Cons:
-Bad combat system
-Side quests are quite boring and no longer unique after playing a few of them
-NPC interactions are not that unique after playing for a few hours
-Clunky animations
-Poor graphics

Summary;
The game itself is entertaining and it can suck you into the world and make you forget about time, The cons I mentioned can be easily fixed or removed by installing mods, mods can improve the game rapidly and enhance the game even more,which will make you love the game much more. As the modding community is always trying to improve the game. You cannot play skyrim without installing mods. For an old game it is still far better than a lot of games out there now. This game is a must buy, my favourite game of all time

Overall rating:
