Is anyone else a little nervous about Skyrim?

I recently just read the Game Informer article about it and saw some screenshots of the game and it's gameplay.... no, I'm not nervous at all. In fact, I'm expecting this to rank pretty high in my favourite games list.

Oblivion was a train wreck without mods, hopefully Skyrim won't need the community to patch it up. That said, I'm excited about the setting because they might go back to exploring more interesting environments than your standard faux-Medieval Cyrodiil.

EDIT: I got Chinese characters in my captcha. What.

Mostly true. Morrowind was less generic and was a bit deeper than Oblivion, but the gameplay was an absolute disaster.
Hate to say this, boy-o, but Morrowind is pretty generic. Look at the racial array. You get three flavours of human, three flavours of elf, and two furries.

The utter lack of intro was really what completely killed the game on me. God, that sucked...

I am more nervous about the fact it is a mountainous area. I hated how Oblivion had so many hills you couldn't walk over. The "tcl" console command became my second best friend (after "unlock" the lockpicking on PC is awkwardly controlled).

Nope, either it'll suck dick and I won't give a fuck and play something else, or it'll be good and I'll have something new to play.

I don't really hype games up. I like Oblivion, but if Skyrim is a steaming piece of shit I won't really care, I'll just go play something else, or maybe Oblivion again.

Just hope that Bethesda get it right. If they don't, you have a bitching topic for ages.

I didn't think Oblivion was that great, so everything I've seen about Skyrim seems like a vast improvement to me.

I'm only nervous to see how they executed the changes they announced, more realistic acting trees, bring it on! I'll chop em all down.

You should not have said that first bit. The Morrowind guys are getting worse around these parts with the announcement, you shouldn't claim you're a fan if it's only for Oblivion (that's what they'll tell you at least)!

Anyway, no, it's doing what the series has always done. You should research the rest of the series before saying it's too different.
Damn elitist bastards. Although I do prefer Morrowind at the minute, I love Oblivion and it's merits far outweigh it's flaws. I only stopped playing because my character build wasn't too good and I had difficulty with the Oblivion gates. A flaw in all games that allow for custom character builds.

I want it on PC, although Xbox will be fine too. I need a gaming PC if I want it on PC so I'll have time to wait before I play it and will be able to ask a couple mates what they think of it and read all about it for the 2 weeks after it's release on The Escapist.

It looks good so it should be good. Just because the setting and lore may be something you won't prefer in comparison to other games, doesn't mean you won't like the game.

Look, while there were things about Oblivion that were not great (the speech system, the lack of armor/weapon options, the faces...ok so maybe there were quite a few things...) It still, overall, was an improvement upon what Morrowind had created. And trust me after reading the Gameinformer article on TES V, I'm not worried. At all. This game is going to rock so hard. Harder than you've ever known. New Graphics, a wider variety of spells, dual hand attacking system, new conversation system, dragon shouts. FUCKING DRAGON SHOUTS! Seriously, I can not wait til november, but I guess I'll just have to.

Go Elder Scrolls!

HA! Generic! Now that's a gem. The Dunmer, wildlife, architecture, dwarves, and many other things are unique to Morrowind

i read about it on Gameinformer and if they deliver on what they say their going to do with the game
then it will be one the greatest games ever
but i doubt that
either way im not nervous at all i trust that bethesda will make another great game
their just setting the bar too high

I don't get why people cringe and cry saying "OMG! NOT GONNA BE AS GOOD AS MORROWIND!". Morrowind sucks and you know it. It was a cluster-fuck of awfulness from the controls, the pointlessly large amount of armour slots (Left AND right gloves? WHAT THE HELL?!) all the way to the setting being just plain awful and a lack of any real intro.

Oblivion fixed Morrowind. Skyrim looks like another improvement.
What's that I hear? Someone making sense? Le gasp!

Well, I adore Oblivion, more than Morrowind in fact. I just hate to confront the MW fanboys.
