I didnt know what to expect at first when I had heard that there were no longer going to be stats in the game. But the way that, and more or less everything else was executed has waylaid any and all doubt I had in my mind whatsoever.
For starters, there is no longer any gear durability. That's right, you no longer have to repair your gear which IMO is freakin' awesome.
Secondly, every time you clear a dungeon, you'll get a little "flag" next to it's name on your in game map telling you that you've cleared it. Meaning that you no longer have to guess if you've been in that random area you've just discovered on the way to your latest quest or not.
Thirdly, the graphics are just absolutely stunning. Im not really big on graphics myself but for those players that are I assure you that you most likely will not be disappointed in the slightest. The atomosphere has a darker and grittier feel to it like Morrowind had which is a huge plus in my opinion. However, if you're looking for anything other than snow and mountains everywhere you look, you may be disappointed.
Next, the 3rd person camera is much better this time. They essentially just made it like FO:3 and NV where you not only have your crosshair in 1st person, but 3rd as well.
I cant really comment on the main story as to whether or not it was done well or not because Ive yet to really do any of it beyond the first town. Reason being, Im still doing side quests and Dark Brotherhood stuff and plan to finish most of those before I start anymore on the main story. But what I have played of it, is pretty impressive IMO.
And lastly, DUAL WIELDING!!! I dont think I should have to say anything beyond that. It essentially doubles your potential offensive strength. The only downside and literally, the ONLY downside is that you cannot block and have to rely completely on your own ability to dodge and evade incoming attacks.
So what are you waiting for? Stop reading and press "keep it" o
