It surprises me that Bethesda still rolls with the same unsatisfying combat system after all these years. They could take their cue from Condemned, Dark Messiah, or even Demon's Souls. Once they revamp the combat, which is a huge part of the series regardless of all the exploration and quests, an Elder Scrolls game might become my GOTY.So I'd say get Skyrim if you like the feel of swinging at potato sacks with the depth perception of a rock. That, at least for me, spoils the game.
I would say they've made strides considering you used to not even "hit" someone if you actually hit someone because hit/miss was controlled by hidden dice rolls instead of your actual aim.
Also condemned doesn't really have any other elements to manage other than combat, and the world isn't nearly as vast or nonlinear.
I agree their combat could be better, but considering the scope of the game its understandable.
As for the bugs, again I think any game with this much content in it is going to have bugs. That's the price you pay for being offered so much choice and such a large world. I wouldn't say they don't test the game, it's more how much can they really test these types of games. Especially now that they can more or less cop out to patches and such with consoles being online now.

Parhelion, at least you don't have to drag the mouse across the screen to swing your weapon anymore XD
