A lot of the textures look like garbage and I wish we'd seen an actual dragon fight, not a scripted animated cinematic thing, but the music and sound effects seemed great. Let's hope this game isn't a flash in the pan like Oblivion. All swords, no substance.
Ah....sorry dude, but did you play Oblivion on Xbox or something?? Many of us are still playing it to this day on PC with mods and anhancements. And it still competes with many newer games on many levels.
I just think that "a flash in the pan" is an extremely poor description of any of Bethesda's games.

Oblivion was, in almost every way, a worse game than Morrowind. Graphics and combat were the only real improvements in Oblivion. AI was almost improved, but it more broke the game than helped it. The unoriginal dungeons, the horrible story, the graphics that have aged very poorly... one needs mods to simply enjoy Oblivion.
So needless to say, I'm skeptical of Skyrim until I actually play it.

Meh, I dunno, man. I enjoyed Morrowind, to be sure, but I've put far more time into Oblivion.
And, mods are kind of an essential part to any good PC game really.....IMO anyway. The game itself is kind of a massive sandbox....you can mod it to your taste, and create a game that really fits what you want to play. As the game ages, you simply apply graphics mods to modernize the game. There's really no end to the potential.
maybe I'm just spoiled by my 40gig Oblivion monstrosity

I'm just not judging Oblivion by its mods. I'm sure mods will be around to fix up Skyrim (not nearly fast enough) but vanilla Oblivion.. I honestly couldn't play it today if I tried. Oblivion is better for roaming around and hunting stuff I suppose but ugh, the quest compass, the linear quests, the lack of factions or interweaving quest lines, the poor main quest, I just thought it was all a step back from Morrowind. I still played it mind you, but I found it lacking.
