There is a multipage Skyrim article in the September 2011 PSM3 magazine (if you want to buy this issue, you can purchase a digital copy directly
HERE)
Here is the info I learned from reading this article, which is mostly old news, with a couple of new screens, including one I really like (described below).
1. The Radiant Story feature activates some behind the scenes game mechanic when the PC enters each new area.Todd Howard: "A good example is when you walk into a town, we can have it [the game] look for someone with a child. We can have that child kidnapped and put in a dungeon nearby, one that you missed for some reason." In other words, when the cell for the town loads, the child is removed from the town at that exact moment.
2. There is an opening sequence in a closed area."Once you've finished the opening sequence (an escape from your own execution...) you're free to explore the world as you wish." The converse of that indicates you are not free to explore the world until you have finished the opening sequence, which is logical.
3. Dragons can choose to fly far off into the sky so you completely lose track of their location when you are fighting, making them more challenging to defeat.Todd Howard: In a lot of games, including ours, you're used to, 'here comes the person at you' and you're in a hallway or an open area. But this thing is a beast that can fly off quickly, go around a castle and come back around. Often you can lose them and spin around looking at the sky because you don't know where they're going to go. They have a lot of cool behaviors that make fighting each one interesting.
4. There are some badass helmets in this game.One screen shows the PC (wearing a cloak hooded robe with a pouch) fighting a draugr wearing a wicked looking helmet with two humongous horns on the top, completely bathed in flames (perhaps from the PC's spell). This exact screen was previously in the July 2011 Playstation magazine, but the version I saw was poor quality and I didn't notice the helmet
5. Light magic (from staves at least) can stick to walls."Dovahkiin fires a globe of light from his staff, which sticks to a wall..."
6. Only possible to have relationships with certain NPCs - and "in some cases" marriage. "...you'll be able to start relationships with certain NPCs. Howard confirms you'll be able to make friends, recruit companions and - in some cases - actually marry the game's buxom wenches. Bigamy? It'd be rude not to."
This suggests fewer NPCs available for marriage). Also there is the suggestion of a possibility to have more than one spouse.
7. DLC infoTodd Howard: I don't know what we're going to do yet, but we want to do something that costs a bit more but is going to be more of a complete package....we're thinking bigger than with Fallout 3.
