Hmm... read on forums about guys planning on buying a small SSD disc to run this game from...
That's actually a pretty cool idea for a performance boost in just about any game you want 
I think I should be able to run Skyrim pretty well though... max out pretty much all current gen games in 1920x1080 HD so... yeah should be fine...
Though so far we haven't seen any actual PC gameplay I think... and the Todd developer guy mentioned the PC version shipping with higher quality textues which sounds awesome PC MASTER RACE ÜBER ALLES!

Atleast I can sleep at night, knowing that Skyrim will arrive, fine n' dandy, and will run on my console, that thought puts me to sleep like a baby  .

My interest in Oblivion has been kept alive for 5 years by mods.
Playing the next game on a console simply doesn't exist in my universe. NEVER...!
EDIT:
Now replaying Oblivion as a Nord warrior. Just to ya know... set the mood for the sequel... 
No crashes in a few hours of playing. Jesus **** the gods are with me on this one.

This game is going to be soooooo good  , there's plenty of good games coming out, but Skyrim tops them all in my heart and for the best part of 11 n' 12 I doubt I'll purchase any other game, mostly due to the fact that I may be shipped off  and not because Skyrim is so jizztastic. /
Also I restarted as a Dark Elf, necromancer. (Death Knight)

God I wanna know more about all the spells! Especially Illusion and Alteration...
I mean... Destruction seems to have gotten much more interesting with many different spells... what could other schools have that's new?
Man I can think up a whole bunch of fun stuff for Illusion... my favourite school.
I think a really cool thing about Illusion could be that your enemy does not know that he's under certain spells! Illusion spells often take place in the mind of the victim after all... simply messing up his view of reality.
So... the usual ol' spells are stuff like Frenzy, Paralyze, Command, Invisibility and so on... I can think of a few additions that would be cool though.
Sleep
Target falls asleep (still stands up, just bows his head down). Makes for easy approach. Target may partially resist the spell, in which case he becomes less conscious but still quite aware of his surroundings. A smart Illusionist can use this to kill entire groups of enemies or just walk right past them. He'd have to keep an eye on them so they don't wake up though...
Decoy
Creates a copy of yourself at target location. The decoy will fight though obviously not do any damage since it doesn't really exist. A nice way to you know... distract.
Fear
Kind of like the demoralize spell but more interesting. The Fear spell creates an aura around the player that makes the enemy perceive you as FRICKING SCARY AS ****. Some enemies will of course be couragous and try to fight you anyway, but some, less strong-minded people, will fall to the floor whimpering in fear of your visage.
Prolonged strong exposure to this spell would ultimately turn your victim into a shivering vegetable, at which point he's basically dead to you. Loot him and leave his panicking body on the floor. You sick basterd.
Darkness
Creates a void around the player of complete blackness. Neither the player nor enemies that rely on their eyes can see eachother. A Detect Life or Nighteye spell will allow you to see through the void however (though this would force you to use one hand for Darkness and one hand for vision, so you wouldn't be able to abuse it easily.)
Just some ideas I thought would be cool...

EDIT:
I'm getting more and more respect for the game's director Todd Howard btw...
When asked about DLC he just said "we'll think about DLC when we're done with this game"
That's the way to do it... not like other developers who cut their game's content so they can release it later for more cash.

Todd Howard is the same prick who promised "Oblivion will be better than Morrowind" and played trough the Oblivion demo making WILD promises.
Not sure if he is to be trusted.

Nah man he's cool. Games evolve during development, not everything can be realized.
For example, Half Life 1 was gonna have moss that grew in real time. Yeah, for real.

You crazy Luddite, design-wise oblivion definitely trumped Morrowind.

Indeed.
Gonna be an epic battle for game of the year between The Witcher 2, Deus Ex: HR and TES V: Skyrim I imagine...
EDIT:
People have spotted some different kinds of dragons when playing this game at conventions.
Only one was described but it sounded pretty cool.
A green amphibian looking dragon, described as serpentine.
Probably breathes poison.
...
Dragons sound awesome overall... they can naturally use dragon shouts as well... you can hear them chanting the words for fire-breath before flamethrowing you ^^
There's a shout you can learn that transports you stealthily behind your opponent. Might be interesting if a dragon uses that one on ya
EDIT2:
Imma keep updating you guys on this game whether you like it or not...

Some very interesting stuff... particularly about certain animations...

Nice racials for my beloved Argonians.
Too tired to look through the perks though, but I guess that can wait till I got the game... (Or later when I'm super bored. -.-)

There's nothing I love more then capturing souls, when you slew a creature and you can see a purple whiff of air flutter out of their limp bodies into my black soul gem, to feed my blade

I never liked Soul Gems since you were forced to find new ones all the time. But I guess I will have to learn to like 'em this time around... :/

Azuras star is a greater or grand soul gem that doesn't get destroyed when the soul within it gets used. I only began to use soul trap then, and now with my necromancer playthrough i's kinda mandatory .

Looks like Skyrim will have proper Necromancy at least... not just "Summon Skeleton" but rather "Reanimate Dead"... target a corpse and reanimate it... likely.
So ya can actually roleplay a Necromancer now. Yay.
Also found this interesting from another forum thread:
Quote:
When one of the previewers asked an npc about his family, the man called over his wife and kid by name and introduced them to the previewer.
It's little stuff like that which makes a game really immersive. He doesn't just talk about his family when they're right behind him, he actually calls on them.
Sounds like they're really using that free-camera dialogue system to their benefit.

I wonder if there's still a limit as to the amount of summoned/reanimated creatures that you can have at a time  . I seriously wouldn't mind slaughtering an entire village and raising them all as undead, regardless of individual strength. ( to keep it balanced, the reanimated horde would have to be incredibly weak, but it's for role-play for me, so I wouldn't mind)

Conjuration
- Summon 2 Atronachs or reanimated zombies
It's a perk. I doubt you can have more than that considering that you only have... two hands.
Or well I dunno, maybe you don't have to keep the spell in your hand to keep the summon active. Maybe it's just fire and forget.

Also did I hear right that there's going to be children? I wouldn't mind having a few dozen heirs to my glorious woodland realm, then have them all devoured by an unscripted dragon  , then I go on a long quest to avenge my lost family. Cliche' but fun I dare-say , this game is going to be veeeery interesting, overall and in terms of role-play.
