Seeng as this is one of the major games missing a review thread I figured it was worth creating one so we can see how AVF members rate this game in comparison with other potential favourites ( See here for a list of other ratings threads -- Gears of War is currently the Forum's favourite game with 507 reviews and an average rating of 8.61! A 10 should only be given for a landmark game that sets new rules, a 9 for a truly excellent game without flaw, and an average game that does things right but nothing special should get a 5 (not a 7 or 8 like some would have you believe). |

I haven't played it enough really, but I can already see the differences between this and Morrowind. I gave it a 9 because I don't think that it is genre defining like Morrowing was.

It's testament to this games brilliance that I still play it frequently. I just love creating new & different characters/races and taking them down different paths. Outstanding.

This game is absolutley beautiful! - I play it all the time when I show people my HD PJ, the game just looks stunning and the scenery is impressive - it amazes me how they even squeezed it all onto a DVD.
Anyone who has never played it should try it out - I was never into RPG at all, but I decided to try it out because all the major game review sites gave it a 9/10 - I didn't regret it one bit!
The game is soo big and there is soo much to explore by yourself! |

a 10 from me. Without a doubt the most amazing game I have ever played. ok it has a few faults, but the sheer scale and quality takes it to a 10 for me. Outstanding title.

Contradicting what I put in another thread (  ) I gave it a 10. No other game like it has come close to dominating my time like this did.
Truly outstanding.

9/10
I belive this was the benchmark for the RPG game and others followed on like Fable 2 and Fallout 3.
Apart from my mistake of deleating my level 34 character with 110Hrs Played  but i think it missed that one little tiny thing that everyone loves.
Some form of multiplayer
Even if it was something as small as what fable 2 did while not co-oping with someone, the floating orbs it gives a sense that you can see other people playing and what they are up to.
apart from that.
Truly a EPIC RPG title, i hope Elder Scrolls 5 is on its way

Can't believe I never voted for this.
10/10
The most immersive game I've played this gen, possibly ever.

Voted 9.
This maybe sad, but i've sunk just over 1000 hours into this, since it came out a few years ago. This is the best game I have EVER played in my life (i'm 31). I've gone through every character and have memorised every single mission since I've played it so many times. Now that IS sad I admit, but, cor blimey this is a game and a half.
I was utterly overwhelmed when I started it, but once you get the hang of it and the magic its an epic title.
A must for RPG fans

I played this game for about 2/3 hours and got dispondent with it a couple of years ago.
I wish I hadn't traded it in, as these days, it would be exactly the kind of game I want to get stuck into. The only thing I remember though, is I felt like I was missing something with the combat, and swinging my sword and never hitting a thing... almost like there was a target lock on button someone had failed to inform me about!
