all the different music is pretty good, and interwoven nicely to appropriate situations. i like how the music doesn't stop when you tab out to your inventory screen and such, keeps the tension up nicely in the middle of a fight.
There are so many subtle yet masterful touches to this game that nobody bothers to mention here only because there are so many of them! For example, when you go up to a river stream with water rapids , you can catch fish that jump out as they are trying to swim upstream...counts as food! Of course, you can simply go swimming and catch fish that way.
Also some edible plant life varies from area to area, so it helps keep you on your toes about dismissing things as just part of the decor.
Plus the graphics actually look better than that with the community's additions.
I don't want to sound like a queer or nothin but that was really beautiful!

Don't worry. You sound like a straight man.

The fish and food is really cool, but they don't force you to eat like they did in New Vegas. The food in Skyrim really only gives you a few hp at most. Not much incentive to keep food in your belly...

yeah, once you level up a bit there is really no point to it. Seems to me they kinda missed the mark when balancing the benefits of good old fashioned eating, in comparison to other methods of health replenishment
Perhaps those are there for the DLC? That would be pretty awesome

Cue 50,000 teenage boys getting stiffies over those girls playing nerd-music. Also, 500,000 views for some jack-off smashing some power chords?
Props to 'em for figuring out the tune, though.

Went ahead and bought it. Not bothered by my rig not being able to run it on top notch quality, but exiting the caves after Helgen i'm having graphical issues which detract too much from the experience:

Looks like some models or textures being oversized.
Ideas for solving this?

The first video Dumb posted, they are shit at playing those instruments. He might aswell have posted some autotune shit.
Didn't bother with the 2nd video, cause it's probably just as shit if not even worse.
here is another one with their official theme song that's more upbeat and totally makes me want to play some more
