Just pre-ordered the game. Can't wait for it. Yes I could have bought on my PC or my PS4 for less money, but I didn't because I want to support the game on the Switch and I know if a game is on the switch I play it more. I was close to buying on my PS4 (I only got my PS4 late August) but decided to stick it out till this one. Don't really know what it's even like besides it's an open-world game.

I don't know where it was but I assure you Pete Hines specifically said "we managed to fit the full game on a 16gb cart". It was when he first revealed DOOM would have MP as a download. I remember that much
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
So, just to get a clue, if people that read this would do me a small favour and tell me if they have played Skyrim and if so, on what platform? I'd like to get an idea of how many people might have not gone for the game, but will now that it's A. portable and B. on a Nintendo console.
I still play it on pc (Special edition) but I've never tried the main quest. I have spent more than 500 hour on that game doing just random quests, grinding and roaming around. I'm going to complete the main quest on Switch. I have done just a small part of it to have access to the Dragonborn quest because I wanted to see Apocripha. The first time I tried this game was at launch of the standard edition on PS3.
The download is complete I can confirm that it is 14.3 GB

Well given that Nintendo's publishing Skyrim and DOOM they probably gave Bethesda help regarding compression. Otherwise both games would've probably ended up the same way as games like LA Noire and the 2K sports games.
@Grumblevolcano I wonder how that works. It would be nice if as many thirds as possible could benefit from their compression techniques, so why only them? Something of deal I reckon.
@DarthNocturnal Nice, good to hear you had such a good time with it! So, what would you say about mods and Skyrim? I've seen people do some really neat things with those, but I don't think the Switch version will get any...
@DarthNocturnal I wonder how many of Skyrim's many bugs will show up on the Switch version. My Steam has plenty of screenshots of strange things happening, like me Fus-Ro-Dahing some dude, and he started flying around like there was a zigzagging drone stuck to his leg.
Yeah true on the external assets part, thankfully it does come with all the DLC so it will be a nice, full experience. Maybe I should consider getting Dragonborn at one point....
@DarthNocturnal We shall see, I do remember sometimes having issues with NPC's that you need for your quests. I hope those are gone, since they were annoying as hell.
The new financial report actually confirmed Bethesda is publishing Skyrim and DOOM, but will be publishing Dragon Quest Builders and Octopath Traveller.
This game is a lot more polished now, you don't see many bugs anymore. The worst thing tha could happen sometimes is to get stuck somewhere, expecially if you are trying to jump up or down mountains with a complex rock structure (and if enemies are nearby you can't fast travel away) or if an enemy able to shout you accidentally shout you out of the game bounds inside a dungeon. Save often and you should be fine.

You can 100% fail quests. Not in a timed, you failed this objective sense, but if you accidentally hit a quest giver low on health...
The PS4 version definitely freezes sometimes, it happened to me like twice across... a long time. Getting stuck in geometry is very rare, and I've never experienced being unable to fast travel out of it in a much longer amount of hours than I've spent with the PS4 version.
