I thought Oblivion was dissatisfying, but this one is a tremendous load of crap. Bethesda Shovelworks should continue outsourcing their game design, because it's apparently something they can't do anymore. There was a time that Bethesda loved game design more than profits, but now that they've turned that on it's head, they should use those profits to hire a company that hasn't been eaten up by a corporate culture that is self-defeating to game production.
In terse: Shallow gameplay. Painfully poor story. Voices slightly less lackadaisical than Oblivion but nowhere near the enthusiasm of Shivering Isles. Bethesda used to have a stable of fine, developing talent; do they realize there's a problem that they couldn't get those voice actors back? Did they even notice the decline in their performance between Morrowind and Oblivion? This game may be rescued by the talented and dedicated mod community, but Bethesda doesn't deserve a cent it received for this lemon.
