There's only so much color you can put into a world filled with snow pretty much everywhere. The Rift was a pretty colorful region, imo. I greatly enjoyed the scenery in Skyrim; one of my favorite things about the game.

Black. Sigma cut out the cool blue trail effect when you do a flaying swallow, the balancing is different, and I think blood effects were cut out (Not sure about decapitations).

This has been true for Oblivion and Morrowind as well(especially Morrowind).
I will say the first time I beat Skyrim it was on an xbox 360. This was out of necessity since when the game first came out I didn't have a PC powerful enough to run it. By no means did I find it an awful experience. However, I suspect that my impressions of the 360 version would be different if I had first played it on PC with mods and then later on tried it on the 360.

Yeah, but then you're not getting the intended experience. The way I see if, if a game needs mods to be good, it was never a good game to begin with.
I personally have no problem with vanilla Skyrim's environments. May as well complain Zelda doesn't add enough color, it was going for a certain kind of look. If I want color, I could load up Enslaved, which has more color then that guy who did paintings on tv.

Me too. I don't use mods either because I can't since I play it on PS3.

Pretty sure the 360 had issues of its own, something about texture streaming in the downloadable version resulting in inferior looking textures. Haven't noticed this, and not sure I'd even know it if I saw it.

It's probably been over six months at least since I finished my first playthru of Skyrim. If there were any lag issues it certainly wasn't bad enough to stop me from enjoying the game and I'd probably easily remember them as well if they were that severe. As it is, I'm not recalling any major issues with lag though.

A more modern port of Skyrim that can not be officially or easily modded.

You know, honestly, I don't hate Skyrim. But I also don't think it's great.
I mean, I enjoy Mass Effect or Witcher games a lot more. Or even some Assassins Creed games.
Skyrim is something I fire up if I don't feel like a challenge, am not sure what I'm in the mood for, but don't feel like watching a movie.
At heart, I'm all about high adrenalin combat and puzzling out how to handle tough encounters. The exploration bits of Shadow of Colossus bored Zelda bored me to tears, and served as padding between all the cool boss encounters. And that's all Skyrim really is... Go here, go there, get loot, craft that.
May as well put me in a pen and paper rpg, because I couldn't stand that either. I was the kid who'd rather play Rtype or Defender. Or Burgertime or Pac man.
Dark Souls or Darksiders gives some of that, at least. Even Diablo has more of what I like there.
