My concerns are...

Level of AI in enemies: Lone Wolves do not relentlessly pursue people for miles just for coming within 100 yards of them. Bears do not chase people and try to slaughter them unless them or their cub feels threatened...
Amount of armor/weapons and levels: I hope there is more, and do not think it is very realistic for maraders or bandits to be in armor so great that they could sell it and live the rest of their life in luxery... Where did everyone get the Daedric and Glass armor ?

When I say "a true successor to Morrowind" I am not looking for Morrowind 2, I am hoping for another great game. IMO Oblivion was a giant wast of time and didn't deserve TES on the box. I will never argue that everyone let alone anyone should agree with my opinion of Oblivion. We are all looking for different things. I was totally absorbed in Morrowind, so I overlooked any flaws. I was completely bored to death with Oblivion, so the flaws were magnified.

I just want the rush of entering an area, not knowing if my low level character will survive. I have a feeling I will not be disappointed.

You really think skyrim won't sell much....really?
The hype is just snow balling at the moment,and it's going to get bigger.
For people to complain about oblivion,they must have bought it in the first place.
Sales of oblivion was huge,skyrim will surpass that "big time" ,my view.
Look at the forums,look how many topics/replies are there already under skyrim,it's mental...and it will continue,because we have more info to come.
Rest assured,your remarks about skyrim not sellling much will be wrong,very wrong....mark these words

Well they mentin the cool new AI stuff the wolfs do, I hope this means all beasts(or many at least) now have radiant AI routines that npcs have, it a logical progression.

I imagine most beast's will have radiant AI,but it's also been stated that some beasts will attack regardless,because it's in their nature

I agree with that - it's okay if some places are just too deadly until you're powerful enough to conquer them. And while I should always be able to find a challenge if I want one, at some point I also want to feel like I've "paid my dues" and become a generally unstoppable god. Not as quickly as it happened in Morrowind, certainly, but eventually, at least in the bulk of the gameworld. I don't need every single encounter to be a life-or-death struggle with a daedric-clad bandit just to walk through the forest.

That fine, I mean this is a game were kill stuff is the one of the main things you do. Its nice to hear though that there will be more passive and neutral creatures.

Yes...it's nice indeed :thumbsup:

1. Only halburd like weapons, no stabby spears.

Only thing thats got me down really.

My only concern right now is that the Bretons might have been changed for the worst look wise.

I am concerned that the fanbase will be disappointed because the game will get over-hyped. There has not even been any gameplay footage, stop complaining about things you don't know for sure. Noting possibilities just makes others think you are right and use you ideas to gripe about... It will be a good game, one of the best...

Alot of polearms,especially halberds,do exactly what a spear does and more.
Someone said polearms where in a graph in a mag,which would suggest they are there.
Which means spear lovers have no need to worry,in my view.
But thats if we 100% know polearms are there.
There is hope

There is its called mods.

A little concern I have is that in every interview, Todd Howard says that the playing area "is about the size of Oblivion".

That concerns me a little. "About the size of" could mean it's actually a bit smaller. If the world was bigger, he wouldn't say it was "about the same size". He would definitely say it was bigger, as that would be a plus point for the game.

I'm concerned about spell customisation and spellmaking and have some concerns about enchanting.

Not concerned about stealth, worked well in Oblivion improved in Fallout.

I have no concerns at all. BGS will deliver the goods.

My largest concern thus far is the fan-base in general. About the game, I withhold my opinion until I actually see it in play.

Here are my concerns. I hope my fears won't turn into reality.

• User interface.
  That the UI isn't PC user friendly, and does not take advantage of the keyboard and the PC's high resolutions, and closer screen.
  
  
• PC graphics.
  Lack of DX11 support, and other nice graphical features and shaders the PC is capable of, but consoles are not. A 2011 PC game should have these features.
  
  
• Quest compass.
  A quest marker telling me exactly where to go to find my objective. It ruins quests.
  
  
• Level scaling.
  Especially the dungeons, that lock closest to your level within it's level range once you visit it, and how that will affect loot.
  
  
• Clothing & armor.
  Apparel that is simpler, or as simple as in Oblivion. No separate left and right pauldrons, and left and right gloves. Pants automatically turning into skirts when equipped on a woman and vice versa, and no robes/skirts over armor.

Biggest concern? How much of a visible impact Fire has on the environment. The awesomeness of a system that causes fires to burn and spread, all the while igniting other flammable objects, gives me the most entertainment I could possibly imagine. So much, in fact, that all I did in FarCry 2 was run around with the flamethrower setting the grasses aflame just to watch it spread. Sure, I did a few quests in FarCry 2, but it was always with my flamethrower, torching my enemies, and their shelters. I'm hoping that Skyrim will be the same way or similar, I played as a Fire Mage in Morrowind and Oblivion, and I'll create another one in Skyrim.

It may seem somewhat odd, but this is really it. From what I read in the Game Informer article, most of my other concerns were laid to rest. The Magic system was my other really big concern, but I have played a bit of Bioshock. With that in mind, and the examples GI gave of what you can cast with your spells, the only other concern was how the environment, and your enemy, burns when you used Fire-based attacks. I eagerly await more information of how well the enemy AI interacts with a burning environment, and they themselves burning as well. :flamethrower:

What?

So your a pyromaniac, is what I'm guessing, right?

■ Lack of variety.
■ Feels like Medieval game rather than Fantasy.
■ Not enough content.
■ Level Scaling.

My main concern is that I won't be able to buy new hardware on time.

For everything else I am well prepared that some elements of the game simply cannot be what I would like them to be. Nothing is perfect,but if a game (franchise) ever came close to perfection,TES is it. In my humble opinion. :whistling:

PC optimisation by the developers as usual.

Yeah, PC UI and optimization for me too.

Oblivion is notoriously badly optimised, New Vegas uses a newer version of the same engine, and runs on higher settings much better than Oblivion ever did. Skyrim will be the first game using this new engine, so similar thing may happend again.

As for UI, that has svcked for PC users since Morrowind, so i don't except it to change. i just hope there'll be modders to fix it.

For the actual game, i've never encountered a game i've hated so much i couldn't play it, and Bethesda has an excellent track record so far. For me, atleast
