I think they like to hype the main theme of Oblivion/Skyrim so much because it's the only one anyone can remember whereas I can remember the shop theme for Daggerfall despite barely playing the game.

Huh? You can rent a set without too much problems. Even if you want a sort of custom set, a lot of movie sets aren't that expensive to build.
well it depends what you want to do. X-plosions are expensive usually. Not to mention CGI was at least for some time the newest shit around. But yes. thankfully the industry is going back to using a bit more "real life" objects in combination with CGI. Works much better in the end instead of making everything CGI (or something similar). I mean as awesome as matrix was ... it starts to age (not so much the first movie though). On skyrim. Well I still think it contains quite much CGI.
Though its all marketing anyway. Regardless how good or bad those trailers are. I am pretty sure the game for it self will be boring as fuck.

The Matrix movies were crap bac there, they are worse now.

Better be quick, Zenimax keeps cracking down on them no matter what name they call the videos. 
Worst part of the leaked stuff is that you can hear they used the same kid voice actor as the one in Fallout 3. All kids must die now.

Love how bad the animations and textures are. "Guys, it's totally a new engine. See the shadows? So fucking new man. Not at all Gamebryo." Also, no one staggers in combat, even when hit by a fucking axe. Only nice things I can say are that the art style looks good and that there might be some RPG choices, judging from the choice to either follow the Rebel leader or the Imperial Guardsman.

Good grief, I just downloaded the Skyrim Quakecon footage by torrent. I finally get what audience they were going for with the incessant dumbing down in every new incarnation of the Elder Scrolls. It's not much different from watching onlookers of a drunken bar scuffle, a bunch of hooligans going at it after a football game (or during, for that matter). Trying to sell anything containing text, depth or complexity to an audience like that is like trying to peddle encyclopedias to drug gangs.
They cheer and yell at absolutely anything, regardless of whether there is something impressive about it or not. You can cast spells with your left hand *YEAAH!*, also with your right hand *WOOO!*, and you can combine both hands for a bigger spell - the reaction to which I can't adequately contain with one word and is best covered by analogy, reminding me of the average pro football leagues goal cheering. The mere existence of water issues exuberant and repeated calls in chorus to jump into it, reminiscent of a Jerry Springer show. This easily impressed tribe of primitives seems to regard the killing of a wolf by roughly swinging a sword in its general direction as the absolute epitome of gaming excellence. Another revolutionary gaming development seems to be being able to zoom in on inventory items, at the very least revolutionary enough to be met by applause and cheering more appropriate to above average musical performances.
I just don't get it. Either the entire room is filled with dim-witted idiots, they are all drunk, high, delirious, or any combination of the above, or there really is such a low common denominator out there that marketing a game in this way can be considered brutally effective rather than counter-productive.
Animations still look stunted as if everyone is suffering from some movement impairment. Horses are still glorified donkeys and any kind of mounted combat, a feature so wonderfully pulled off in Mount and Blade, a game that had virtually no budget, seems to have yet again been too high a barrier to jump for Bethesda. Also the horse looks fat.
And the menus are horrible. I didn't think that part could be even worse than it was in Oblivion, but it is.

Footage from another lowest common denominator "rpg" combined with a retarded crowd and Todd's whiny voice made watching this almost unbearable.

Well as said many times by others but it really fits.Edmond Dantès said:
Todd howard (or Bethesda if you want) makes RPGs for people which actually ddon't likeRPGs.
And I think that actually is a pretty good describtion particularly when I remember what he explained once about Fallout and what he "didn't liked". It was the part where the player could do something and block him self out from quests. Like yeah ... I know that sounds like role playing I mean imagine you play a "bad person" and "good people" don't give you quests anymore!
So no surprise that Oblivion and Fallout 3 are only "light" RPGs.

Ugh, that QuakeCon presentation was pretty painful to watch. I am OK with cheering at Todd or the game logo because, hey, fans will be fans, but every 30 damn seconds? Calm the hell down guys, it's just a demo of a game.
About the leaked footage, I find it actually looks decent enough, the animations were certainly more refined than in Oblivion (the execution was pretty well made imo) and the intro is far better too. Character creation seems pretty good, faces look a lot less like ass (and on Xbox even, which is claimed to be the equivalent of Low settings on PC), and I believe that scene alone had more voice actors than the entirety of the Imperial City in Oblivion. Of course, we didn't see any actual gameplay.
Also, action-adventure is a bit too harsh imo. The game still has skills and stats (but no attributes) being an integral part of character developpement. It's more like a light RPG with free-roaming to me. and it certainly seems to work out just fine for Beth, Skyrim sells more than Modern Warfare 3 on Steam.

Some half decent voice acting as well, well the Nord bloke who spoke with a Scandinavian accentish and whoever was doing the Imperial grunts with the English accents.
Shame everyone else spoke American.
While the animations are still stiff I can't help but think we're being over critical with them, at least compared to other games, in part due to how bad the previous games were rather than letting the game stand on it's own merits in a slightly wonky way.
Except the broom sweeping one, that looks just as bad as it did in Fallout 3 and should die in a fire.
