Carl B. of RoboAwesome.com writes, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will no doubt receive praise here on RoboAwesome, and it certainly should. It’s by far the greatest Western RPG of all time, beating out previous Elder Scrolls titles along with Jade Empire and Mass Effect 2. With over 20 hours on the game, I can’t help but notice some crucial flaws with the game — things that aren’t nit-picky. These flaws break immersion and make the game frustrating and hard to play."

I have an arrow that's been stuck in me forever....
Level scaling...it's noticable again
New vegas fixed this...Skyrim should of nicked it
Still....can't wait to play it. Of course by the time I have a gap big enough in my gaming all of these bugs will be fixed.
I hate that I can't dual wield shields. Worst game ever.
