What are the words sung in the gameplay trailer after the Dragon Shout? Will there be any more information about the Dragon Language before the release of the game?

Is there a better collision detection system than in Oblivion?

Will you still be able to move and place objects (decorate) and if so is the Sprint (Left Bumper) button going to still be used for 'Grab'?

1. Will graphics improve before 11/11/11? If so, will it be for PC or all platforms?

2. Are there sea monsters?

3. Are "jobs" in real-time and with full animations for the player? Will we be able to just grab an axe and chop down a tree? No intrusive clicking on a menu (apart from cooking) or something like that?

4. Are there destructible environment in Skyrim? If so, to what extent?

5. Is there rain...? How does it look? Does it create a "watery surface" on things, have splash effects, rain puddles, etc?

6. Snow... how exactly does it work? Do we simply just "walk on the snow" or do we "walk in/through the snow". Like we actually wade through snow up to our knees/waists sometimes?

7. Will there be quest markers and compass icons? If yes, will they be togglable by a gameplay setting, so that those who don't like them can disable them?

8. Are there any "invisible walls" that surround the ends of the game world in Skyrim?

9. Are we going to be able to climb in Skyrim? This question goes for ladders and such, but also mountains. And I mean actually climb... with our hands :P

10. Is there a "hardcoe mode" (optional or non-optional; the need to eat/drink/sleep, etc...) in Skyrim?

11. Will we be able to see our feet/body in first person view?

12. Are dungeons also seperated as interior cells, or is it just houses and buildings that are seperate cells from exterior cells?

13. I understand that mounts (horses) are a maybe for the release, but how is the development looking at this moment?

14. Will there be polearms, spears, throwing weapons, crossbows, or any other kind of weapons that weren't in Oblivion?

15. I understand that mounts (horses) are a maybe for the release, but how is the development looking at this moment?

16. When will you start working on DLCs and expansions and such for Skyrim? Do you have any plans to release big new landscapes for us to explore and such? Do you plan to release something similar to Shivering Isles, Tribunal, Bloodmoon?

17. Is there aurora borealis? :)

Already asked once, but a different question if you passed it...

Will the old gritty "i've been smoking 12 packs a day for the last 40 years" Dunmer voice return?

Answer this one. We want the Morrowind Dunmer voice back!

ok here a few questions that come to mind from playing TES3 and 4, and fallout 3

Will there be any limb dismemberment in skyrim?

how about traveling merchants to trade with, is this in?

I liked the bounty system in fallout 3, will we see anything similar in skyrim?

of course i have to ask will vampires and werewolves be in, and if so how are you doing them differently than the last games (vampires in TES4 were ok but there were too many limitations and no depth to vampires)

will explosives be a part of skyrim, and if so how so, in magic or maybe alchemy

how deep will crafting/smithing be?

While i loved oblivion, i though fallout 3's choices made it quite fun and more of a non linear experience, im assuming that skyrim will see a great many choices in the game, so from that assumption what are you doing differently this time around and whats staying the same? (also a fans opinion, but there should be more effected from your actions in skyrim)

oh god, please tell me theres no type of vats systems for skyrim, it worked for fallout... barely as it was sort of cheap. but skyrim needs that feeling of i have to fight with skill, quickness, cunning, and accuracy and not a stop and gamble with percentage and skill type thing.

one last QA, how is the team going about making the story and quests more fun and entertaining? fallout 3 was pretty entertaining but oblivion fell short most of the time.

1) How exactly will the jobs work?

2) Will there be any more guilds than in Oblivion?

3) How dynamic are the quests? Can you be just walking through the street and a random man walk up to you and give you a quest? Also is there a certain number of them or are they unlimited?

4) Will it be possible to do a sort of 2 sides of the story thing, like if you could join the fighter's guild or blackwood company in oblivion.

5) In the games story will there be any mention to your character? Whether it be the main story or one of the guilds?

1) Will there be finishing moves for magic?

2) These "houses" (or guilds, or factions, whatever) that fight the civil war, will you be able to join one or more of them and conquer other regions with them and exterminate other houses/guilds?

3) will the quests be more flexible? like not only kill, but maybe convince, route (make flee), bribe or other means.

Are dungeons linear? Are there multiple ways in or out of dungeons? Do we need to solve puzzles, to move further, or can we bypass them?

I have read every question on here, as not to be repetitive. I wanted to have an original question and so here it is:

In terms of buying goods, will shop owners have the appropriate amount of money, as in more than in oblivion? This was very annoying because if you found something worth more than 2000, you automatically tried to position it in your house. Also I would very much like to see the trading items for items make a comeback like in Morrowind.

If this question has already been asked I apologize. Also please don't hate because I just registered. I honestly don't have time to be on a forum but I still care and just wanted to ask.

Very great, and bad, questions out there. Keep it up, so our voices can be heard.

1- Will the Falmer make any appearances or a "hey there used to be here" kind of dungeon?

2- Can we actively participate in necromancy?

3- Will we meet any good dragons? or neutral dragons? or at least a dragon that does not want part of Alduin's plan? In other words, any non-aggressive-from-the-start-till-death dragon?

4- Will crime done in one city be instantly know in other cities or known within a delay? or not known at all? Perhaps a courier we could intercept or just a background clock

5- Will there be (and what would they be) any limited edition bonuses or pre-order bonuses?

6- Can we know if someone will actually named their child "Dovahkiin"?

7 - will we meet the Tongues?

8- Is the grab function removed, made useful or still useless?

9- Will there be an arena or equivalent?

10- will Maiq the Liar be back again? (of course he will!)

11- I have a concern about such a beautiful game running on the X360. Do you have struggles to make it work?

12- Can we ask (ex:knocking) to enter someone's house or do we have to break in and THEN see if that person is OK with it? or maybe it is mentioned somehow (like if the icon was white in oblivion)

13- Are shouts spammable? because an offensive shout that can be repeatedly shouted would render you nigh invincible.

14- Will the fate of Martin be revealed? Is he sacrificed and dead or did he achieve apotheosis?

15- What happened to the empire since there is no Emperor? did it become a parliamentary government?

16- Will the novels influence Skyrim (other than history books) because I didn`t read them (although if they were free i would have read them!)

I know four (or five) of these questions were already asked but I really want to know!

1) Will you be able to change your facial appearance throughout the game? Like hair or shape? This was a problem for me in OB. Since I could not zoom out to look at my body during character creation, I made my head inhumanely skinny and I am still kicking myself for it.

2) How much has housing been altered? for example: I like collecting books in Oblivion. Since my character resides in Benirus Manor in Anvil, I liked place my books around the house. What I did not like was there wasn't any shelves in the house that could hold books like they're supposed to be: straight up and down. Is this changed in any way?

3) Are there a considerable number of joinable guilds in Skyrim? Morrowind had a good number of guilds whereas Oblivion had less.

Thanks for letting us ask questions!

BTW Skyrim comes out two days after my birthday!

Will the options menu have more on/off toggles or sliders for flexible gameplay?

Some examples are turn on/off fast travel or turn on/off essential NPCs. Every player and character is different.

Thanks for letting us ask questions.

Morrowind has texture seams.

Oblivion has texture seams.

Will Skyrim have them as well? Or a different way of texturing is included?

Will there be any necromancers in the style of the magicians of Glubbdubdrib in Gulliver's Travels, or like Langiva in Black Death (starring Sean Bean).

Will there be multiple ways to deck out your horse or mount? Armor for some, saddlebags and a bedroll on another, some of those medieval horse blankets for cold weather, or the cloth with symbols on it for jousting? A hook to hang your shield from on the horse when you're not in combat or are in town?

01. Can we ride Dragons or have a Spell to let us ride a Dragon.

02. Can we Murder someone and not have psyhcic Guards know about it, even when i do it 5 Yards away that wont have Every City or Town know I did it. Whwn i Murder someone Allone in a Forest or in a House, i dont want some Family Member to come for Revenge unless He has Proof I Dit It.

03. Can we sit on a Horse and fight with a Sword or shoot with a Bow and Arrow.

04. Can we put some Insults to Robbers when they try to rob you and yet they have Armor and Weapons that makes them Richer then Kings.

05. Can we give a Gold Coin to a Beggar that will make him rich enough to not let him stand their the next day and beg, he should practically own a House by now.

06. Will our Character be Effected by the Weather, why should i be half naked and jump in a Icy River and still feel like its a Summer Breeze.

07. When we kill someone, will his Body start to decay everyday and will someone eventually pick up the rotting corpse and dispose of it.

08. After i become the Leader of a Faction, can i tell my Next in Command to take the Job so i can be Completly Free from them, even if that means i wont get paid, but if i decide to get back, i must do something so i can be the Leader again.

09. Could you guys ditch the Difficulty Settings and have the Game be Easy Medium Hard on its Own.

10. Please let us Not hit someone in the Arm or Foot or Leg and have him Die of it, Only when we hit him in the Stomach or Head should be reasonable, atleast have him limp or hold his arm.

11. Will Invisibility have meaning this time, because i bump in someone or Steal something or Kill someone or Walk/Sneak past someone and they Still See Me.

12. Just for Randomness: if you guys could, would you make a Lord of the Rings RPG Game.

13. In Oblivion, we went through the Game and Main Quests while building up our Character and helping Martin Septim beat Mehrun Dagon, yet Martin just changed into a Dragon and Defeated the Dark Lord in 10 Seconds while afterwards, i felt Cheated to work about 80 Hours or more through the Game just to watch some Minor Dude Beat the Boss while im being Crowned as the Hero of Cyrodill for doing Absolutly NOTHING, what reasurance do we have in Skyrim that I will be the one Defeating Alduin instead of some Minor Dude doing the work for me.

14. My First Game was Oblivion, so im not that familier wth all these Deadric stuff and ive heard there are still allot of Deadric Princes like Sheogorath, will there be Another DLC Deadric Prince Add-on after Skyrim.

15. Can we expect Another DLC Add-on like Knights of the Nine.

16. The Little DLC's you guys Released as we were Forced to Pay and yet Fighters Fortress were Free, will the Next Small DLC Packs be Free as if any Modern Modder created it.

17. Just for Randomness: if you guys could, would you Remake the First Three Elderscroll Games and or just make a Voice Pack for Morrowind.

18. Why did Kvatch Burn forever, why was it never fixed In-game or a Patch, there was also a Magic Shop in Bruma that did the same, could that Never happen again for Skyrim please.

19. Will there be Loading Areas every 10 steps as you walk along the Path, or will it be like Just Cause 2 with One Giant Open World that has No Loading Areas, except for entering a Building by going through a door of course.

20. After the Main Quest is done and im Done with the Game, will Dragons and Giants and Beasts Re-spawn and will their Enemies and Monsters Re-spawn in Caves and Dungeons again, i really Dont want to wander around an Empty Land.

21. Just for Randomness: When we level up our Archery Skill, could it be possible for us to shoot with 2 Arrows at once.

22. Just for Randomness: Why has Skyrim been set 200 Years after Oblivion, why not 50 Years and has previous Elderscroll Games also been set apart so far into the Future.

23. Will there be Dragons Only in the Main Quest or will they be around when i start the Game, the reason im asking is, there were Deadric Creatures in Oblivion while i was Leveling up my Character and yet we were told that they would Only appear throughout the Main Quest when Oblivion Gates started to open up.

24. I read that we will chop trees and Cook and help build a Windmill or something, does this mean we can build our Own House at our Chosen Location in Skyrim, wether its High on a Snowy Mountain or right next to a Dragon Cave.

25. I read there will be Children in Skyrim, please Dont let us Kill them and will there be Cats and Dogs.

26. Please allow a setting for None Violence so it could be for People that Dont like exsessive Blood or Mutilating Body Parts and Please No Swearing what so ever, it Doesent fit in a Elderscroll Game.

27. Could we have Armor and Clothes Stands For Sale in Shops so we can use them in our Homes, they should be Available for PC/PS3Xbox

28. When we have Quest Activities, please Dont make it obvious by Directing us Straight to it and please let Us Discover Ruins and Forts without them being pointed out to us, we want to Explore and use our brain. Technically speaking, Drop us in the Game and run away by saying, you're on your Dude.

29. Are their any Member Mods from Oblivion generated into Skyrim, in other words, what Mods from Members did you put into Skyrim.

30. Will the Game be Heavy on Graphics and what are the Maximum PC Requirements, since i Dont have the Money to Constintly Upgrade my PC. practically Every 6 Months.

31. Will Taverns be More Alive, wether its People Singing or pick a Bar Fight.

32. Will there be Real Concequenses for your actions, because why Steal or Murder someone just to be set off to Jail and sleep it off, yet im back on the street with a few mean looks and all i have to do is make Nice Conversations and Everyone is My Friend again.

33. I Hate MMO Games, Please let Skyrim atleast be Multiplayer with Single Player Offline Mode, but Never MMO.

34. Could we have Sparring Fights with Wooden Weapons in a Fighters Guild for Skill Leveling or Punch eachother with Hand to Hand, obviously Nobody should die or be knocked out until you yield or walk away.

If having a high amount of experience in a skill has a greater impact on leveling, does this mean that in the late game when you have several skills up really high you start leveling up rather quickly?

My questions are mostly related to the Creation engine.

1. To what extent are advanced physics implemented in the game? I mean things like dynamic liquids, cloth, vegetation responding to player actions (such as moving aside when the player runs through it), etc.

2. Destructible environments? Will we be able to at least partially destroy trees and structures?

3. How flexible is the engine in terms of graphics settings and memory usage? There's a lot of talk on enthusiast forums about 2GB of VRAM rapidly becoming the standard for modern games, will Skyrim be a part of this trend?

Hello.

- What is the facial animation system used?
- Lycanthropy be(werewolf, wereboar, werebear, etc. )?
- Vampirism will (clan the Volkihar, who lives beneath the ice of lakes. They can reach through the ice of their lakes without breaking it.)?
- Skyrim will, figuratively speaking, "black and white" game? That is to be a clear division between "good"and "evil"? Or "Skyrim will be more like" The Witcher "in this regard?
- There will be far-reaching consequences of decisions taken in the quest?
- six in the game?
- Strong verbal expression be?
- sub-race will khajiit (Ohmes, Pahmar, Senche, etc.)?
- Snowray, udurefrukt, wild boarshorker, grahl, dragonling, snow whales be?
- relatives Karstaag be?
- levitation will be?
- spears are?
- why can not swim at the boat?
- Why there no articles in Russian, in Russian magazines?

P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
