For me, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear people talk about Skyrim, mainly people who work at GameStop, the first thing that pops in my head is dragons. I think because it's stuck in my mind that in the gameplay trailer at the very end we see a dragon fly across the screen before "SKYRIM" fades in.

Snow and Nords. I've been hearing "Skyrim" since I played Morrowind, so I've heard the name for a long time before the game was even announced. Dragons were the furthest thing from my mind.

Pretty much the same :rolleyes:

first thing that comes into mind....oh sh*t i think i crapped my self or is it offtopic xD

I think of mead and lots of Dunmer ladies...

Dunmer/nord rivalry settled through ski tournaments.

Yeah, this.

I think about the old guy from the trailiers voice.

Mountains. That could fit under Environment but I specifically think Mountains.

:tes:

Mostly dragons nowadays...

Nerdgasm. Just kidding. I see the Nord in the trailer walking around looking badass. In a cave.

viking theme. Agressive abd possibly thr death if all my characters

Viking warrior !

Mead and drunken Nords (are there any other sort?)

One word. Legendary.

Wasted potential (due to outdated consoles )
Proof? Instead of fully opened world with background loading (average gaming PC could handle this), we get enclosed interiors and some cities that will have loading screen when you enter them.
Why? Because YBox 3.60 and pvssyStation3 have "a lot of untapped power"

Awesome character creation. Then Vikings, then Dragons. In that order.

The Nords would win. Just saying.

dual wielding axes

When i hear Skyrim i hear 2 months of no social life

Read the forum rules, j*ckass.

FOS ROH DAH! :rock:

I voted Dovahkiin

Truth hurts?

I trust Bethesda enough to craft a compelling story.
I trust them to create a spectacular world to tell it in.

So when I think about Skyrim, I tend to focus on the things I loved about Morrowind and detested about Oblivion. It comes down to two things that shouldn't surprise anyone.
1) Is my character progressing in a meaningful way?
- If the entire world levels around me, I do not feel fear, because I won't find anything too scary. Furthermore, I can't return to a low leveled area and lay the smack down on the enemies that challenged me before I grew into a hero.

2) Trophies of conquest
- Morrowind's object placement allowed me to array my lair with all the trophies of my adventures in a totally organic and non-contrived way. No need for display cases, since you could put the objects anywhere.

So the first thing I think about regarding Skyrim is "will the game address these points"?

I remember when I walked into some northern vampire liar.It was a pretty big mistake.The woman with the warhammer said so .But that's what made it fun,sometimes you had to run for your life.I can't count the number of times I was just barely saved by an intervention scroll.
