Whhhaaaaaatttt? I like the Dark Brotherhood clothes... And it fits the style of Skyrim imo. I mean, it's supposed to be 200 years after Oblivion. And the clothes seem more.. eh.. up-to-date rather than the medieval outfits from Oblivion. Plus, it's cold in Skyrim. Can't be wearing something as simple as a loose cloak like before.
My wife made a comment about that, because of the way the graphics show the change when you harvest the plants.
All you do is go around and kill everything. You see a cute fox, you kill it. You see a butterfly, you kill it. You see a plant, you kill it. (I was picking up a Nirnroot at the time.)
I told her, hey, this is not a polite and civilized world. It is kill or be killed out here. You saw me walk up to those guys at the campfire and they started attacking me, to rob and kill me. (They failed - dual casting fire is SO cool, especially in 3rd person view.)

Hi guys. I'm level 26 now and the only problem I got at the moment is the amount of quests. There's like 40 active ones:)I'm trying to prioritize them, as I'm sure many do, according to their geographical location but that doesn't help much. That leaves just enough space for exploring and, lets not forget, sightseeing!
As a breton mage, I've wasted 2 perks on archery, sadly (although I did really need it at the beginning at while I was farming experience on mammoths and giants, shooting arrows while my magicka fills up). That's the only bad move I made. The rest is pretty much well organized: destruction, restoration, alteration (only few perks), lockpicking and enchanting (one of favorites).
Leveling up is now logically a lot harder so I'm buying points from trainers from time to time to speed things up. My companion, Lidia, is armored as a tank. I've given her best armor and weapons I've found, created and enchanted.
The game is far from being dull right now. When I get tired of snow, I switch back to exploring green zones on the map.
And 1 hour in game will mean 20 minutes in real life.
Traveling from one of the corners of the map takes like 3 hours and you can still have the buff from the well rested which gives you 10% faster skill learning

I never use fast travel but considering Tamriel is quite scaled down if you wish to truly RP Skyrim you won't touch the time scale.
Both Skyrim and Cyrodiil are say about 30 square kilometers. That makes a total of what 60 square kilometers. So as horses are faster than McLaren MP4-12 you can run that in about an hour. Now considering that the climate changes from tropical to arctic in such a small area leads to two conclusions either Nirn is smaller than Pluto or the super obvious one that everything is indeed scaled down. Now, if everything is scaled down, time should indeed flow faster. Thus traveling between two distant downs takes days, not minutes. I want to see the super medieval horseman who managed to take the distance between London and Edinburg in 1 hour, and still this is an analogy with a single country not a whole continent.
That said... The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall took place in High Rock and Hammerfellm and they were
161,600 square kilometers which is half the size of Great Britain. Now, considering that High Rock and Hammerfell are about 1/4th of Tamriel we can make an estimate that it's territory is something like 600,000 square kilometers which is roughly the size of France. You can't cross France in 1 or 2 hours with a car let alone with a horse. So timesc.....WHAT THE HELL AM I ON ABOUT!
