I have been patiently waiting for this. Consider me now impatiently waiting for this game.

Ditto that sentiment. If it wern't for this game, I'd be tearing out my hair by now, the MMO market is so DRY right now. No "big name" games being released any time soon. GW2 is too far out on the horizon. I've already played my fill of the mmos that came out early this year (Rift) and the classic mmo's don't offer enough for me to want to return (eq2, Wow, FFXI) . The only new ones that keep getting churned out like crappy prizes in a 25cent machine, are the Asian mmo titles. No thanks. I don't need crappy anime clones.
Its time to switch gears and go back to a good old fashioned RPG adventure with real effort and soul in it. This is going to be like taking a long drink after being in the desert.

These are the first images that make me want to get the game despite not liking anything about the previous games in the series at all.

And my decision to pay for the $150 collector's edition has been vindicated.

Looks good, just hope it will be more like Morrowind than Oblivion.

This music makes me think of just stepping out into the world, KNOWING that it's YOURS to do whatever you wish. This game will be magnificent. Not long now, guys.

@freejack yes, that's Jeremy Soule's music from the game. Glad you like the video

i can hear that the music sound's like it's coming from the same orchestra. so i think that this could be in the game.

That meat looks quite good. Can't wait to grill those ribs out on my virtual grill out back.

That was just epic! I know I'd probably just stand around, looking at the gorgeous environment all the time, if it wasn't for those pesky enemies that want to poke my brain with a stick.

yup ,that's Jeremy's Soule's music from the game

If that is the caliber of music in this game and if the actual gameplay is as good as they show... definitely GOTY hands down! And I have all winter to explore Skyrim!

It was a beautiful trailer I just kinda wish they would've tried to match the in-game scene angles to those in the concept art, I realize it's not always possible but when it works I think it just makes it look ten times better.

I so hope this is more Morrowind-ish and less Oblivion-like. :P

that was so amazing i had to watch it twice.
and now it's making me think about the 12 more days until it comes out.
why cant decomposition move faster :(
(decomposition meaning time because the concept of time is irrelevant but the concept of the universe decomposing isn't)
