Not only that, but you don't have this big ass shield and sword all in your field of view when you're fighting and blocking. It helps to be able to see more than a partial of the guy trying to kill you. Especially when there are multiple dudes coming after you, where attack and defense strategy comes in to play.

1st person 99% of the time, I sometimes switch to 3rd person to check out how a new piece of equipment looks or if I can't find a chain to pull or a lever or something like that. The 3rd person view has been significantly improved, but it just doesn't feel right.
I have only joined the Dark Brotherhood before finishing the game, I figured I'll leave this quest line for another time. I remember it was by far the most fun quest line in Oblivion, and the horse looked badass.
As for huge dwemer robots - I was disappointed with them, to be honest. They look extremely "one man army" tough, but the only thing you need to defeat one is to avoid it's initial attack and stay behind it, delivering blows. I managed, without much trouble, to outmaneuver all 15 or so I've met this way.

Their is a mod that completely redoes the dwemer ruins and creatures. I havnt installed it but its supposed to fix what you mentioned.

There's also a mod that changes the 3rd person view. At present, I have the camera directly behind and above the character, instead of off to the side. It also fixes the zoom in/out when unsheathing/sheathing your weapon so that the camera distance stays the same, and extends the zoom limits. It really makes 3rd person perspective a lot better.

I was on youtube today and even in completely unrelated videos on motorcycles and whatnot the top comments were arrow to the knee jokes.

My favorite comment on that:

SKYRIM.

Just joined the stormcloaks and conquered Skyrim. My character is a level 27 Nord and is a jack of all trades. I'm focusing more on one handed combat, archery, light armor and destruction at the moment and have just recently dabbled in enchanting. I'm now doing miscelanious quests having beat the quest lines to The Dark Brotherhood, Main Quest, Thieves Guild and Mages College. Having turned into a werewolf awhile ago i'm thinking of going back to the companions and see what shananigans there up to. I really think that the next installment for the Elder Scrolls series is going live. The battles you get involved in are very similar to horde. Kind of a shame that the quest line to the Stormcloaks and I assume the imperials end with them conquering Skyrim with the threat of the thalmour still there. Now that I could see them making an expansion to. Overall, great game it has exceeded my expectations and manages to surprise me every time I play it. I really like how your forced to do a custom class. This makes it so however your playing style you level up faster. Favorite game of 2011 and best game i've played period.
