I'm one for fleshed out characters with a personality...though that might make me a little eccentric
I have a nord character named Katie, she's a cold hearted killer with an odd heroic streak, and a dark elf named Ninn, she's a goofball bandit and theif who wants people to like her.
From what I've seen, Skyrim looks incredible! I want it NOW!
Just the opening part in the wagon (from watching videos), then choosing race, had me hooked on it and I don't even own it. The graphics are not Final Fantasy 13 by any means, but after being used to Oblivion, I'd say they're beautiful. That's really saying something when even a graphically modded New Vegas doesn't look as good as the Skyrim I've seen. Skyrim really looks impressive, especially what I've heard about the NPCs, story and dragons...
Is it really as great as it looks, to those who are playing right now? Were you enthralled when you first started?
I'm so excited to get it I really hope I get it soon.
I agree that the hair looks bad, but that's nothing new. All I have to do if the character models are bad is wait for a few mods to come out that improve those things.
The wait is killing me....
