Chief amongst the deets is the fact that the game is set 200 years after Oblivion, the last entry in the series, within the a snow realm north of Cyrodil called Skyrim. Also, there will be ten races to choose from with customizable bodies and faces – including the ability to add beards! NICE! You’ll also have a selection of 18 skills and what’s being referred to as “Fallout-esque Perks”.
Beyond those tidbits, we also know that the game will include five “massive” cities, five magic schools, and a wide array of enemies including trolls, zombies, ice wraiths, and dragons to name a few. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, it’s been revealed that the game is running on an entirely new engine that will showcase dynamic snow and shadows, more detailed objects such as trees, and an improved third person view.
So, how jacked are you for the new Elder Scrolls? Sound off below with your thoughts on the game!

For now very good. I’m waiting for more details to tell the truth.
I’m going to lose so much time to this game when it comes out…and that is both a good and bad thing
OMFG! Awesome! It looks amazing so far! Dynamic snow and improved 3p camera made me jizz.
“Improved” third-person view? I hope that means PLAYABLE third-person view, because the way the warriors of Oblivion ran… kinda made it impossible to take the game seriously while using the third-person perspective. nice to hear it’s in a new engine, Oblivion looked great back in 2006, but that’s four years ago. Time to up the ante!
