    * Third person view has been improved
    * 5 massive cities, more variation in caves and underground stuff.
    * There is an option for no HUD.
    * On Conversations: Conversations aren’t done in a zoomed in static shot anymore.Start a conversation with some and they will act like someone would in real life, looking at you occasionally and walking around a bit and also continue doing a task if they were doing one while talking.
    * On Weapon smithing: Go to a forge and carve a new weapon out of red hot metal.
    * Dual-wielding: you have two hands now in combat and you can wield anything to both hands. You may assign a dagger on left hand and use a mace with right hand. The choice as they say is yours.
    * Duel: You may duel any NPC on the streets western style.
    * Inheritence: When you kill a shopkeeper, his/her family member will inherit the shop and will be angry about you, but stil give you missions.
    * Level-scaling: It is coming back
    * 18 skills: supposedly even less skills to play with?
    * No mysticism
    * Perks: Rumored to be in Skyrim. I may have understood it wrong.
    * Boosts: Pick stamina, health, magic boosts on level up.
    * Enchanting: This skill makes a return.
    * “Radiant storytelling” or Level Scaling 2.0: “The game eventually logs a huge storehouse of knowledge about how you’ve played, and subsequently tailors content to your capabilities and experiences. Entering a city, a young woman might approach you and beg you to save her daughter from kidnappers. The game will look at the nearby dungeons you’ve explored, automatically set the mission in a place you’ve never visited, and designate opponents that are appropriately matched to your strengths and weaknesses.”
    * Fast-Travel: As you probably expect, you can instantly travel to previous locations with a tap of the button
    * Sprinting: You can now sprint about!
    * Town visiting: You may do more in towns, like tailor weapons, cooking, farming or mining. Not much details about this or how detailed they are as jobs.
    * Dynamic Shadows
    * Improved Faces/Improved Models Example: Faces have been dramatically overhauled. Characters now exhibit more emotion show of distinctions between different races and just plain looks better.
    * Radiant AI
    * Updated Engine Snow falls dynamically (not as a basic texture on the ground)
    * Trees and branches move independently with the wind
    * Water flows
    * Randomly generated quests
    * Beards
    * You can’t run backwards as fast as you do forward.
    * 10 races to choose from (Holy crap thats a lot of races)
    * Confirmed creatures: zombies, skeletons, trolls, giants, ice wraiths, giant spiders, dragons, wolves, horses Elk, mammoth, saber-toothed cats
    * Presumably open cities (as dragons can attack)
    * Hud-free first-person view and improved third-person perspective
    * Very unique landscapes! Also unique dungeons! In other words, lots of uniqueness!
    * Character creation improved, body features customizable
    * 2-handed weapons and duel wielding confirmed.
    * Finishing moves, unique to each weapon and enemy you fight.
    * Dialog will pop up when you approach an enemy
    * Cooking/farming/mining/woodcutting/blacksmithing
    * Perk picking at every level-up
    * 5 Magic Schools Destruction Alteration Conjuration Restoration Illusion.

        True, but i've always assumed this was more down to developers being too ambitious for the tools available to them.

            As am I! The game is really looking awesome, and I'd really love it if Bethesda gave us pole arms...

              Thank god, conversations aren't static anymore. They always bored the hell out of me being stuck zoomed into some guy's face.

                I almost forgot this thread was made a while ago, this game needs to come out already. This is one of those godsends for me, a game that saves me a lot of cash with it's longevity(that I would otherwise spend on more games to entertain myself). Pumped.

                  Any word on the leveling system? Oblivions was the worst leveling system I have ever encountered.

                    It was...different...that the game was simpler to play so long as you never actively leveled up.

                      I think its a bit more like Fallout, only the skills go up in-game rather than after a level - there are also a ton of perks to choose from (over 200 I think?). There's no level cap either.. You also don't choose any classes or anything at the beginning (I hated doing that in Oblivion)

                        I never fully enjoyed Fallout 3 because of the bugs and glitches even though I downloaded all the patches, so I'm definetely passing on skyrim.

                          Finally! and RPG game in which you can fight huge dragons randomly throughout your travels! ive been waiting for something like this for quite a while. It looks amazing, a Huge improvement over Oblivion which was also a great game that I must have spent hours upon hours playing.

                            It is to be expected.. these games are huge, and if you are not creative or persistent enough to get around those issues you probably shouldn't be playing sandbox/open-world games..

                            Anyways, I disagree with your statement, FO3 can run fine on a properly configured PC. I can't comment on the PS3/Xbox versions though.

                              So anyone else planning on getting this? Gameplay movies look pretty good - everything seems more unique than generic - plus the levelling system is more like Fallout... but I think its just not as fun without guns.. One of the major issues I had with Oblivion I think..

                                All my friends told me to get Oblivion since I loved Dragon Age: Origins. Go out and buy the 5th year anniversary edition for $30. Get home and installed it and it froze at the main menu.

                                NOPE.gif. Restarted the system and played for 2 hours and hated it. Traded it in the next day. I'll pass on Skyrim too.
