If this is old sry but it was posted today and i didn't see it on the forums
http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/3036/article/new-skyrim-info-blowout/

major points of the article: copied from http://theskyrimblog.com/?p=1544
there isn’t anything at all in Skyrim that is ‘procedurally generated’. Every little detail has been lovingly hand-crafted and placed into the world

the reputation system has been developed and enhanced from Fallout:New Vegas. You can curry favour with the heads of Holds by doing quests for them, and thus being liked by the local guards to the extent that they will even turn a blind eye to your misdemeanours. That sounds awesome!

Even more exciting is that you can turn the Holds against one another. The article reports that the player character ended up starting a war between two rival militias!

New perks revealed were one which enables you to run through a group of enemies whilst bashing them with your shield. The perk was decapitation was also confirmed, and was described by Todd Howard as ‘not super gory’

The Thieves Guild is based in the sewers beneath the City of Riften, and there is a Shrine of Talos in Whiterun.

Creatures are described as being more diverse than ever before, and a brand new creature is revealed – an Ice Golem.

Bethesda, have I told you I love you, today? <3

Best part is, "The perk system, a Fallout-inspired addition to the series, was also discussed in brief. One new perk will allow you to sprint forward with your shield raised, knocking any enemies in your way off to the side. You’ll also be able to unlock the ability to decapitate people in combat. Skyrim’s director, Todd Howard, commented on the feature, stating, “It's not super-gory, but it's a surprise when you get it and heads start flying off."

I knew everything besides the reputation stuff so thanks for posting since it gave me a little bit of new info.
