The second and fourth items there sounds like they are taking lessons from the development of Fallout 3 (and Obsidian's New Vegas).
"It's just Fallout with swords"
har har. Bu no, they actually have perks there now
Anyway, if that is a realtime rendered screenshot, it looks cool.
But i still think the new "radiant ai" thingies will just make world immersion easier to break. I can picture myself running around town throwing out items to see people taking them, fighting for them, returning them to me (stop right there, good lord!) or whatever else was promised

I'm really excited, but I'd be more excited if Todd Howard hadn't talked up a lot of Oblivion's AI features, only to take them out completely when the game was released.

Hopefully.
I'm still skeptical of anything "radiant" about the game, but I won't deny that I'm super hyped for this game.

I didn't know you were a TES fan Jim! That's nifty! It's my favorite series. : )
Genius, I don't think they've talked about whether the new engine will be mod friendly, but I doubt they would take that functionality away.

WORD. Let's cross our fingers that the mammoths are replacements for the lame-ass silt riders.

In before everyone complains that each of these features will either: 1. Destroy the game utterly, 2. Weaken the game in order to appeal to "causals", or 3. Just demonstrates that Bethesda is going further down in quality.
I swear, it's like the "fans" of Bethesda/Bioware/Obsidian -want- their favorite company to pull a Squeenix and just start shitting on everything.

"So, somebody who likes you won't try to kill you because you stabbed their favorite plate."
I laughed really, really hard at this. But then stopped laughing because TES is one of my favorite electronic mischief-simulators. Unsure if this addition is a good thing.

More importantly, have Bethesda changed there unscrupulous practice of treating the public as Beta testers. Enough with jerking these guys off, will this game actually be playable when I purchase it.
Flex your journalistic muscles, Jim, you twat, and start asking some real questions.

I bought my 360 to play Oblivion. Until I found out it existed, I'd planned to remain a Sony loyalist and buy a PS3 once a few killer exclusives had dropped (still waiting, heh).
It wasn't a disappointment, though I'd read enough about the bugs in the original release to be constantly dreading a game-killing glitch. Don't know if I'll get Skyrim on release day, or wait a few months to let the first couple patches come out, but I'll surely get it eventually.

my excitement level reminds me of when I got that Oblivion reveal issue of Gameinformer years ago and almost had a fuckin' heart attack! I just Skyrim'd all over my jeans.
ASSASSINATION MISSIONS. RANDOMLY GENERATED DUNGEONS. MAMMOTHS.
GOTY 2011.
Also, it just hit me while reading this article - Due to the engine change and new NPC actions, I doubt the long-standing "Hey I'll just take this expensive weapon/item over in to this dark corner away from line of sight" method will work in Skyrim. It feels like I've lost an old friend.

Yeah, man. If that is a real time screenshot... I'm impressed. That is one thing that I'm hoping for... a more natural looking world to run around in. Oblivion just looked like someone clicked the "Generate World" button in most places. I am beyond excited about this game. I seriously haven't wanted a game this much in a long time. Needless to say... BONER.
Man, this game sounds like it's going to be amazing. I only hope I won't have to upgrade my PC for it. Wouldn't mind this getting delyaed btw, so many games I still have to play and SC2 is devouring all of the little free time I have
I can't wait for this, but I'll allow Bethesda as much time as they need to develop it. I don't want to see crazy spinning faces, nor do I want to fall through the world.
Yeah... not caring so much about the mammoths.
What I cam caring about? randomly generated dungeons.
Why has it taken modern RPGs so long to embrace elements of what made the RPGs and Roguelikes of old so damn great?

Mods... why havent they discussed the modding capablilities yet. >.<
I mean, hell , all they need to say is "It will be just as moddable as our previous games." and, bam, instantly sold me on it. ._.

Here are some links I found that include more info on the game, and images of in game footage (had to put them through Google translate because they were in french):

I'll believe non-creepy NPCs when I see it. Elder Scrolls IV was full of some of the most disturbing people I have ever seen in my life.
@MuddBstrd
I have the GI issues, and have seen the new character models. They look about as good as most people do in most next-gen games. They do not look fucking horrifying like Oblivion people. It is good. :)

Read on IGN you're the last of those sent by the gods to help defeat the dragons, and lo and behold, you have to go kill a big, nasty dragon. Can we get any more D&D here? What happened to trying to defeat someone who tapped the heart of a fallen god, who lives under a volcano, spreading disease with the volcano's ashes that causes deformity and madness? Obviously I don't want Dagoth Ur as a boss in every elder scrolls game, but if they could at least make some attempt at injecting a bit of creativity into the titles, I would be much happier. In Morrowind, I'd walk past a platform with a giant, living, hollowed out insect that was used for transport, see a city built in the ocean, with a captured moon floating above it, used as a prison. Maybe then I'd walk past the mushroom trees on my way to visit a wizard in a huge fungal tower grown from the earth. Best not forget my levitation potions, as they didn't install stairs. In contrast, every part of Oblivion looked like I was in the same very nicely rendered field taken from LOTR, with elven ruins dotting the landscape. Pretty, but no creativity.

I'm not a huge TES fan, but if they can finally get that whole "decent writing & voice acting" thing down along with this engine, FALLOUT 4 WILL BE FUCKING INCREDIBLE

First; you cited an article on RipTen that was cited from GI. Internet "journalism" is so incestuous.
Second; that screenshot is a scan from GI.
Third; cool details. Can't wait.

I'm going to knock every small woman and child out of my way come release night, just so I can play 10 minutes faster than they can.
it's REALLY hard reading about all of these amazing improvements in Bethesda's new engine while trying to play Fallout: New Vegas. SKYRIM will be the game that i take a day off work for this year!
