lol. ew. Its like they have someone who built a filter that blocks literally every word of feedback on their shitty old engine.  Well then, I guess its time to level the expectations.  "

As much as I've been badmouthing Oblivion lately, that trailer had me really excited and I'm glad the Skyrim rumours proved true, as the snowy village in Oblivion was my favourite area of the game.  I hope they can create more great looking areas like that and we have less of the pre-generated dullness.  Only think that really stuck out to me was..  The story seems to be exactly the same as Guild Wars 2 and it'll no doubt be GW2 that takes the flak for "copying it" despite the fact we've known that would be the plot for several years already! 
 
Also, I'll be very disappointed too if it turns out they're still using the Gamebryo engine.  Even with serious modifications I doubt their ability to get anything good from it.  I also hope they realise that gamers don't need everything so dumbed down in order to enjoy it.  I'm not against improvements and streamlining like what Mass Effect 2 did..  But Oblivion could have been a much better game if they kept some of the complexity and features from the previous games.

No Gamebryo.

Heh, Bioware and their dragons.

There have been massive improvements in game engines and game design over years since Olivion was released. Oblivion was a fantastic game at the time, but it needs a major overhaul. I mean top-to-bottom overhaul. If they don't do that, I'm a little on the fence about it. I'll almost certainly still buy it, but I want something more than just a halfhearted upgrade. The Assassin's Creed games (at least the last two) have shown how big and complex an open-world game can be, and so I'm hoping they take their queues from that. And I hope they've learned their lessons from Fallout: New Vegas as well. Somehow, though, I doubt they have.

Why this has to be on gamebryo. That engine was aged when fallout 3 came out and that was 2 years ago.

This is key. "

god I hope they make it more like morrowind and not oblivion.

My one hope is that it is on a new engine, the old oblivion engine can't handle a new game, as New Vegas showed. I just want that mind blowing moment of beautiful graphics and amazing open gameplay that I got with oblivion.

Cannot wait for this!! definatley buying this !!!

My body is ready o_o.

I want it to actually be fun to play.

I want a new engine.

MORE HERO OF KAVACH!

"  Sure I've never been a fan of any of Bethesda's games to date, but if they manage to put together something really awesome in an incredible engine I'll give it a fair shot. "

I like that it takes place in  Skyrim mountain caves, Nord long houses etc should make a really good setting bringing back memories  of blood moon

So stoked, I hope they'll find a new engine.

"  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SKOOMA FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Yup defintely awesome it has been announced and also agreed with some of you above posters, time for a new game engine or at least a heavily, heavily modified gamebryo. For the last 8 years both Elder Scrolls installments had lead the way in regard to graphical prowess (for their time). Really hope that tradition is continued.

Oh, is Skyrim supposed to be a winter-like world? That sounds awesome to me.

Mods. Nuff said. "

Definitely excited for this game.
 
I loved Oblivion.

So excited for this game. i hope the world is huge and the sword play is better, also hope that they use a new fucking engine! 
 
skyrim is meant to be a smaller continent that cyrodil but i hope they make it seem bigger than oblivion did.

" @MisterMollusk: I think the problem is that they've been hyping up Dragons for a long time with the Elder Scrolls games.  They've always been present, but they've been saving them actually being in the games until now..  Which just happens to be smack dab in the middle of a big dragon fad.  It really takes away from the impact it might have otherwise had.

Again, definitely no new engine.  But making the world seem bigger wouldn't be hard.  Morrowind was a much smaller map but felt a lot larger because of the amount of detail and unique locations.. as opposed to Oblivions pre-generated forests. "

From what I have heard among the rumors, the game will use a new engine developed by bethesda, which I hope is the case. Oblivion was amazing at the time, but that was a long time ago 

I'd rather see a smaller world that is more detailed and has more happening in it. Oblivion felt a little stretched out, and there were too many generic dungeons peppering the landscape. 

Between this, Dragon Age 2, MA3, and Fallout: NV DLC, I may have to quit my job next year. I don't even know when I will have time for non-RPG's like Uncharted and Batman:AC, hell, I still have to finish the main quest on Oblivion and Dragon Age: Origins! Oh what a time to be alive.

• i'd like a crafting system...i wanna be able to take those clusters of scrap metal and turn them into something.  Alchemy was designed way better in Oblivion then in Morrowind so i'd like to see them fallow through with crafting this time around.
• I like the idea introduced in Fallout 3 of using other weapons to repair your weapons.  
• Mainly though, i just want more variety in the environments like it was in Morrowind. 
• The leveling should be better balenced

I went on the Elder Scrolls forum for a bit. Lore overload.

This is EPIC! news. Cant wait to add this to my list.
 
I want great dialog options and loads of  customisation

New Engine. Just for the love of god, use a new engine

I was hoping for Black Marsh or Elswyr but this will do. Boost your frost resistance mofos.
