The 10 original classes of Oblivion are going to be back. Skyrim may have a little of morrowind map on it. Weapons and spells are assigned to each hand, so you can have lightning on one hand and a sword in another, or you can double spells and have a super fireball attack!.
Anyway this is a Elder scrolls discussion thread. Get up to date info and some of the story line. Oh almost forgot, in skyrim the dragons are unscripted, expect random dragons trying to attack you.
I will choose modderators for this thread if you would like to be one. |

@shinnon
They may be adding extra classes, but not likely. I believe there will be NPC dwarfs though. |

| Not as good as a fast-moving dwarf in armor that's too big for him using a two-handed hammer. ;-; |

Read this quote from betheseda-
'Argonians will likely be removed for obvious reasons and replaced by Dwarves or Snow elves in Skyrim. This is a good thing, as few of the races have proven to be as useless in the past as the Argonians.' |

More info-
Skyrim is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, in the land of Skyrim. The province has erupted into civil war after the assassination of its king. Concurrently, the god Alduin, who takes the form of a massive dragon, has arisen to destroy the world. The player character is one of the last living Dovahkiin (Dragonborn), and must fend off Alduin and save Skyrim from destruction.
Folklore is commonplace within Skyrim's game world. Creatures such as mammoths and sabre-toothed cats are encountered throughout the game and can be slain. The legendary dragons have a particular influence on gameplay and story, and are a challenging opponent for the player. Dragons are not scripted, as they can show up anytime, anywhere and are capable of attacking anything. Different races of dragons are encountered throughout Skyrim, either alone or in small groups. They can speak directly to the player character in the world's native language of Draconic. Dragons can attack cities and towns at random, "merrily [ravaging] towns without warning"; often, dragons nose-dive to the ground, march through city streets and breathe fire, which engulfs and causes significant damage to city structures. Not every dragon will be hostile, and some can be communicated with. |

More info-
Plot Skyrim is not a direct sequel to Oblivion; rather, it is a new chapter in the Elder Scrolls series, set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion. In the premise to Skyrim, the Empire began ceding territory to the Elven nations it once ruled, because there was no heir to the Emperor's throne. The Blades had no one to defend, and gradually died, were murdered, or secluded themselves from the rest of the world. After the king of Skyrim was assassinated, a civil war broke out amongst the native Nord race – the majority being those who wished for Skyrim to secede from the Empire, and the rest being those who wished for Skyrim to stay in the Empire. As with previous Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim begins with the player character as an unknown prisoner, on the way to their own execution. The player character eventually learns that Skyrim's civil war is last in a sequence of prophetic events foretold by the Elder Scrolls, who also foretell of the return of Alduin, the Nordic god of destruction. Taking the form of a gigantic dragon, Alduin is prophesied to consume the world with his servants, the Jills (a race of black dragons). The player character is the last Dovahkiin (Dragonborn), a dragon hunter anointed by the gods to help fend off the threat Alduin poses to Skyrim and Tamriel. Aiding the player is Esbern (voiced by Max von Sydow), one of the last Blades. |

Keep posting for more info!
Here are all-new details on the game:
No class selection at the start. Every skill you level adds to your overall level. After leveling, choose from additional health, magic or stamina, along with new perks. No 50-level cap, instead you advance slower as you progress. 18 total skills. Mysticism and others were cut. 10 total Races to choose from. 5 Schools of Magic to choose from: Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion and Restoration. Morrowind had 27 skills, Oblivion 21. You can specialize or dabble in all skills. Set 200 years after Oblivion. Dragons have returned. As Civil War rages, you must stop the Dragon God as the destined Dragonborn. Developers promise combat is more “dynamic and tactical” than before. Focus was on improving combat and the feel of weapons in your hands. Each hand can be assigned a function. Sprinting is now possible, depletes Stamina. Quests will be more dynamic and modified based on how you’ve built your character, you skills and your decisions.
Gameplay in the third-person viewpoint has been improved to be more natural. Variation in caves and underground (hopefully underwater as well) portions have been greatly improved. The game includes five “massive” cities. Conversations are more realistic. No more static characters, they will look at you different, walk around as they talk, etc. You can carve new weapons out of metal at a forge by weapon smithing. Both hands are used in combat allowing for dual-wielding. Such using a Dagger with your left hand and a Mace in your right. This greatly varies combat. You can have a Western-style Duel by challenging any NPC character to a life-or-death “Duel”. A new Inheritance system means killing a shopkeeper will transfer ownership to their family. This will anger them. You can still get a quest from the family of an inheritance but it will take more skill in conversing or special favors from you to get the quest. The game will now include level-scaling. For better or for worse. Enemies will be matched based on your strengths and weaknesses. Enchanting returns. The game includes a “Radiant Storytelling” system. This means the game looks at everything you’ve done and tailors Quests based on your choices. So the game will pick a place you’ve never been based on the surrounding quests you’ve done, people you’ve talked to, where you’ve been, etc. The amount of information the game stores based on how you play is infinitely more complex this time around. Fast-travel returns. Travel anywhere with a single button press. Towns will have a lot more to do. Details are few, but jobs seem to include weapon tailoring, farming, cooking, mining, etc. Graphics now include dynamic shadows. Face models have been dramatically overhauled. Characters show more emotion and there are distinct facial differences between races. Characters look more realistic. The game includes a “Radiant AI” system. Water flows more naturally in the game. Weather effects have been enhanced, snow falls dynamically, trees move independently in the wind. Beards have been added and look natural and realistic. There are randomly generated Quests. You can run backwards but not as quickly as you run toward. Realism! There are more open cities than before, complete with random dragon attacks! Character creation has been greatly improved. Individual body features are now customizable. Landscapes and dungeons will be more unique and varied than before. The first-person viewpoint can be HUD free. There are finishing moves! These are different based on each weapon and the enemy you are killing! The game will include kids…
