Looks excellent. Skyrim is running away with my gaming hopes this year.
Under normal circumstances Id be going mental for a Bioware title like DA2 or ME3, but since Biowares main concern now is snaring mass market casual gamers, and Im fully expecting it to show with ME3 (just like in ME2), I wouldnt be surprised if Ive purchased my last Bioware game ever with ME2.
Bethesda do dumb their games down as well, but Bioware have turned into dumbing down extremists by comparison. Im fully expecting there to be things needlessly ripped out in Skyrim like in Oblivion, but Bethesda seem willing to make up for it.
For starters it looks like they have finally implemented a magic system, particularly the offensive magic that is destruction, which now no longer is simply firing lightning, fire or ice subtraction spells at enemies, but actually has a unique and varied magic system.
The mage punching the ground in a blast of fire in the new vid looks like a massively welcome change as a regular magic user player.
