Just putting this out there: No spoilers please! I'm looking forward to playing Dragonborn myself when I have enough spare time.
All the trailers lied. It's actually a dragon maternal ward simulator.

Damn you all. I thought I was done with skyrim, but here I am again. 300+ hours logged on this game and I am still finding and doing new stuff.

Elder Scrolls are an exception, being 20 each.
Stones of Barenziah?
Mods fix both of those.

I have the stones sitting on my shelf at home for when I get the full set. They make good decoration items.

My girlfriend found a 7lb. item called "Radvir's Drum" in a non-quest dungeon she explored. It's undroppable because it's a quest item, but she doesn't know what it's for.

I can only imagine the plight of some unlucky soul who accidentally collects that drum and all the stones before knowing what to do with them.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

Well, the stones give you a misc marker pointing at the thieves guild city I forgot what it's called.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

The drums sounds like a quest of the Bards School. It's been a long time since I did them, but I'm pretty sure it's that.

I'unno. I'd rather have that than find out a quest I just picked up requires the Swift Ham of Justice, only to find out that I left it in the inventory of a now dead companion.

Or sold it to a merchant who's inventory has since refreshed.

Yeah, and if your character ends up not being a thief for RP reasons (in an RPG? blasphemy!), you're still quite out of luck.  Thankfully, there are mods for that, too.

In the limited time I have played this game (friends house on the xbox) I found it's quite easy to exploit.
Not in the usual, "Steal everything LOL" way (I was trying to play a semiserious nord hero guy), but at level four I managed to kill 2 giants.
By hiding in a rock crevasse and shooting them with arrows and lighting for about half an hour.
Then I went and smacked a couple vampires to death.

Because I'm the dragonborn.

When a bunch of people tried to kill me (something about Stealing Everything pissed them off  :P) I just jumped up a small natural step near a boulder, cauing them to pathfind all the way around this boulder. Step down and they have to pathfind right around again. Rinse and repeat and I just chipped their health away with a bow and very little skill.

That's it, the big feature that everyone will get hyped for in the next game is Bethesda finally cracking vertical pathfinding. NPC's will use the acrobatics skill and there will be bosmer ninjas.

Will that mean that walled cities will be in the open world?
And no longer limited to their own cells?
