Edit: he also adds later on!!! "-Todd made it a point to confirm the Dark Brotherhood are in. He then opened a note (animated unfolding) that displays a black handprint and the text "we know"
So Dark brotherhood confirmed!!
Ok here the main bit:
"Hey guys, I was one of the lucky few to make it into QuakeCon. Better yet I had priority acces and ended up in the front row, center for the presentation. Photos before the show:

Enough of that, here's what I saw...(sorry we could not film during the presentation!)
Ok so basically it was the E3 demo but this was played live (no cuts) so we got to see an extended edition and some great new things. Todd started in the same road as the other presentation to many many cheers from the audience. He did stop when the fox ran by as the crowd was demanding blood and for him to kill it. He chased after it for a moment but lost it. He continued down, killed the wolves and kept going. This time it didn't jump to the town but rather he walked a bit further on the path. Folks yelled for him to jump in the water so he did. It ripples similar to morrowind/oblivion. We also got to see fish jumping in the stream next to where he entered. A bit further down the path he was attacked by a bow wielding guy...most likely a Bosmer, he had the swooped back hair. He struck me as more masculin then previous Bosmer in the series! He then continued on to the first town, walked past a dark elf and a (nord?) lady talking and then talked to the smith near the forge same as E3. He then walked around town a bit (this is new) he pointed out a tavern and walked around the left side of town. He came across two nord children talking next to a dog. The kids look great and the voices were appropriate, I missed what they said though (sorry!). Todd then shows us the inventory with a couple cool new details:
-He shows books which zoom in and open (very awesome!) and changing pages has a page flip animation.
-He shows the magic/dragon shout mentu which has circular animated particle effects for each spell. Mages should be thrilled here!
-The Dragon Shouts list three numbers, most likely seconds for cool downs for each word. One of them was something like 80, 150, 200 but each one was different.
Next he left town by jumping on a horse, he showed the throat of the mountain and all of this was the same as E3. He then continued up the path to a new section where he used a detect life and frenzy spell at a small black tower/fort looking building (very cool structure!). He was too far to see the npc he cast frenzy on but that npc ran into the building and was swiftly killed by the NPC inside. Todd briefly paused to shoot his bow as this NPC (an Orc!). Continuing on a bit further on foot he came to Bleakwood Barrows and the dragon there took flight like E3. The dragon didn't follow the same path this time and actually hovered in the air flapping his wings and shooting fire for a bit. He then landed at the same place in the E3 demo as Todd ran inside.
Inside the dungeon was mostly the same, steath killing the two bandits (redguards?). He picked off the female first after they were done talking about the golden claw quest (which starts the questline via a text popup). Going on he dispatched two Skeever (rats) with a ice trap on the ground. He then came to the giant spider fight which was actually kind of scary. You cut webs to enter the room and the music changes for the fight (the music was amazing throughout btw!). The spider dropped in from the ceiling and the fight went on. It took quite a large amount of damage to kill even with Todd's souped up stats. He finally dispactched it and came to the Dunmer caught in the web. The old Dunmer gruff voice is back and sounds great as it did in Morrowind. The Dunmer takes off after being free'd, while saying "You fool, I'll never share the treasure" or something like that. The kill animation doesn't play this time so it's not a guaranteed thing I suppose! He just dies and ragdolls with a swipe from Todd.
Todd continues on and proceeds to kill a few undead draughr(spelling?) the same as E3...there's an iron gate trap that swings back and forth that I never noticed in the E3 trailers. My memory is getting a bit fuzzy here but Todd then proceeds to jump through the traps using the Whirlwind Sprint shout and down a couple caveways killing the draughr in the E3 trailer. Again the kill animations are not trigged in the same place so it's not a scripted thing. Todd finally ends up in the Dragon Priest / Word Wall room and this goes down about the same as E3...he finally makes it to the exit which has a 20-30 second load screen (this is running on Xbox). It was the same load tie to load into the dungeon as well.
He's then on the large open tundra with the mammoths and giants. People yell for him to fight them which he does like the trailer. The dragon then swoops in and picks up the giant. We get to see him fall a bit longer though and it seems like he is less "floaty" falling this time. The dragon battle goes on for a LONG while...there were several cuts in the E3 trailer. The dragon does not fallow the same paths flying and lands in different places then he did in E3. The dragon does not eat the guard but rather knocks him down with a bite...kinda cool
Todd finished him off and moves on to the Frost Dragon...this all goes along very similar to the E3 trailer. I will say the dragon kill animation rocks to see in person. It's long but very brutal and was meet with huge cheers from the crowd.Finally Todd announced the Collectors Edition, it includes the game, making of DVD, big map, a huge book of concept art, and a 1 foot tall statue of Alduin (Todd name checks him!).

Pictures of before and after coming soon via edit, more details as possible. We could not film during the presentation unfortunatly but there were camera crews there. Hopefully bootleg footage comes soon!
Feel free to ask me anything guys!
