Unless they go back to Morrowind level of complexity (at the very least), I'm not expecting much.
I've never understood why people complain about game mechanics that they don't even have to use. If you don't like fast travel . . . just don't use it.
Agreed... would be nice to have a toggle for it when you start a game, so the people who don't like it but use it because it's there can control themselves.
I usually prefer a more immersive world, but when I have a limited amount of time to play I *really* don't want to spend 20 minutes immersed in a freaking road.
Been waiting to hear where the game would be set. Skyrim is in the North, so mountains and snow, will be an interesting setting compared to whats out there. Would be especially interesting if we see anything amazing in terms of how snow and corresponding effects are modeled, which to me was the most visually interesting part of Crysis.
Disappoint. What can they do with Skyrim? Snow, snow and more snow plus some mountains? I liked the diversity of Cyrodiil.
Realy? I thought it was the underwater levels.

If by "complexity" you mean "little direction on where to go, and no easy way to travel other than the limited silt striders", then I hope they don't go back to that. Don't get me wrong, I loved Morrowind (as well as Arena and Daggerfall), but don't mistake a more primitive approach to game design as "complexity"
it did help the world feel much larger. there is no need for fast travel except for lazy people.
Another title using the gamebryo engine, color me limp. Likely it will be built from the ground up for consoles. I can't take this kind of teasing followed by the inevitable punishment.
Is that confirmed? (Can't see the trailer @ work)
I'll be really pissed if it's the same engine.

i dont think the trailer showed it will be using the same engine when the trailer didnt really show anything.
they do need a new engine badly...
the only upside with using the same engine is they have had plenty of practice with it so the game should be polished pretty well.
but the engine is so dated it wouldnt feel like a new game and would feel like oblivion 1.5 with less portals.
Morrwind. It's been SO long, I haven't finished that either. Maybe tomorrow I'll start a thread dedicated to the initiative of re-starting a full-blown Morrowind mod playthrough. Then, on to Oblivion. Maybe Skyrim will be out by the time I'm done. Trying one more time to avoid the jenga-tower of fragile Elder Scrolls modded installs taking a shit on me is a daunting and foreboding task.

@Parmenides,
I'm not going to waste my breath hoping for the gamebryo engine to be changed much at all. Didn't the company that developed it go tits up and get sold off in pieces? This is Bethesda we're talking about here, they most likely will leave the same "trademark" bugs in there for the next iteration. Where are you getting the "tailored" and "revamped" stuff from?
The point is they build the game around it. Developers know most people will use it if it's there so they keep that in mind when building the game world.I've never understood why people complain about game mechanics that they don't even have to use. If you don't like fast travel . . . just don't use it.
Oh well, at least I won't have to upgrade my GTX 460's for quite a while.
I dont care what engine it uses as long as its fun. Its like people forgot games are supposed to be FUN not pretty.

Also, about Morrowind, care to share some trade secrets? Even in my best attempt, my last modded install was not smooth and crashed to desktop often. I don't have tons of patience, but I followed a web guide as closely as I was able to and still experienced calamity. You must have the patience of Buddha, if that's the case then I'd really appreciate some pointers.
