Although every man, woman, game reviewer and their cat has said this, I might as well jump onto the band wagon and confirm that Skryim is a GREAT game. The side quests usually vary (Although a lot of them are just go to location x and kill a certain number of enemy type Y) and the NPCs actually look like they're talking to you (I.E. They don't stare directly into your eyes for the entirety of the dialogue). The combat is fairly challenging, and the number of spells you can use is sufficient. However, the melee weapons are slightly underwhelming compared to games like Condemned 2. It's usually rather anti-climatic when you're using melee weapons to attack somebody, you hit them and their reaction is equivalent to the reaction of a man getting hit by a piece of paper. However, these are small complaints, and overall the game is very solid and I'd highly recommend it.
