So I am incredibly excited, and I've been reading reviews for Skyrim all morning. One thing I've taken particular note of, is the number of hard freezes, or lock-ups, that the various reviewers are reporting. In his review, Brad said he had experienced four lock-ups during his time with the game. Justin McElroy, over at Joystiq, said he had five. These occured over a period of roughly sixty hours for both reviewers.
That number is pretty high. However, these incidents were apparently not enough to make a large enough impact to affect score, as both Brad and Justin ended up giving the game five stars.
How do you guys feel about these hard freezes? Are they enough to make you think twice about Skyrim? Or will you diligently save, and prepare for the inevitable, in order to get your RPG fix?
For me personally, I hate crashes, but I played Morrowind on the Xbox, dude. That game locked-up on me twice a day, and I still put hundreds of hours into it. Plus, the fact that the game apparently keeps your last three autosaves should help.
