With Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, I waited for patched GOTY Editions to be released before buying them. It was my intention to do the same with Skyrim. After reading this article, and seeing the rest of the stuff that has been released to date, I don't know if I can wait now.

I agree with Destri about concerns over Radiant Story. It does sound like a CTD waiting to happen, and sort of pushes me back to waiting for a patched GOTY.

From a lore standpoint, it is going to interesting to see what the explanation is for a Dragonborn to suddenly appear in prison 200 years after the Septim line is dead and gone. Immaculate conception?

As far as Dragons being like Cliff Racers, I get the impression that the Dragons are going to be more like NPCs since you need to kill and soul trap specific Dragons to get specific Shouts. There may well be dragon-spawn type monsters (less powerful, smaller dragons) that are similar to Cliff Racers. That would be cool!

Are shields going to become a thing of the past with two handed battle? It seems like you lose that bit of defense, unless you can cast spells with your equipped shield arm.

ENCHANTMENT! I echo Destri's words about no longer needing to be a mage and having to enchant at an altar.
