Ooh, anyone notice that in that video around 1:10-1:20 if you watch the monitor to the right, you can see the much improved falling/landing animation?

In one of the videos in the skills category under destruction it says, "The School of Destruction involves the harnessing the energies of fire, frost and shock/ This skill makes it easier to cast spells like Fireball, Ice Spike, and Lightning Bolt." Ignoring the incorrect grammar, what does it mean by, "Easier to cast"? Does this mean we are going back to a chance based spell system like in morrowind, or that it will cost less the higher in level you go?

Perhaps even more than improving the way the terrain looks, I would like to see a greater degree of tree variety... Trees that don't simply grow in straight vertical lines on the side of the mountain. Most games look like the trees are embedded into the landscape rather than actually growing, it would be neat to see roots and such overgrowing little used trails and such.

I just hope they do the mountains well. Coming from a mountainous region, I felt that Oblivion's mountains were terrible. From the looks of it Skyrim is vastly improved in this area, if not a bit unrealistic.
