrim. I had an absolute wonderful time running through towns leveling up my various capabilities, and then using the little alchemy glitch to boost the hell out of my stats making me one shot dragons leaving them unsure of what to do. They would fly off the ground, and then fly around for a bit before deciding I guess it's time to land and die.
The game was rather entertaining for a while, and I would constantly make new characters specializing them in different things, and honestly the most amusing thing was the most boring as well. I made a character with max sneak, and would run around in my dark brotherhood get up doing 30x damage killing everyone in one hit that I pleased then to boot at 100 sneak I got shadow warrior. That made me able to one shot anyone I want at any time that I wanted. Except of course dragons, and other little things that did not lose sight of you through invisibility. In all honesty though I have not even finished the entire game. I went to the top of the mountain fought Alduin on all my characters, and then I got bored of the story went around destroying things and doing side-quests instead. | ||||
