The good:

The wait function - better than Oblivion's
Player has vocalizations !! May make modding the voices easier !!



The bad:

How the heck do you alter the age of your character?
Voice acting - not as good as Oblivion so far


The Ugly:

Characters are butt ugly and very unrealistic and weird movements

I know I've already harped on this but...

Bad: Poor textures.

Not just the PC version, but I have seen mainstream reviewers (GameSpot, for instance) making quips about how the textures in this game look painted-on and not believable. Considering this is 2011, and Bethesda is using the exact same texturing solutions from their 2008 Fallout 3 engine, that is a bit of a gaping hole in their "overhauled game engine." I would have thought that rewriting the render would include improving the texture-mapping, but I guess not.

Also, yes. Day-one patches should be banned. Installation is done, but now I need to wait for that stupid 200+Mb day-one patch to download before playing. Whatever happened to to those good ol' days when devs didn't rely on patches?
