Twenty minutes of Skyrim
We saw a bit of it from the E3 videos, but this has all of the video shown from E3 behind-the-scenes.

As Arwen says more than one year ago:
"- No Spellmaking: Simplified into being able to put a different spell into each hand and cast both at once.
- No Armor or Weapon Degradation: No repair or repair skills. The end result is that once you get an ebony sword (or the best bow) there will no longer be any reason to use any sword that does less damage. (In previous TES, weapons and armor could degrade to the point that they broke. And when you found or bought an weapon or some armor, it was rarely in top condition.)
- No Locational Damage (damaged to individual body parts) no crippled limbs
- You will not be able to see your character in the inventory screen. This is not a biggie for me, but it was a nice feature in Oblivion and Morrowind, that I will miss."

I no longer care about levitation (face it, it broke Morrowind) and Drain Health (broke Blivy).
But the first video looks amazing. Even the ability to talk to somebody while moving around
I will buy it! I just hope my PC will be able to run it without lags.
I've always wanted to play a nad kicking thief. Who knows this might be a possibility. I'd have everyone in Skyrim wincing at the very mention of my name.
It didn't look like much changed with horses still from what iv seen, hopefully we can get some combat outta that, all armors better be available or I am gonna have a fit, even after I modded Oblivion I could never understand why they got lazy and didn't make imperial watch armor available and a lot of armors male only.
Lastly I hope that faction armors don't get a rise outta other factions, its not fair that the enemy wears badass armor and I cannot continue my Dragonslaying days with my favorite armor without having problems with other factions that are often not my enemies. (Cough Cough Great Khan Armor FalloutNV)
The third person finishers are insane, from what I noticed there is no change to the ragdoll after a finisher or kill though, not that I expected limb removal. But If a guys arm comes off where I cut it off and he continues to fight stump and sword till I kill him then we are in business.
There is no reason for them to port over to PC from an xbox version, without the mods great players have made and attached to this site, they would have no idea what they should adjust, Oblivion became the playground for us players and Skyrim will be the jungle-gym, half the time I'm surprised they didn't hire half the people who made mods on this site.
Also My one major plan for ingame is to shoot a dragon outta the sky with a bow, I want to see that ugly mug ragdoll crash into the ground before burning up.
As far as graphically, I could care less. Unmodded Oblivion was garbage for quests. If they provide some good gameplay, that is Far more important! It looks like they made the dialogue system better, with a dynamic approach. You can walk away from somebody talking to you, without the annoying close up of their face.
Did the horse refuse to go any further up the path? It kind of looked that way to me.
Cool new spells:
Clairvoyance: Finally they made guidance magic based. Compasses were lame in Oblivion.
Matrix Time Slow: Killing in slow mo is awesome. Neo would be impressed
Sith Pull/Push: "You have failed me for the last time"
Traps: A static magical trap is a great idea.
Lightning Storm: It looks like they take our community more and more seriously (casting spells from activators). They then brought it to the next level!!!
