Everyone's talking about whether having dual wielding weapons sucks or not, but the biggest question is:

Will dual wielding shields be implemented?

It's a shame you couldn't do what the mod Great House Dagoth allowed (and was awesome for): Sever the Tribunal from the heart whilst still using it to make yourself a god and then betray and murder Dagoth Ur by tricking him into wearing Moon-and-Star.

Seriously, how is that not the most badass ending ever? xD

I think it was confirmed that you could not do that. Behind tits this will be the first thing modded in.

You guys know there's pretty much no way we aren't going to have our PC become Emperor, right? I mean, it's fairly obvious from the fact he's the last dragonborn, he'd have to become a emperor just for literary purposes.

Besides, that could make a setup for the next game; you're a drunk who finds out that he's a prince and now you have to do something awesome to do something else and be a hero.

Will there be tameable animals? Can I go a ranger of the forest who is a friend of all the beasts?

Well if the last games are any indication, our PC will die of some horrible circumstance a few years after the events of the game, then Skyrim itself will have a meteorite dropped on it not long after that, so it won't really matter anyway.


Though I don't actually know how our Oblivion PC died. But given that Skyrim is set around 200 years after Oblivion, it's a pretty safe bet they'll go the route of killing them off, even if the elves can live that long.

Animal Allies was confirmed as a Wood Elf ability, not sure how permanent it is.

Considering that my Oblivion character was the vampire arch-mage of Cyrodiil, and was effectively unkillable due to his enchanted equipment and spells (effectively immune to magic, immune to paralysis due to being a vampire, ability to max out armor at will) at the time I got bored and stopped playing, dying of old age or being killed off by anything short of "Rocks fall! Everyone dies!" is a bit unlikely.

How about eating an insta-kill apple? I don't think you can resist those in any way.

Oh. Right. Then maybe biting someone poisoned? Or maybe being held down outside during the day? I dunno.

Either way, I doubt the Bethesda people care about how uber the character was at the end. They didn't care about what Cyrodill was supposed to look like. And that wasn't even something that varied between playthroughs.

Unfortunately no.  But nothing has been said yet about dual weilding torches(Which can also be used as weapons)

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

Isn't part of the fun of these games being killed by rats at level 1 and being able to one-hit the gods at level 100? :P

Being "Dragonborn" in the sense of what was required to light them fires was never really about the bloodline, is was more of a metaphysical thing. With the right circumstances, anyone could do it. In fact, Septim's lineage died out just a few Emperor's after himself (I can't remember the actual number), and "his" bloodline is actually descended from his brother or something like that.

Of course, Skyrim seem to use a whole new requirement for being "Dragonborn", what with being born with a soul of a dragon and all that. Though, as I've said before, everyone has the soul of a dragon. Technically. ;D
