Right now, I'm not that interested in it. I've played Fallout 3 and maybe an hour of Oblivion. So far, its ok... probably need to play more to see if I like it or if it will end up and horrible as Dragon Age was.

I don't know. To me, Oblivion felt very much like it was meant to end the series so I didn't expect any games to come after it. So the fact that they're making another one is like a "WTF?" to me. Then again, I feel the same way about Diablo III.
I'm very interested but my RPG plate is pretty full with Vegas & ME2 coming out for PS3.
Once I've had my fill of those I've promised myself I'd check out Dead Rising & possibly GT5 for a change of pace. It should be quite a while before I'm ready to check out Skyrim, and if ME3 comes out first that day will probably never come without seriously good reviews & word-of-mouth.

I am hoping to love skyrim, but I really need it to up its gameplay factor for me to want to buy it. The combat needs to be fixed so it feels like a fps, since I play it that way not in third person. It never felt right when I was swinging swords in oblivion, I think it was because the RPG and combat were at odds with one another. You really felt like you could see the hit points come off and it wasn't a fluid combat. I would think if melee was as visceral as say condemned 2, you might get the feeling you cleaved an orc in the face rather than, whittling down hit points until he falls into a limp ragdoll.
My level of excitement for Skyrim is currently hovering between "OMG OMG OMG WHY IS IT NOT NOVEMBER YET" and "I cannot speak because my head has just exploded from excitement and therefore I am dead".
The best thing so far: the dual-wielding system. I can't explain how much it pleases me that I'll FINALLY be able to make my character left-handed... that's a small but important detail (to me, at least) that virtually every RPG I've ever played has missed.

I still dunno if I'm gonna get it, I never really wanted to get Oblivion, but I ended up getting it a a good 3 for 2 deal thing... I might pick this up eventually when it gets nice and cheap.
However, this guy has the same idea as me regarding the engine (Which looks very nice judging by the screenshots)

I know that the devs are different but what I was trying to say is that Bethesda were the publishers and share the responsibility both of the engine used in New Vegas as well as letting the title go gold before making it playable.Serris said:
Trust me, I'm just as wary (if not more) of anything that will come out by Obsidian either. If Bethesda was completely innocent in the New Vegas travesty, then I wouldn't be routed to their site when I was trying to file complaints.
Besides, I don't know if you remember, but the last game Bethesda developed didn't exactly run like clockwork either. Unless the clock was made by, stray cats.
Being a fan of TES since Arena, I'm really looking forward to buying it. And one of the few times I won't be waiting until the price drops.
I have it on pre-order, and have done since the very moment it was announced and appeared on Amazon. Hopefully that answers the question.
