Just went to the Elder Scrolls wiki to look for any info on Skyrim, and it says in the latest news it has been confirmed that Skyrim is on a new engine: http://www.uesp.net/, and heres the actual tweet regarding the new engine: http://twitter.com/nickbreckon/status/14015054991069184#

This is the best news i've heard since on Skyrim so far, i was getting sick of the Gamebryo engine.

I'd bet they call it new engine so people aren't worried about it. It's probably still Gamebryo, updated. You probably won't recognize it as it will look and feel nothing like Oblivion.

Easier to call it new as most people won't understand anything else (OH ITS SAME NAME SAME DEAL)

The thread about it falls off the first page less than one minute and someone makes a new one of these. Please search prior to posting new topics folks. Else we will have nothing but threads about engines and suggestions on the first page, not to mention mmos.

Here you go, let's use this already open thread for this discussion. Thanks.
