So I started playing Skyrim last night and I have to say: What a Treat!
I spent a lot of time looting and enjoying the scenery. I only played for two hours, but in those two hours I felt like I was in a different world entirely. The game really sucks you in. I love the frigid landscape, the mountains and the waterfalls; it feels like you're in Beowulf.
But what I really appreciate is the slick menu system. You can see that Bethesda put a lot of effort into the menu. I find it interesting how they use typography (mostly font size actually) and subtle icons to indicate what's active on the menu and what's important. Most other games seem to go the garish-background and border-overload route to compartementalize the user interface. So I really like how Bethesda did Skyrim's menu. Very well done.
I will probably spend this weekend in my underwear playing more. Looking forward to it :)
