Ok, so speculation is rampant. But that's a good thing. Everybody is excited. I certainly shiver with antici... ...pation.

I've likely missed some of the available information, but I'm wondering about character creation. In Oblivion, we had classes, attributes, skills, birthsigns, and racial bonuses & special abilities (e.g., Nordic Frost). I have not played TES games prior to Oblivion, so I am not aware of what kind of changes there may have previously been in these areas.

I've read somewhere there will be no classes and the number of skills has been reduced (with Mysticism eliminated). What else do you expect to change in regard to racial bonuses & special abilites, etc.? Will Dunmer still be able to summon a ghost? Will the same races from Oblivion even be playable in Skyrim?

What should change?
