I feel like a curmudgeon playing this game and then seeing all the stellar reviews.

I don't like having to care about whether or not my horse is well fed. I don't like having to track down my hat after a fight only to accidentally loot a body and get wanted. I don't like the enormous amount of travel, and limited fast travel. I don't like that if I get skinny I take more damage, or that my clothes need to reflect the weather. I don't like that bumping into people makes them fight me while my base walking speed is so slow. I don't like ruining a pelt because my aim was slightly off (or that the bow basically requires dead eye to use properly).

I think having that stuff optional (like fallout's survival mode) is great, but someone put realism in my escapism and it makes me grumpy.

The game is great, and maybe I am just getting older, but its is not nearly as perfect as the reviews are making it out to be.
