It took a 137 hours, but I have finally finished the game. I reached level 50 and got all the achievements (that last dragon soul was proving elusive as the dragons kept flying away). That ancient dragon chomped me a couple of times too (insta kill).
Overall I love the game, but the crash bugs and graphical bugs are numerous. I'm not sure how much of that is my video card. Like near the end of the main quest sometimes I could see the fog, sometimes I couldn't. I also seen a dragon fly backwards. 3 hard lockups in one day (2 days ago) requiring computer reboots. More than 20 crashes to desktop. Yet I still love the game. Go figure.
I still prefer Bioware games in some ways. I still like Dragon Age over this game. I just wish Bioware would learn from these guys and create a world that isn't so closed and linear. You can't have everything I guess.
I don't think you can have both a perfect sandbox and a perfect story line currently. Story usually needs some kind of linear level design somewhere, in order to advance the plot. I'd love to see a procedurally generated story line in a sandbox game, but I think that's a lot of AI that hasn't even been theorized yet.
