That game can be a huge time drain
The first time I played through Skyrim I did just about everything you could do... I forget what my overall level was but I was playing a two-hand warrior and was pretty much maxed out on everything by the time I faced the main baddie... which turned out to be pretty anti-climactic given my level and gear at that point.
My biggest complaint about that game is that it scales so poorly... the game does spawn tougher enemies as you get higher levels, but it's easy to outpace what they can throw at you, and once you get to the high levels it turns into a cakewalk.

My favorite part of the scaling is at level 22 I can crush dragons, but get smoked by mammoths. It cracks me up.

I always find it annoying when they limit weapons and equipment by level; it seems especially pointless in this one because there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot of difference... might change as I advance to higher levels.

I don't think you've made it far enough if you haven't had to use magic yet.

I actually like that the world is open and you can run into stuff that'll just wipe you out like that; keeps you on your toes.

COD has steadily gone downhill since COD4 Modern Warfare. IMO of course.

A new one comes out soon. Just wait a month.

I like the games style. I just don't think I'd ever care about the gameplay.
