This is not a flamebait thread.
I started ES first with morrowind and i loved it but ES kept losing its magic since then but that's not the point of this thread.
I just want to know why is that Skyrim got such high praise when I see is:
Bad animation- I've seen better animation is free to play mmos
Graphics average
Very buggy
Awful Combat which hardly improved since ES3
Ofc there are many good points for the game but if this was any other the game people would have dug the grave for those games for having the above flaws.
