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

It seems Skyrim is rather forceful about you joining the College of Winterhold. In order to complete the Main Quest, for instance, you need to join the College, and there is also a major side-quest in the game that requires College membership to complete. Kinda puts a damper on the roleplaying when you are trying to do certain quests a certain way and then you are forced outside of your character's expertise just to continue things. My Bosmer is an archer, always will be. He rarely uses magic, most of the time Alchemy suits his needs just fine. But so far, I count two quests (one Main, one Side) that forced membership to the College of Winterhold on me. And now that the quest has kicked into gear, it just seems wrong to ignore it.

But I don't care. I've got what I wanted, so the College can go spin. My Guild is the Thieves Guild, and I have no intention of being a member of any other any longer than absolutely necessary to suit my needs.

Indeed. This is something I found very disappointing with Skyrim actually, not only having certain things forced on you but the fact that there's very few choices in this game to really define your characters personality. Wish there was more depth to this game.

Edit: Finally got the arrow adjustments in the .ini file to work and after clearing out the bandits in the fort outside Whiterun I tested a bit with the training dummies they have on the walls. Things got a lot easier now with a more natural arrow arc and once I got "calibrated" I didn't have too much difficulties hitting static targets at what I'd say is about 300 feet. Why Bethesda even implemented that "arc compensation" as you called it Thomas is beyond me.
