For the sake of doughnuts, CDs, swiss cheese, and the ozone layer, I hope: "This __________ has a hole in it. I will f*ck it with the passion of a thousand raging suns" is not your general life ethos.
But in this case, while I frown upon your actions, I embrace the sentiment.
My disc and I will live a loving, albeit chaste, life together come November 11th.
Looks like Oblivion HD. Which is by no means a bad thing at all though I don't think it'll age as well as other big titles currently out at the moment, graphically anyway. Still, I don't care too much for that since it's hella Elder Scrolls, which means sinking in over 200+ hours into this baby. Very Morrowind-esque music too.
Its look amazing and great, but at core it still looks very much like Oblivion in terms of combat.
I won't judge till I play it but somewhere in the last years I got over RPG combat in a game that's not turnbased or an mmo etc.
The fight on top of the tower with the dragon and the storm summoning was freaking mental, for that alone I'd buy it.
Still pretty curious to the female models!
Nice, we get to hear a bunch of the music in this. The one playing at the beginning of the third video is actually a song from Morrowind (maybe a slight remake, but an awfully faithful one, if so).
I notice you can now un-notch an arrow, a la Dark Messiah and Mount and Blade. Hated that you just had to shoot the arrow into the ground before if you changed your mind about firing it.
Looks like valuables (jewelry, gems, etc.) are worth more in Skyrim than in Oblivion, which is nice.
It's pretty much the same demo that was shown at E3, Quakecon, etc. but it's good to finally be able to see it in proper HD. November can't get here soon enough.
Also, the music at the start of Part 3 is straight out of Morrowind, I'm pretty sure it's the exact same song, albeit in a higher quality.
God this game looks so amazing . I cannot wait . I am still not sure if I should get it on PC and just run on on my shitty system or break down and get it for PS3 . But these vids make me super excited ....in the pants
I think the thing about getting on PC for me is the modding I can play around with after I play the game . But my PC is probably not going to live up to what is needed :(

Considering it's being developed for current-gen consoles, as long as your PC is comparable, you should be able to run it.
This has definitely made me more sure of what the game will feel like. I'm a little disappointed at how much it seems like Oblivion, just because I was hoping for some more precise combat and I prefer Morrowind myself, but it still looks like a great game that I'll play for a long, long time.
@Ravenlight: Well I can run Dues Ex: HR pretty well . Just gets laggy in some parts or what I first load it .

I'm also kinda disappointed that it looks a lot like oblivion in terms of combat.
Holy fucking shit fucks. This game looks absolutely incredible and it astounds me every time I see something new.

Love the super minimal hud.I agree it's nice and simple and clean. It would be better if there were some numerical value on the health/magicka/stamina bars though.
I really like the hud. The only thing that annoys me the "X skill has increased" message. It incredible distracting and information is far from being important enough to warrant it. It would be better if it popped up in the upper corner instead of the middle of the screen
Framerate seems kinda jacked but its nice to be able to watch these videos without the QuakeCon crowd shouting "KILL IT!" or "HAVE SEX WITH THAT HORSE!" etc.Amen. If I was what's-his-name during that presentation, I would have packed up and left; fuck what my superiors thought.
In the third video, at about 3:29, you can clearly see that it is raining indoors.
Man, that brings me back to my days with Morrowind.

Just wait for him to go down the stairs.
Combat. combat, combat.
Where's the persuasion and other RPG elements? This just looks like a first-person hack and slasher. This isn't Elder Scrolls, this is madness!
Also, I'm not going to trust Todd Howard. This whole thing is probably scripted and planned out to trick people that this game is going to be as epic as shown.
During the small village portions, I got some huge Oblivion chills. The awkward passing conversations, the aimless wandering, the nonstop axe-sharpening.
Doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to everything else the game has to offer, I just hope it's the fact that I've seen similar guided footage before, and not that the character interactions are as shallow as in Oblivion.
The more I see of the game the more it seems to become a prettier Oblivion which makes me sad because I was really hoping they'd improve where it mattered, obviously I might be totally wrong and it may be excellent but I can't help but have these little doubts creeping in the more Oblivion-y stuff I see.

What does this even mean? What "Oblivion-y" stuff are you seeing? What exactly are you inferring from these, mostly combat-orientated, videos?
@Aishan:
My guess is, by "Oblivion-y" the person means "hollow" which is a word I threw around comparing Oblivion to Morrowind. Looked good, but lacked substance and filler.
Just guessing, I could be completely wrong.
