Technical issues could ruin moments for some players
It's too easy to go into "sneak" mode when backing up with the control stick
Long load times in the Xbox 360 version (sadly
We don't know if this applies to the PS3 or PC version). Bethesda sent GamePro the Xbox 360 version of The Elder Scrolls V

Abstract: It's impossible to give Skyrim a complete review. Boasting somewhere in the region of 300 hours of gameplay, Skyrim is arguably Bethesda's most ambitious title yet. With so much to do its nigh-on impossible to deconstruct the game's many subtle intrica...

Abstract: Xbox 360You know a game is going to be a big one when its guide is almost the same width as a copy of the Bible. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive role-playing adventure which is bursting at the seams with content, detail and improvements upon i...
Yet overall, Skyrim does deliver a profound experience. The main storyline is interesting enough to make you want to see it through to the end, and the sometimes random encounters you will have with dragons will keep things exciting and bursting out o...
Abstract: So, Elder Scrolls – where do we even start? Few names command as much respect from the gaming world as Bethesda Softworks’ fantasy RPG, and to call The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim “the most anticipated RPG of 2011” would not be the least bit inaccurate. De...
Abstract: It's been five years since Bethesda has rolled out a proper Elder Scrolls title. Sure, Oblivion got a couple of expansion packs in 2006 and 2007, but hardcore fans have been defacing the internet with their impatience for years. Luckily, the folks over...
