Although still second in my heart to Morrowind. I don't actually think there's a game that will displace it, because I just love the setting so much.
I am enjoying that so far, Skyrim is indulging my apparent need to belong to ALL the factions. Like, I will have to pick Imperials or Stormcloaks at some point (presumably), but so far I can belong to the Thieves Guild AND the Companions AND the College of Winterhold, whereas in Morrowind, you'd eventually hit a quest that involved betraying one guild for another and refusing it blocked you from advancing any further in rank.
I am trying to decide who I want to marry. Right now I'm leaning toward Aela the Huntress (she is so awesome, you guys), but apparently if you marry Camilla Valerius, she opens her own store. Love or money, the eternal question. (ETA: I CHOSE MONEY. If I regret the decision, apparently the only way to "divorce" in Skyrim is turn into a werewolf and eat your spouse while transformed - because then they're dead, but you technically didn't kill them - the wolf did it! As a surprisingly large number of people have discovered, if you murder your spouse, you do not get to just pick up a new model. Oh, Bethesda.)
Also, EVERYTHING IS SO PRETTY. Like, the random garden in the Archmage's quarters? I just want to stare at it.
