No Birth Signs

Now this actually disappointed quite a lot. While creating a character on Oblivion, this was one of the key points in deciding what type of path your character will take. You could pick 'Mage' and take a more magicka based path, 'Shadow' for a stealth based path or 'Warrior' for a character that will be in a lot of strength based battles, but now what?

I'm guessing that the point of this is so you change the path your character will take at any point during the game i.e. your character wont have to stick to being a Mage if you start off in that direction. While this will save start and re-starting the game, this will definitely take something away from the character customization seen at the start of the game.

Farewell

Magika

I felt the magic was a little underwhelming on Oblivion as that ment sacrafising a good 'ol head chopping sword for a staff but with the dual-wielding option this is no longer a problem. Being albe to have a sword and a staff will give you the option of long range and close range attacks at the same time. This has got me wetter than an elf with a bow up its arse.

Farewell

Companions

I may have said before, but I really, really, really hope we can get companions in Skyrim, hopefully a mix of humans and the other races and animals, maybe a bear or wolf would be suitable.

Johnny, when I came home last night, you were drunk again, I really think it's time you cut down.

Taliagole.

Returns? Quest of the Day?

Thinking about starting a Quest of the Day series once Skyrim releases, varying in Quests of the main story, Guild assignments and general side quests.

And also we have been thinking about what we might see return from Oblivion into Skyrim, hopefully we see more guilds, or maybe even the formation and establishment of some as Skyrim is set before the events in Oblivion? A theory that leaves me salivating excessively. Maybe we will see the Blades return?Maybe we fight the Red Dawn once again? The possibilites are endless.

Stay tuned for more Skyrim posts and feel free to comment.

So Johnny, how do you feel about the new Ghost Recon being delayed until next year?
