Story

Spoiler!

From UESP Wiki
The High King of Skyrim has been murdered, triggering a civil war among the province's people, the Nords. Many Nords wish to secede from the empire, which has been declining in power since the fall of the Septim Dynasty 200 years earlier, while others believe the empire is still worth preserving. A prophecy foretold by the Elder Scrolls is fully realized by this last event; dragons have returned to the land, and the Nordic god Alduin rises to consume the world. The player character is the last of the "Dovahkiin" (or "dragonborn"), mortals who are born with the soul of a dragon and can speak their language. Esbern serves as advisor, himself one of the last of the Blades, who swore to preserve the Empire. This prophecy is also spelled out on Alduin's Wall, a stone wall at Sky Haven Temple, the secret hidden refuge of the last of the Blades.

Pretty much sums up how I feel about Skyrim: YouTube - ‪Skyrim‬‏

Can't wait, everything looks amazing.
Especially the music - they really went all out on the soundtrack this time.

Day one purchase... period.

[MisterMaster]

It was going to be a day one purchase for me, but then I read that it'll just be a console port. I especially liked how they said that the ported version won't be ''too bad''.

[Storm]

I'm assuming you don't have a gaming PC then?

Anyway, Skyrim will be amazing. I have little doubt of that. I'm more worried about a delay currently.

[Slaphappy1996]

Its about time a thread was made about this. Skyrim is going to be an awesome game. Picking it up first day for the PS3.

I do have a gaming PC. They just put me off when they said that the PC version won't be too bad. Seriously, who the hell advertises their game by saying that it won't be too bad.

It looks as another crippled game through console limitations. I guess another free game for me

That's weird, because the PC version looks significantly better. That + Mods = Me getting the game on PC.

You have a link for that?
