Well I have about 20 hours into it now thanks to getting sick and taking off work that last few days and I can say that once i got over some initial hurdles that game is not as bad I had heard. Let me just say that it is not as polished as oblivion and thats for sure. This game is not Oblivion and i think that is the problem. A lot of people though that this game would be to that level and were disappointed when it didn't meet the Gold Standard everyone expects from these types of games.
Once i got over the fact that this games has some quirks (inventory system, maps, loading times, etc.) it is really a very fun game. Once I figured out how to enhance and combine items and spells it made the game significantly more fun and i am really enjoying the game now. I am about 1/3 of the way through the main quest and spend most of my time exploring this huge area.
I may post more info as i progress in the game but now that I have spent some time with it I am pleased to see it is growing on me.
So far just about everyone who has played more then 2 hours has said this. It's kinda like Diablo. Alot of gear and the inventoy system at least. The game was never meant to be an Oblivion. It's more hack n slash to me.
Anyhow, how do you stack weapon on the 360 version? What do you press to drag them over each other?
