Illusion, conjuration, destruction, restoration, alteration, and enchant are all in the game. That is 6 schools of magic.

Well this already sounds massively disappointing outside of pretty graphics.

There are only five schools of magic in Skyrim. My guess as to other skills that got sacked are as follows...

Blunt and Blade are now melee
Heavy and light armor are now just armor
I know that enchanting is in the game but I'm not sure sure the enchant skill has returned.

If I'm right then that covers all the skills.

ENCHANTING IS IN THE SKILL LIST IN ONE SCREENSHOT, RIGHT NEXT TO ALTERATION

Wrong.

Instead of blade and blunt skills, now they have one handed and two handed skills. We can not be entirely sure what other skills they removed except for Mysticism. Nothing else has been confirmed.

Can't wait to get my copy!

Have you seen any sign of something resembling jiggle bones? Capes, long flowing hair, bits and bobs clattering about on armor?

Blunt and Blade are now melee

Arrrrumph. I hope not. It's hard to argue against merging heavy and light armour, annoying as it is, but mixing blunt and blade ? Really not the same thing.

or take a chill pill

get it, chill as in skyrim he he he

» Tue Jun 15, 2010 5:24 pm

One-handed and two-handed... is that confirmed? That makes more sense to me than blade and blunt.

Mixing Blunt and Blade seems great, I love the idea cause then I don't have to worry about what weapon I'm going to pick up if I want to be a thief.

» Wed Jun 16, 2010 12:10 am

I liked the way TEs had very specific skillsets.

Too many modern games have dumbed down their skillsets so we just have:

hitty
armory
magicky

I like having 20+ skills. It's the only thing about the game I'm actually worried won't be up to par, the levelling system.

I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF GI, I'VE ONLY SEEN SOME OF THE SCANS. I CAN CAPS LOCK TOOOOOOOO!

i am sorry...

but enchanting is indeed on one of the screenshots between alteration and smithing

» Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:20 am

Just on the magic skills: there's a screenshot which shows that there are the following skills - Alchemy, Illusion, Conjuration, Destruction, Restoration, Alteration, Enchanting (followed by Smi..., which some people have suggested is a Smithing skill, but that's btw).

So, when compared with Oblivion, Mysticism has been replaced by Enchanting. But, with 18 skills, and assuming that there'll be six skills per specialisation (combat, magic, stealth), one of the seven mentioned skills is not being considered a magic skill. I suspect that Alchemy will be considered a stealth skill.
