Looks great. I didn't really like Oblivion, but it had a metric buttload of potential. This looks like it'll actually capitalize on that potential. All I really want is less bugs, better graphics, exciting combat, and better quest design. Is that too much to ask?

I wants me some Elder Scrolls! Fallout just doesn't scratch that itch like Elder Scrolls can.  
 
The moment he screams and the music kicks in is stunning.

I didn't want to say this because I love Bioware games too much, but move over Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2, because Skyrim is my most anticipated game of 2011!

Can't wait! I hope they announce a good collector's edition.
 
Also, the new theme is sounding good! I'm so glad they got Jeremy Soule back on board. He pretty much IS The Elder Scrolls to me now.

I for one am stoked for this one.  I just hope being a Thief type is as viable as it was in Oblivion.  I plan on fencing my way to the top.  The quests are what really made Oblivion shine so I look forward to seeing the superb Betheseda writing at work.
