I have no idea was they were thinking. Or possibly, smoking. I just know it is an awful, awful title. However, if they end up with an actual title as awesome as Deus Ex: Human Revolution (which is cool, relevant and a thematic pun, holy shit), all will be forgiven, especially if the game itself is as good.
Ahahaha, well, Skyrim. It's a great game. The main quest is quite palatable, especially by Bethesda standards, but of course as with all Elder Scrolls games you play for everything that isn't the main quest - including the...two, three...hmm, five questlines that have no relationship to the main quest whatsoever. And the endless faffing about. You could faff around for a very long time. It's dumped a lot of Oblivion's stupid (though some remains), the setting is gorgeous, and the amount of work the devs put into the world is extremely impressive (I'm one of those people determined to collect every single book and buy a house with enough shelves to store them, complete with a rough cataloguing system and a chair to read them in). The lore is a bit daunting, but online sources are helpful. The glitches range from annoying to hilarious, but they're hardly gamebreaking.
The thing is that IT HAS NO END. If you enjoy the game, it will eat your life. Multiple characters created just because, endless wandering, spending an hour and a half in the swamp gathering alchemy ingredients, hammering out stuff in the forge, collecting priceless artifacts, trolling the Daedra...it's almost the exact opposite of Uncharted for me, which I play for a short sharp dose of action and awesome set pieces polished to a glittering shine rather than quiet, lonely ambling through mountains and meadows, chasing butterflies and launching arrows at things, and becoming bemused at the sight of my cheese wheels suddenly rolling wild and free over the floor of my kitchen and laboratory, knocking things over. ...Personally, I'd say finish Uncharted 3 first, or you might very well have lost your place by the time you come back to it from Skyrim.
