This is more a collection of nitpicks. I love Skyrim, but I wanted to point out as much as I could that is wrong with it so the next game can be better.

Firstly, a little backstory. I loved Fallout: New Vegas, and I found a little enjoyment out of Daggerfall and Arena, so I decided to see how BethSoft handled Skyrim.

I got my copy the Christmas after the Legendary Edition came out. Appropriate, since it is a winter-themed game. I plop it in the ol' 360 (my second out of three, this one bit the dust a while later, taking my save with it) and HOLY COW, DRAGONS!

I spent every moment I could playing Skyrim, but over time, I noticed a lot of small little things that made me start nitpicking. Unless I really look for them, they're hard to notice, but here goes.

1. Sexualized female plate armor. Yeah, I know not a lot of people care, but with that ridiculous boobmoulded armor, one hit to the cleavage will shatter the sternum, leaving the victim dying a painful death. That's why armor is slanted OUTWARDS, not INWARDS.

2. Archery is practically useless early on, since bows do so little damage without perks or better arrows/bow materials. It took me 10 arrows to knock out ONE BANDIT.

3. No survival mode

4. Graphics fade-in, especially on consoles. On PC, the grass roars on into the distance, on 360... no, not so much.

5. Everything made of metal, stone or glass looks like someone dumped a bucket of water on top of it and they haven't dried it.

I'm big fan of the world of skyrim. love it!
