Console version? I have pretty much no loading screens at all on my PC, just flickers for a second. I never get time to read the bit of text in the bottom right <neg>.

Yeah console :( It makes a simple task of going into a tavern, speaking to someone and leaving again take forever. It's so frustrating.

Tempted to stick it back in and finish the Thieves Guild quest line though <scratch>

Umm If I remember rightly, I'd just got the skeleton key, so I'm pretty far into it I think. I've done all the Dark Brotherhood and College of Winterhold quests, but I got sidetracked doing the Daedric ones and never got round to finishing the Theives Guild.

Does anyone else find the problem with Skyrim is that you have to be in the mood to play it, and then you have to play for at least an hour to feel satisfied at the end. It's unlike Fifa where you can just play one match and stop.

Yep, its not as bad as Mass Effect 3 though. At least with Skyrim you can go on other games inbetween. Mass Effect seems to be like its Mass Effect or NOTHING.

I finished the main mission on Skyrim and now i have no urge at all to go back on and do dark brotherhood or thieves guild quests. The add on parts seem like theyve had horrible reviews as well.

The Thieves Guild questline was far more interesting than the main mission, in my opinion.

I got half way through the Mass Effect 3 campaign, and then my game froze and I've not been on it since. It's an excellent game so far, and it was probably just a one-time freeze. It's just I've never.. been in the mood to play it.

That was a month ago.

I did some main quest on Skyrim and that was so long ago I'm considering just starting all over again.

I've been in the mood to play it for over a solid month now <diva>. But then I've never been a huge enthusiast of Gaming, just tend to get amazingly enthusiastic about single specific games for ages.. sometimes years <worried>.

I managed to get myself back into F1 2011 (2012 comes out September), and now I want to keep playing it. Tried this with Skyrim and I just couldn't do it <grim>
