D'oh, realised I haven't posted a single other post in this, and I was the topic starter. Not Clever
I like the game, but it does feel smaller than Morrowind in a way.. are there less towns, or is it just the fact that you have to walk to places that makes the game feel rusty. But anyway, the + and -s of the game
+Good graphics, especially if you get the more realistic.... mods
+Really good for customisation, through mods
+The Radiant AI system isn't 100% revolutionary, as Ultima 7 used a similar system, but this is on a much much larger scale
+Nice quick travel function if you don't feel like footslogging half way accross the map to go and do that quest.
+The main point, really open ended, I haven't touched the main quest for a couple of weeks as I'm busy on the guild quests.
But on the other hand
-You do need as powerful a rig as you can get, and to get the best out of the system you do need to tweak the .ini file. I have a 3.2Ghz PC with 1GM RAM and a ATI FX 5600 XT which is just below the recommended specs, and it runs fine even without tweaking, but a faster processor and one of the new X100 video cards is reccommended.
-The game has obviously been designed with dual PC / X-360 usage designed, as the menus as consoleish (e.g. you can't have 2 different windows open at the same time)
-There are only about 4-5 generic NPC voices for male / female characters so it can sound repetative in some cases. The prime characters like Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart are good of course.
-Everything is tied to your level, there are no monsters weaker than you or impossible to beat (although there are some caps and monsters are challenging) - a minor niggle as there are a few mods around this, but it is a bone of contention for some people.
