Totally psyched for Skyrim, going to the midnight launch. I'm likely going to screw up my sleep schedule playing it.

Skyrim. Skyrim. Skyrim.
 
My friend picked up his reserve copy today and the entire day was pretty much him on Skyrim and me on League. Amazing game. OMG its amazing XD
 
Seemed less repetitive than oblivion, exploration is something and it will really surprise as far as vastness is concerned in both the map and options/leveling options.

Just finished BF3 campaign (with mouse almost fixed, in 7 straight hours of gaming) - I would give it 9/10 they really did an incredible job.  Desire to go SLi rising

I think a large part of the remaining mouse bug is framerate drop - I'm running 2560*1440 on a gtx570...

One thing I'm enamored by skyrim is its extraordinary soundtrack. I had to exit the game to download the floating copy around the net and find the track that I was looking for and put it on repeat for hours. EPIC score. Jeremy Soule does it again.

Quick question on Skyrim since I'm too lazy to search...
 
1) Are the dungeons randomly generated like in Oblivion?
2) Is the leveling system more like Fallout 3 and do you still need to sleep in a bed to level up?
 
Honestly I should know all this, but I skip any and all reviews to not ruin the game.
 
I'm working hard today  just to be able to play it.

i didn't even bother with the sp campaign...
 
i've got a 6970 (which is similar to your GTX570 in perf.) and also run the game @ 2560x1440 and the card is really struggling at that res, i'd go crossfire if the 6970 wasn't so hot and loud. once new cards come out i'll go crossfire/sli depending on who brings out the most powerful GPU...
 
 
 
as for the OP
 
Skyrim - 7.5/10 disappointing.

Is Skyrim anything like Oblivion? I hated Oblivion (on the PC) - measly character animations and a dialogue system that left much to be desired (Rumors?). Enjoying BF3 very much (9/10). Would've given it a 9.5 if it wasn't for the mediocre SP.

Been playing Skyrim for a few hours.
 

 
Morroblivion? More like Fallowind if you ask me

Very short version; Morrowind+fallout 3
I'm not much of a rpg fan but i absolutely loved the way morrowind played. Being a old skool fallout fan i loved fallout 3.
I really enjoy that the flow of the story feels more like morrowind than oblivion and the exploring/dungeons feel more like fallout 3 than oblivion.
Oblivion was good but very static. Dungeons and oblivion gates where fun but repetitive. A daedric great sword with soul steal+life leech and a black soul gem was way to easy... Thats without the crazy bufs from enchanted daedric armor
 
I might even sit this one out, hell maybe even beyond the story line....
