1.yes from what i hear you will be able to build your own house.
2. im not sure about pets but there isa good chance here will be since most rpgs have this feature
3. oh you can marry in the game. you can also do gay marriages lol!!
4. yea i saw that u can smith ur own weapons at the quakecon presentation. i was there when todd howard, the games's director, even showed a blacksmith there and a place where u can smelt things.
here is the link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ3wZbpCmfw it is like 40 mins of skyrim, and i was there!
5. by people if u mean npcs than of course u can. if a game does not have that, the game cannot be a rpg, it is a general rule.
6. well now you dont have to choose a class in the beginning. u can make ur character and progress in the areas u think are best for ur character. u can ride horses and maybe dragons, u can dual wield things like shields, swords, and magics.there are also some magics that do special effects on enemies and help you in certain ways like one guides you to ur destination, one u can spot enemies and control them to kill other enemies, one i think forms a circle around the place where u activated the spell and enemies around the circle get scared and run away, one trap spell forms a small circle wherever u cast it and it explodes on enemy touch. i think u can also teleport to destinations that you have already visited, because it was on oblivion so it may also be on skyrim, they also have shouts which are high level magical attacks. in the end of the utube link i guess, todd does something called storm call which makes the whole area start to rain and then lightning starts to hit all enemies nearby to ur location. and u know like some games like uncharted have epic backgrounds like high level mountains, in skyrim, those backgrounds are actually explorable.
u can also make a more powerful version of a spell if u have the same spell on each hand selected and you can press the left hand and right hand button( one controls left hand, one controls right :p) at the same time to make a even more powerful version of a spell. here are other shouts i know of:
- u can slow down time
-u can travel a certain amount of distance at the speed of sound
- u can breath fire which sometimes attract dragons to attack and murder the guy u killed
- u can do like a force push to push crowds of enemies away from you
oh yea did i mention u can catch animals or grow food and then cook them. basically u can cook.
all coming from the quakecon presentation link i gave u and some websites. yea just watch the vid its mind-blowing
hope i helped! the link i gave u will give u all the latest info that u can use for skyrim. happy killing!:)
