Do weapons break or does your character just up and decide not to use them?

I've only taken work off to play two games, Oblivion and GTAIV.  With Oblivion, my buddy and I hermited out over 4 days at his place, eating Reser's burritos and drinking beer and Gatorade.  I felt like a crappy human being after that but holy lord it was fun.

I'm thinking I might just have to have a mini vacation for this one as well.  Super pumped... but I'm always super pumped when there's a lot of hype around a game.

Can't wait to see peoples reactions in this thread after its released!

I'm wondering. Since your main companion will be a blade, will you be able to use... him? it? in combat? I mean, he's most likely the best sword in the game, being enchanted and having a soul inside it or something.

The only thing that happened in general was the death of 71% of the fort, and that wasn't really worth mentioning.

Er... pretty sure he's one of the Emperor's Blades, which is an awesome title but doesn't transform him into a weapon. (Luckily.)

Yeah, it's not like DF where you could (dual)wield him. And if you could, it probably would be a blunt weapon, despite his title.

Flailing people to death with empty socks, though, that takes a lot of effort. Less so if the sock's made out of something interesting, but generally quite difficult.

Actually... He will literally be a sword, not a blade as in the Emperor's guards.

Why do you think he would be sword? All I heard was blade and thought that he's part of the organisation "blades".

According to the info I've read, your 'Mentor' in the game will be a Blade, one of the last in the organization that survived the death of his fellows.

Not being a big TES lore knower, what do you mean by that?

Everyone was once Et'ada that reproduced too much and got weak.  Altmer think that by destroying the world they'll be able to return to their old forms.  Men disagree and think they'll surpass their old forms through the walking ways.(The endeavor, EG. CHIM, Apotheosis, The Scarab that Transforms into the New Man)  Hence why Auri-el/Alduin is a savior to the Altmer of Summerset, and the bringer of the apocalypse to the nords, while Lorkhan/Shor is a vile trickster to the Altmer, and the savior of the Nords.

TES mythology is some pretty crazy stuff.

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.

It could be both: A talking sword, like Warmonger from the Summoning, except that was evil and bloodthirsty. For some reason Warmonger hasn't been mentioned on either the tvtropes "The Sword That Speaks" page, nor on the "Evil Weapon" page. Odd. I don't see a button to register for a new account (just one to log in), or I'd add it.

Basically what Cecilff said. Every object and being (people, animals, trees, stones, grass - even the laws of nature are made up of them) in the world descends/is reincarnated from the Aedra. Not just the Nine Divines, mind you, at the time of the world's creation there were countless amounts of them. When Lorkhan "tricked" them into creating the world the vast majority of the Aedra were forced to "die" and give their whole beings to the world, and became part of it. Those who became people/living stuff is described in lore as having been "forced to marry and make children to last".

And how does this make everybody technically have the soul of a dragon, you ask? Well, lore-wise, and metaphysically-wise, dragons pretty much == gods/Aedra (so does giants, by the way, but that is a whole different story). And
Spoiler: I'm going to spoiler this, since it might very well be a major plot twist in Skyrim - I'm going to be pretty fucking pissed off if it isn't, anyway ;) (click to show/hide)

Though I doubt Beth cared about that.

That, and even if he didn't, it's still like 400 years later or something.
