Skyrim should be epic although I was hoping the next incarnation would've been the Kajeet or Argonians....

As for Max von Sydow: before checking wiki, I was about to say that I hope he'd have a role in the game...turns out, he does.
I played most of the Elder Scrolls games: Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, Morrowind and Oblivion.
The only one I remember finishing is Oblivion.
Gah. This probably necessitates a playthrough of at least Oblivion, just to reacquaint myself w/ the lore.
See that, and the 'need' to upgrade my PC, is why I'm really glad that it won't be released for another 9 months.

This is an actual picture of me while watching the trailer.
Whatever the quality of the game, that has to be one of the best trailers for a game I've ever seen, when about a minute in, the music swells and it shows all the landscapes, that gets me every time I watch it.

I've been meaning to play Oblivion for ages. I used to have Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition for Xbox and I loved it. Couldn't put it down. I let a friend borrow it and never got it back! I need to reacquire a copy of Morrowind....if I can even find it on Xbox cheap these days. Although I think the PC version would run fine on my computer but it may need fixing.
Skyrim looks epic. It seems the only good games these days are the in-depth Action RPGs and similar things. I'd take a single-player only game over Call of Dookie anyday!

I never managed to get Oblivion (again, aformentioned baby means my "game play" these days is more of the "Peppa Pig" and "bejewelled" variety) but Skyrim has got me salivating. Awesome trailer!
Thanks for posting it.sigpic

I think a lot of people who played Oblivion and Morrowind never finished them, they were just so large. I think I managed most of the quests, but then download loads of mods and extra stuff. Never finished even half of them, the amount of content you can get is staggering.

I didn't start really RPGing till just a few years ago
I've actually heard a lot of complaining about how Oblivion levels up though, people having to sit around casting over and over to level up that skill and whatnot."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

It's still a great game, in that you can walk off in any direction and start having a hundred different adventures. What makes me excited for Skyrim is that Bethesda proved with Fallout 3 they had learned the mistakes, so that had level scaling toned down, and had less immersion breaking stuff.
The fact they've gone with a new, very beautiful engine means they seemed to fixing all their mistakes.
Still some of the immersion breaking stuff was pretty funny. Here's a song immortalising those omniscient guards that could catch you anywhere in Oblivion.
