Was that Falmer in the beginning?

It looked more like a draugr.
Actually, it's just a skeleton really.

I don't think so. It's possible but man those things look like ghouls to be honest plus I didn't see the "spider face" that the Falmer are suppose to have.

Not all of them have spider faces. Tom saw a screen on one when he got to play it and it was spider faceless.

I usually get collectors editions for all games...but come on...150$? Thats the normal price for three games, or even two collectors editions of games. Def not going to buy it in collectors edition

At what time did you see it? Besides scenery, a dragon, and a skeleton, I can't imagine what you're referring to.

Right after the skeleton. The creepy thing attacking the player.

AKB right after the skeleton a creature shoots a fireball at the player and some sort of ghoul looking thing next to it slashes at the player.

How did I miss that... Yeah, either a goblin or a Falmer I would guess.

I think it might be a witch heres a screen

Creepy!

Thief's bow and armor at 1:24 looks wicked ... looks like another cloak armor to

Well, this was an exciting video! Much like the concept art video it sheds some light on the development process, which is good to do in my opinion. About the video: did you see the magic effect when Todd says "the ultimate mage game"? That was big, I wonder if it was a really powerful spell by the player, an NPC or perhaps a creature. Or something else?

Damn, nice lunchroom Bethesda! Now I want a corned beef sandwich with fries!

Also, the decap at 1:27 looks sweet!

they mentioned its the largest game they've ever made pretty much in the video... my question for anyone who knows about the size of the modified xbox 360 disc size and how this stuff works... with all the hi-res textures, how do you think that they fit everything onto one disc?

I'm not sure what the situation is right now, but this effect was quite noticeable on the first generation of the mobile phone network;
When someone was talking on the other side you could hear them just fine. Any music that was playing in the background got horribly distorted however.
This is because a compression method was used that works really well on one particular type of sound (human voice).
I believe it was mentioned that in Oblivion it were the voices that took up most disc space. I guess in Skyrim they are using specific compression for voices (that evolved form the mobile network) and not a general one (like mp3).

Also there are many things that can be packed WAY tighter then is common now. The problem is that it would take your console also WAY more time to decompress it and you don't want that. Waiting half an hour for a level to load unacceptable.
However, as computers get faster and people think of better compression tricks you can cram more stuff in less space.
