and not just because the surfeit of climbable mountains adds so much vertical scale


Climbable? hello!

I think it means they are traversable rather than your character being able to climb. A man can wish though...

Yeah, talk about dubious staetments (in that article). There's another debatable quote:

(...) When you're talking about a game that also includes dragon-slaying, a freeform world in which you can manually climb to the top of the highest mountain in sight (..)


If ?manually climb? means going up the 7000 steps staircase, then, no,
Climbing is not in.

But it's open for discussion.

"Character abilities (divided into 18 evolving skills affected by a streamlined core of three attributes of Health, Magicka and Stamina) are no longer chosen by scrolling through long lists of words and numbers, but by navigating a vast, illuminated star field. As you unlock new skills, the stars light up, forming slowly into this world's equivalent of Orion's Belt, the Plough et al. It's amazing to behold - elaborate yet obvious, ludicrously showy yet also non-fussy. The metaphor is that your character looks upwards to the gods to find inspiration and strength; their destiny is quite literally written in the stars."

I love the thought of our destiny being written in the stars through the menu. I'll learn whatever the changes are...it's all fine by me. :)
