I'll post as i read new info
-when u open up ur inventory u have four ways to look if u look down u go to ur map..obviously up is ur stats then since they are the stars in the sky..(in relation to birthsigns)
- the map is litterally the game world with a camera zoomed out...try to imagine super mario
world or something like that..except..3d and more awesome..
- looking right goes to ur weapons and items...looking at these items (resident evil style) is done by selecting the item then using the thumbsticks to rotate..revealing clues and stats it seems
-looking left reveals the magic screen...all magic is represented in 3d also bubbling with magic energy...this is also where u set up ur favorites menu which can be assigned like web pages on ur comp..they are then used with the d-pad in game
- riverwood is possibly the starting area for the game a small town bustling next to a rugged river.

Welp thats All the new inventory info...check back tmrow for when the next article comes out...

Yea I've read all of this already. Thanks though. I can't wait to see this 3d map. One of the previews said Skyrim may have the "sixiest menus ever".

I have deleted all but the one sensible reply to the OP.

Playing at grammar cops, rude and flaming posts are all against forum rules and I will quite happily warn and suspend those who do - and not loose a wink of sleep over it. Now, either answer the OP in helpful and respectful ways or don't post because I will be back to check this out.

Aye saw this already as well not sure how I feel about the entiremap being just a representation of me being really high in the sky does that mean I can see cities I havent been to yet? meh...

(side note, Holy***** did Rough...JUST WINK AT ME? god im going to get nightmares about that avatar sooner or later.)

'loose' lol kind of ironic.

OP- the concept of a 3d map sounds really cool but i'm worried about 2 things. 1. I hope it doesn't look very techy or it won't fit in with the gameworld. 2. I always found it harder to trace a path on a 3d map then a 2d one.
