What are you most excited to go for?

[Ryuhza]

I am going to try and dual wield magic staffs.

Or if they are in, a combat staff alongside a magic staff.

Or if a magic staff can be used both ways... eh... first choice.


Trailer has got me so excited- and I too can't wait to see the other races in greater detail- or rather... at all.

[NordFtw]

I want a sword and sheild. Generic, yes, but always been my favourite. Either that or a massive hammer. Always loved big hammers. Not as good as claymores but more satisfying:P

I want to see the new NPC Daily Routine system. How that works.
You know, in Oblivion it was good, but it could be better than:

-Wake up
-Eat
-Go out to work/stand around
-Go to bar
-Go Home
-Eat
-Sleep
-Repeat until the player learns this routine and kills you

In Skyrim I hope its improved:)

Thread made me smile.

First thing I'm going to try are bows. From the looks of the trailer,bows looked awkward to use at close range. Also,being attacked makes you drop the arrow,right? I think all of this this will be compensated by that large damage boost they were talking about. Bows weren't all that powerful in Oblivion,mainly because of the tiny 3x damage multiplier in Sneak Mode. Hopefully in Skyrim,these powerful bows will get a better damage multiplier when in Sneak Mode,and will be a more strategic and tactial weapon. And as a fellow Hircine lover,I really hope that hunting will play a larger role in Skyrim. The part of the trailer with the hunter ambushing the deer hopefully says it will.

Yeah I loved the bows in oblivion but they did need big improvments, this is a dumb thing of me to say,but one thing Oblivion did with bow that I loved as that when you shot arrows, they werent like just a moving texture that if it touched someone it would hurt them. It was an object! You would shoot these objects at people, and depending on the material you shot at, it would either stick or bounce off!
Anyways that scene with the deer made me stoked, and that deer just looked wonderful.

[Red Guardian]

Shield + Shield.

Always.

[jakeuh_hates_dunmer]

Haha confused turtle mode?

[MARS]

I agree with Cactus completely.

[Cactus]

I agree with Cactus completely.

I too also agree with him completely, too.

[Elegost]

Most excited for, hmmmmm well every single MB of data upon Skyrims disc lol

[lockycharms]

I wish to duel-weild bows.

[Master Z]

I wish to duel-weild bows.

How would you fire arrows then?

[ch00_bakka]

Well, in the words of Dark Spark (I think),

I could dual wield bows. I would just look silly lying on my back holding onto the bows with my feet.

/paraphrase

[KneelBeforeZod]

Honestly...this might be nerdy, but I'm interested in the armor and clothing options. Hopefully, there'll be some unique stuff that only I wear. I hated that pretty much every clothing option(DLC doesn't count, here) would inevitably be worn by somebody else. I'm the dang hero, man!

If they do make a Hand to Hand skill, I hope gauntlets will modify the damage. Silver gauntlets for ghosts, plz.

If they make any Jester/clown face options, then I can finally make my Joker-esque Rogue, which would be loveliness-incarnate.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

[Arzgonzianz]

I think it would be cool if I could use Hand to Hand with spells assigned to each hand, so I could punch, and hit them with fire at the same time. Would that work? :/

[Snuke]

Ooo, that would be really cool - hands with magic effects. Not sure about each hand having a different spell effect but it would be cool if you could do frost damage with punches. Your hands could have that smoking glowing blue look to them.

Hey what about dwarves? Any chance they actually exist in Tamriel? They've got armor all over the place.... With all the dragon talk I can't help thinking about LOTR dwarves setting off for the Lonely Mountain.

Dwarves were actually elves in Tamriel and they've dissapeared a long time ago.Here: take a look at the wiki.

[butterslug]

excited to see my new jail cell home, how I break out, and everything to follow.
Dual-wield combos, new look of races, everything, a whole new world

[Allekalle1]

These are the things i'm going to start with:

First off, A small axe and a round shield.

Then (if there's any, probably not) A long spear.

Mabye a dagger with poison?

Dual wielding spells, i just have to try that.

[Korutsuru]

i'm exited for create my character, in oblivion i spend something like 3 hours in that step but look the result: http://www.gameinformer.com/blogs/membe ... -leon.aspx (scroll down)

it's from xbox

greetings

[KneelBeforeZod]

Wow, Leon is a handsome bass-toward.

[Korutsuru]

Wow, Leon is a handsome bass-toward.

thank you, it was the main goal i was tired of ugly characters -_-
i hope the face editing tool of skyrim allowme to create something similar i wanna play leon there

(i know 200 year betwen oblivion and skyrim destroy any posibility of play the same character but i don't care! it was exciting play this character)

greetings

[Neofelis]

Like a few others I think I'll go with a one-handed axe with a shield, mainly because it will suit the Nord character I'm planning. After that, I don't know, really. I'll try everything eventually. I'm especially excited about archery and polearms if they're included (a glaive or naginata style polearm would be awesome!)

Oh, and a want to be able to take off my horned helmet, equip it to a free hand and proceed to beat a shopkeeper about the head and neck with it!

[KneelBeforeZod]

Yeah! I want nonviolent combat options, that won't incur as much of a penalty as trying to murder someone.

[Fajita!]

I'm excited in two main areas:

1. The ability to bind whatever you want to each hand. I love just how many options it opens to whatever play style you want to chose.

2. The new leveling system. I hated having to choose 7 skills and constantly grind them out to level. Just leveling up by using whatever I find to be best for my character sounds great. The perks look sweet as well, the fact that there are tons of them instead of 4 for each skill makes me happy; it adds a lot of replay value to the game.

[NickNabors]

Honestly? Everything. There's no one thing that really pops out, it's a mixture of all kinds of things. I'm most looking forward to just starting up the game and seeing what it's all about. If I HAD to pick, it's just how gorgeous the game looks. I want to see that on my 32" HD TV.

I second that.

[Dudeman]

I'm particularly excited about the idea of being able to increase magicka each level instead of capping out intelligence and having nowhere to go from there.
