the last game I played because of its music was Chrono Trigger, and that was a spot-on good decision, so I'm thinking of picking it up, but I neither have a PS3 nor a PC that's powerful enough...

wasnt a fan of the other TES games, although i hardly played any Oblivion. One of my friends has it though, so i can get a review later on.

I had thought about getting the game but I'm not sure about it's basically same game as Oblivion except different story plot, better graphics, and bunch of new stuff.

Let me know if it's remotely better than Oblivion. I'm rather like use hotkey buttons on magic spells to make gameplay much easier.

Way better then oblvion.

Playing through as a mage, love the combat system for it. You can put a spell in either hand, casted with the mouse buttons. By pressing Q you can quickly change what spells you have equipped (only your favorite spells will pop up). Literally takes 1 seconds for a spell swap via a menu, im impressed with it.

Does the game has categories so I can sort out the magic spells or armory in strength or level? Will I able to delete a magic spell that I have no longer need? And will I able to make my own magic spells just like Alter of Spellmaking in Oblivion?

Cant answer the armor question, havent used any. Mage in Robes for the win! I dont bother picking any up as weapons sell for more.

As for the magic questions, you cant delete spells you no longer need and their is no custom magic. I honestly thought the Alter of Spell making was to complicated even for an elder scrolls game. I much prefre the way magic works in Skyrim.

Being able to cast two spells at once makes things very interesting. If I want to go on the offensive I can double up the same spell making a bigger and more powerful version of it (eg- cast 2 fireballs at the same time results in one massive fire ball). Or I can be defensive using only one attack spell and having a ward spell up keeping me immune from incoming damage.

I "finished" skyrim now. really awesome game, I hope they take it one step further and implement a super-deep morrowind-like story in their gameplay for ES6

and I hope they get rid of the crafting! I'm running around in selfmade dragonarmor with selfmade daedric weapons, and they're 108234 times better than all daedric artifacts. that sucks somehow.

anybody has an idea what I can do now? finished the main quest, imperial legion and the companions (? werewolf guys). I'm lvl 57 and invincible.
