I am having a blast with this game. My only gripe is that I just can't get anything done that I want to get done! I sit down each night with the intention of finishing off the Thieves Guild questline, and something always comes up to distract me.
I was sent by a Guild side job to Markarth, which I hadn't visited yet. Closest waypoint I had was near Solitude, in fact. So I start my long journey and of course get sidetracked by a few dragons, dungeons, "ooh shiney!" moments and miscellaneous quests. Finally make my way to Markarth only to discover that there is an extremely compelling storyline starting up as soon as I enter town! So now the thieves guild is on hold while I finish that up, and of course I have a few side jobs in Markarth that look interesting so I will probably have to do those too.
Meanwhile I have the aforementioned thieves guild storyline to do, I just finished the first step in the Dark Brotherhood quest, I'm only partway through the INTRO to the main quest, I have a log full of miscellaneous quests and other minor/major questlines, and I'm level 26 already. I haven't even visited about half of the major cities yet either. I think I'll skip the Companions & mage guild quests on this playthrough.
Stupid game.
