Our Predictions for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

There has been quite a bit of news released on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim so far, clearly not enough for the fans, but it’s something to wet our appetites. There’s going to be a lot of changes in Skyrim with both the content of the game and the systems that run it. This is where we decided to do some predictions to see how close we get to the final product. Some of the things listed are partially announced items so it’s kind of cheating, but predictions none-the-less.

• Dungeons will feature more puzzles than before, sometimes unlocking hidden passages
• Protection spells will be more powerful to compensate mages for the lack of armor
• Armor and weapons will be customizable
