Stop buying games you know you are not going to keep, you are just wasting your money, rent it first if you are iffy about it...
If you have played oblivion, fallout 3, fallout new vegas and like it then yes skyrim is for you, its a RPG with a great story and open world, but its a million miles away from FPS games it being very different, at times you have to be patient in the game it can be slow at times to upgrade certain skills.
P.S its well over 100 hours of game-play in it for first play threw
