Haha, yeah I know it's a great game but don't even get me started at how annoying it is
I was dying all the time and at times had to repeat like 40 minutes of gameplay. Which often consisted of just getting to a location where I would die again.
From last year's RPGs I preferred the Witcher 2. I haven't tried Skyrim though, but I've heard that it takes too much time to complete.
