Sure, it's not Skyrim, but not everything has to be an absolute masterpiece in order to be a great game. As a Bethesda/Obsidian fanboy, I loved every second of this game, and it definitely satiated the itch for an Elder Scrolls game for now. The only times I found myself having any complaints was "in Skyrim, you can do (x, y, z)" which I don't think is a bad thing. It doesn't need to be an exact copy of Skyrim. I'll definitely be playing it quite a bit. I hope there's a sequel!
