They look like scary blue translucent flying things with trails of blue. But they look awesome.

And giants

Random quest locations and spawned enemies depending on your play style (if i read correctly)

The civil war that has broken out in Skyrim and serves as one of the final signs heralding the return of Alduin the World-Eater.

"Already lesser dragons are flying free around the world."

I guess dragon's might be a common enemy? Hopefully not the new cliff-racer...

:verymad: too long! haha I want it now

Anyone want to help me build a time-machine to take us to november? haha

Don't forget Cooking/farming/mining/woodcutting. And ofcourse blacksmithing

Heh, that just made me flash back to MineCraft...

Perks. "When you level up you get a chance to pick a perk, something we did a lot of with fallout 3..."

With the screens I've seen so far, the graphics are looking pretty bad a$$! The fire that is burning the troll, the building in the valley/canyon, the guy in the cave holding the torch, it's very impressive. I'm not seeing any shadows in the pics but they stated their will be dynamic shadows. Besides the artisic filter on the pics are distorting the image. So, I'm happy with the graphics aspect, I just hope the game play and rpg aspects are complex and engrossing.

Interesting. I look forward to getting my GI in the mail - I'm a little bummed I didn't get it early like some people have. I'm trying to hold out and be all skeptical and not get my hopes up, but so far things sound very promising.

Lists are easier to read in this format OP just fyi, the spaces and lack of "bullet points" make for too much eye movement for my lazy lazy eyes

I'm fond of the part about if a shop keeper, for instance is killed or you kill them, that someone, like his sister will inherit the shop and she may still give you the quest her brother would have despite not being very happy about you if you killed her brother. Just sounds cool.

Where was cooking mentioned? I don't remember reading that...

Off Topic: Summer... you have the world's most beautiful driveway...

What abut fast-travel? Any mentions?

For ppl who are getting it in the mail is it suppoused to get out to everyone than in before the 14th?

Ok I will say again "Solstheim's favorite furries are BACK"

Or something along those lines. Infer what you will

7000 steps!

That's my favorite part of the article (even if it's hyperbole).

"Explore the mundane through farming, mining, woodcutting or even cooking. Towns are filled with activities when you're looking for a break from life-and-death adventuring"

Im updating as fast as i can !
