I'm waiting to have a computer good enough to play Skyrim on! :)  I'm a big fan of Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Morrowind (with the expansion packs).  My friend bought the collector's edition of Skyrim and he adores every chance he gets to play.
(I didn't get far with Elder Scroll : Arena in the DOS Emulator, mind ... ) http://www.elderscrolls.com/arena/


Woah, just watched the crazy TV commercial on http://www.elderscrolls.com/ which has real actors.  Somebody had a budget!

The links between Fallout and Oblivion are very close - I believe it uses the same graphics engine and there's a very similar approach to RPG tasks/quests.  In a shop I think I choose epic fantasy over apocalypse just because I had a bit too many ohmygodwe'reallgoingtodieinanuclearholocaust panic attacks in the 80's ;)

I love all the humour in the design of Fallout though - like the public service posters in BioShock. :)  I became engrossed watching my friend play it - the grim practicalities of survival, bottle-tops for money. Eep.  

Give me gold and shiny swords! :)

What characters are people playing in Skyrim then?
