The scenery is impressive, I'll grant that. I'm not sure about the game menus, but that's me. And no subtitles? I certainly hope that's still an option like in Oblivion. Though since I'm not planning to purchase Steam, it's a moot point for me.

But the horses feel like a huge step backwards to me. They're not horses. They're oversized PONIES!!!

I just about fell out of my chair laughing in disgust at the sight of this big burly Nord (I assume he's a Nord, I've only seen him with his helmet on, mostly from behind) riding (and crooked, at that!) astride a Shetland pony!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, compare the way ponies move to the way horses move. Might as well be two different species, they're that different.

At least they gave the pony three gears (the ones in Oblivion only have two - walk and canter; the pony in Skyrim has walk, trot and canter). And the rearing on halt? What a joke!

Not only that, but the ponies are just plain ugly. What did Beth do, take some photographs of miniature horses and blow them up to Nord size? Give me back the Oblivion horses - at least they looked and moved like normal horses and not like some genetic freaks.
