This is why I like demos so I can see what it's like for myself - I've bought games that I enjoyed that I wouldn't have bought otherwise by going by the review alone. Drakan and Severance: Blade of Darkness come to mind. I didn't even read any reviews for Divinity 2 - I bought it by liking what I saw in the demo, having seen reviews (of the xbox 360 version) I might not have bought it.
But back to Skyrim, I thought oblivion was good but not great. Well worth playing though and I guess Skyrim will be the same even though it may be a little dumbed down. I do get the sneaking feeling though that it will have a few problems that will need a patch after release. However, it's still on my to buy list unless it turns out to be a total disaster.
