Check out the first gameplay trailer for Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I’m really looking forward to playing this game as I am a huge fan of the Fallout franchise who’s gameplay mechanics were taken from The Elder Scrolls series. I played some of the the 4th Elder Scrolls game Oblivion and liked it but never finished it though. Unfortunately I played it after Fallout 3 and the interface and graphics weren’t as streamlined as they were in Fallout 3 so it was hard for me to go backwards. However with Skyrim, I shouldn’t have that problem because they have updated the graphics engine which such be improved over the Fallout 3 engine and the controls/interface such be enhanced as well.
Are you looking forward to this game?

This is the game I am looking the most forward to this year. Oblivion was so large, and carried a wonderful storyline. Now, Skyrim appears to at least have the same depth. Assuming the story holds up; it will most likely take RPG of the year.
Either this game or Mass Effect 3 will be RPG of the year for me.

dude that might be a tie
The game looks out of control, definitely can't wait to check it out.
I am happy they updated the engine. New Vegas was really starting to show off it's age.
I hope this one isn't as buggy as the others also.
It shouldn't be, it's Bethesda doing it this time instead of Obsidian who did New Vegas. I do expect some bugs though but nowhere near the level of New Vegas.

If there's one drawback with Bethesda Games is that they will always come out with some bugs to the gameplay. It's just the nature of the game being so huge that they could never find all the glitches. I expect the same with Skyrim, but that won't stop be from preordering whatever super-limited-ultra edition Bethesda decides to sell.
I still think ME3 will get RPG of the Year, if not Game of the Year from most groups.
I'm actually worried about ME3 just soley on the fact that it hasn't been that long since ME2. Between ME1 and ME2 I think it was over 2 years and by the time ME3 comes out it will only be under 2 years.
I hope I'm wrong though.

Fallout 3 and Oblivion had a grip of bugs at launch – both were done by Bethesda. I just hope this engine is better for these games at launch.
Fallout 3 was only a little buggy for me and most graphical drawing errors. Red Dead Redemption was really buggy and then New Vegas was super buggy.
