Well considering the fact I have put over 95 hours into it I would say there is nothing like an open world rpg that completely immerses you into its experience to suck up more of your life than you ever thought possible. I suggest going to read multiple reviews about it for yourself, because it is not the game that you can simply hate just for kicks.
I'm getting Skyrim in a few days, but from the videos I've seen it looks great. This along with all the other video games I'm getting are going to take a lot of time to play, good thing winter break is coming up.
