I have the magazine, there are:
New Dragon Shouts: "Yol Toor"- Fire breath, "Iiz Slen" - Ice crystals, "Strun Bah Qo" - Lightning Storm. There are two others mentioned, not in the Dragon Language, Slow Time and Whirlwhind Spirit (Move quickly in one direction)

Dragons:
If injured enough, they can't fly
randomly appear
battles are unscripted

Dual weilding:
Weapon and Shield, Weapon and Torch (Yes, Torch as a weapon), Weapon and Weapon, Spell and Weapon, Spell and Spell, Two Handed Weapon

Random Quests:
Were inspired by Fallout 3's random encounters
Didn't like how fake some quests in Oblivion felt, Bethesda wants to make it feel mor real with these

Crafting:
13 different types of ore

Dialogue:
60,000 line of recorded dialogue, more voice actors

The Game World:
Each city has a unique economy, which the player can sabatoge
Guards no longer as powerful as they could end up being as Oblivion
9 seperate bounties, one for each hold, wanted criminal in one place; "Who's that" in another. :celebration:

Traveling:
Horses - More detailed then Oblivion, actually handle like horses
Fast Travel - Oblivion and Morrowind style

Skills:
Hand to Hand has been removed

Factions:
Three confirmed so far: Thieves' Guild, College of Winterhold (Mage) and Compainions (Warrior), their storylines are no longer unaware of other events in the world.

New Screenshots:
Battle with a Dragur weilding a two handed axe in a dungeon
A campsite near a river
Sustained fire spell
Female human (Nord?) walking toward a city
Concept art of seven different meat types in the game
Close up of a female human in armour, Imperial possibly
Guard in Legionarie armour
Male Nord in a castle, two handed hammer, bearded

~Thanks to GT409!

There was a brief mention of a spell combo in one of the interviews after the Park City event.

It was described as combining frost in one hand and circle of protection in the other to make a rune spell that you cast on the ground. If an enemy wanders over it, shards of ice are sent flying through its body.

Yeah, but I doubt that it'll be in the final product. How will you combine summon skeleton and feather? It will mean there will only be a few combinations available and I don't really think it'll be usefull.

It has been confirmed that you can have the same spell in both hands, and combine them. Just makes a more powerfull spell.

Still looking forward to seeing those screenshots. A few of them sound like the same old screenshots that have been around forever but perhaps from a different angle. Some sound completely new from the description though.

I hope the horses are done well and not simply thrown in to appease fans. It wasn't all that long ago that Todd sounded doubtful they'd be able to achieve anything as good as RDR.

Yeah, I know. But I don't think that's necessary, it would be a nice feature but not something on my wishlist.

In the Gamereactor issue it was mentioned how you could have an ice spell in one hand and a fire spell in the other hand at the same time.
So you can use two completely different spells at the same time, that is confirmed and sure.

Whether their effects are combined into a new unique effect is still unsure concerning spells like fire and ice.

Yea, I know we can dual wield separate spells, but I wonder if we'll be able to combine them when all is said and done.

That's part of dual wielding, we knew that since the GI hub updates.

This is one of the biggest things for me. Sooo curious to see Argonians and Dunmer. They've been pretty coy about those two races thus far. What have we seen so far? Possible Imperial, Nord, High Elf? (in the tavern), Khajiit, Orc. Really want to see that female Nord from the magazine...

My cousin went to the movies and said there was an Skyrim ad before the movie, and some people started clapping when it ended. Go Bethesda!

I hope there is some kind of combo that will cause an explosion that kills your friends like in Magicka
