I thought I would take the liberty and make the 4th thread myself. Here's all the new info:

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.

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.

lol beat me to it, i was just about to make the thread myself .

I wonder how summarized this info is. Maybe there is more we've yet to see?

What's with the faction names? Fighters guild sounds better than "the companions".

I can't wait to see these screens. TC, can you put the screen descriptions in the OP please?

In my opinion, THIS STUFF IS AWESOME!!! :twirl: :twirl: :twirl: :toughninja:

Thanks for the info. Happy to see that mounts are indeed in, but sad to see H2H is out.

Yeah I can't wait to see the actual magazine myself and read the part where it says H2H is out.

I'll take the high road here, and not say anything about how my endless complaints about how Oblivion's factions felt totally insular against the rest of the world had any impact on this, and just say huzzah!

HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT!
Todd comfirmed thats what the guards are going to say when they arrest you.
That was a lie by the way. Im hungry for more info, bring on the pics! :liplick:

I'm curious about the lightning storm shout and how it would work indoors. The way I imagine it out to be is dark clouds with thunder and lighting strikes, but that wouldn't really work that well indoors would it?

Is there 9 different environments/regions for the 9 different Holds? Skyrim is really going to feel diverse both aesthetically and with the different economies and crime systems in the separate Holds.

I hope they confirm unique bosses, like Umaril in oblivion. and thanks for the info. Cant wait till E3!!

Im going to check out all the prisons in the game

I agree, Skyrim will blow our minds. Ive barley been on because i dont want to see any more new info... but i couldn't help myself.

I would imagine the environments might serve as a border for some of the holds.

LOL

HALT HALT HALT You stupid Criminal Scum pay freaking court a fine or live a long live in jail or dead HeHeHeHe :chaos:

I imagined it kind of like the shoop da woop (spelling?) laser where you just open your mouth and everything comes flying out electrocuting everything in its path.

This new info "IT DAWNS IN FIRE!!!!!"

There will certainly need to be very different animation from the Chain Lightning spell which was confirmed in one of the recent interviews as having some force element. (IIRC, the quote was something to the effect that "you arm lightning spell in both hands and hold to release powerful chain lightning with force that moves objects around and can extinguish torches, etc.")

I mentioned this in another thread, but it would be kickass if there were side quests where a hold might send you to commit a crime in a rival hold, like to sabotage someones economy. I can even see some Dark Brotherhood quests where contracts are put out out on people in a rival holds.

This might go well with the separate bounties, because if you destroy a rival holds economy, you might gain popularity in the other hold.

True, that makes sense. One of the recent previews in an international mag mentioned 9 "Jarls", which are in charge of the Holds.

That would be pretty sweet, almost a Morrowind type of feel to it.

Jinjo, can you edit the OP and add the descriptions of the screens please? Anyone who's seen the article have a guess as to what town/city is in the screen with the open landscape?

Anyone know how many were in Oblivion?
