Skyrim
is set two-hundred years after the events of Oblivion in the eponymous land of Skyrim. The country has erupted into civil war after the assassination of its King. Concurrently, the god Alduin, which takes the form of a massive dragon, arises to destroy the world. The player character is perhaps the last living Dovahkiin (Dragonborn), and must fend off Alduin and save Skyrim from certain destruction.
General Information:
-There is difficulty scaling.
-Bethesda have enlisted many more voice actors.
-Characters will behave more naturally by doing things while they talk to you
-The Camera will not zoom in during conversations.
-There is a sprint mechanic that will use up stamina
-Running backwards is slower than running forwards
-The game will customise unique encounters based on the things you do
-There are more activities offered in towns (forge work, alchemy, enchantment, farming, mining, woodcutting, -cooking, etc)
Environments:
-There are 6-7 world environments
-The northern coast of Skyrim is covered in ice, snow and glaciers. To the west it's rocky and craggy and in the -middle of Skyrim there is a large tundra (A tundra is a biome where the tree growth is hindered by low --temperatures and short growing seasons.)
-There are 5 main cities
-Underground areas will be more varied (Icy caves, forgotten crypts)
-Environments are deliberately beautiful
Levelling, Skills & Spells:
-The class system has been removed
-Your overall level will increase faster if you focus on specific skills, the more skills you practice the slower you will -level up.
-There are 18 skills
-There are 85 spells
-Leveling will automatically improve health, the player then has the choice of further boosting health, stamina or magicka
-There are now perks similar to Fallout
-Once the player has reached level 50, further leveling is dramatically slower.
-Mysticism has been removed due to redundancy
Combat:
-Bow and arrow attacks do a lot more damage
-Designed to feel more tactile
-Weapons and spells can be applied separately for each hand.
-There are unique finishing moves
-Dragon Shouts are a new mechanic within the game
-You will fight dragons throughout the game
Graphics:
-Characters will show more emotion in their facial expressions
-Large draw distances
-Dynamic shadows for all game objects
-Improved third-person perspective
-Realistic falling snow
-Independent moving tree branches
-Dragons will have a stone like appearance
-Interfaces & Menu
-HUD free option
-The main menu comprises of skills, inventory, map and magic
-The menu superficially interacts with the world around you
-The menu has been designed around organising data efficiently
-All objects have a 3D image for you to examine
-The map is an interactive real time screen shot of the world you're in.

Anyhoo, yeah discuss this game here. It's a epic fucking game, probably one of the only games in the past while worth even buying and once the CS for it comes out, you motherfuckers KNOW for sure me and CavGunner will be dicking around and making mods, and hopefully I'll be putting in some new Armour and weapon models.
Anyway, discuss.
PS: Anyone who moans and bitchs about how it's better on consoles will furiously taste the steel inside my Size 14 Karrimor Worksite Boots, clear? Good. Now onto the discussion, anyone wants to edit the post to add more Content please do share.
