Well, 4 hours in and I'm loving the game. Already halfway to level 6, and am greatly enjoying the new game mechanics (Smithing) - being able to craft some basic armor, and more importantly improve my armor & weapons is a real plus, especially since I'm playing a Thief type character. Enjoying the skill Perks system, too - although it does put constraints on advancing your abilities somewhat. Definitely loving the bow & arrow combat, as always (it's so nice being able to put away a drawn arrow without having to shoot it into the ground!), and likewise for the sneaking & sneak attacks. The game world of course is gorgeous (although there's definitely texture popping going on, but maybe I can tweak that some), and the animations seem to be a bit of an improvement over Oblivion. All in all, I think this will be a vast improvement over Oblivion in many ways (although I still miss that alien world of Morrowind).
Looks like I'll be playing this one for a long time to come.
