Good riddance to the Gamebryo engine. Probably one of the worst I've ever played.

How will conversations be handled is my biggest question. It was acceptable when Oblvion and Fallout 3 came out, but New Vegas made my cry out for a better system.

Judging from that screenshot, it looks great. I'm so, so glad they finally got a "new" engine. Good riddance to Gamebryo! Now, where are the PC shots? I'm sure those are console version screens.

Aside from real time shadows, that screenshot on the first page of the thread looks EXACTLY like my modded oblivion, which scares me :p

Exactly the same here. Why the hell they are hyping their "new" engine? It looks like an upgraded oblivion. Garbage hyping is garbage.

I don't remember character models looking that good in vanilla Oblivion or modded. If there is, please show me! :)

remember how awful the self shadows were in oblivion? Hope they fixed that lol, seeing as they couldn't for Fallout, as they removed that option completely

Well, it looks like I'll enjoy this game's visuals a lot more than I did Oblivion, even though its doesn't look as good as the "OMG BEAUTIFUL" reactions had led me to suspect. The important part is that the graphics are good enough, if only because the faces don't induce hemorrhaging.

The character models look really good this time around. For once, humans don't look like orcs, and vice versa.

I've been totally oblivious to this! I heard someone mention it recently but I was just like, meh another FF game. What I saw in the sig and have just read sounds awesome!! :P Anyway back on topic, Skyrim from what I've seen looks really great. I'm sooooooo glad they have a new engine, I really could not stand the gamebryo. So stiff and awkward. Though it did create some beautiful landscapes.
