I'd rather have no children if I can't kill them
You know what Skyrim needs that's been missing in every Bethesda game I've played so far? A minimap. I hate having to check the map to see how close I am to my destination every ten seconds.

No, it doesn't. I like how there's barely a HUD. You have the marker on your compass bar so you know the direction, why do you need to know how long it's going to take to get there? Sometimes I'd like it to take a long time to get to places so I can explore new things on my way there.

This. I also used to (and still do on Fallout), go sideways to see how quickly the Compass Marker moved, if it moved slowly you knew you were far away, and if it moved quickly you knew you were close by. It's not hard.

That's a terrible idea. The compass and fast travel ruins the adventure already. In Oblivion, and hopefully it's removed in Skyrim, it tells you if you're near a location whether you've already discovered it or not.
And anyways, are you really that impatient? I never checked the map whenever I was going somewhere, I just kept going until I was eventually there.

Morrowind had a mini map, clearly seen here in the bottom right corner
They moved away from that to try for a more immersive experience.

So sneaking and pick pocketing are separate skills now. I wonder if you'll still get experience in pick pocketing if you're caught... On Oblivion I use to power train stealth my pick pocketing the thieves guild recruitment guy over and over again.
Also, Daggerfall turned 15 today. You can download it for free here. (Legally, of couse)
I hope they bring back levitation from Morrowind. and maybe the wall climbing mechanic from Daggerfall.

If you wanted the 1,000th post why didn't you wait until there were 999 post in this thread rather than 998?
Wouldn't pick-pocketing and sneak essentially be the same skill?
Well, that's good to hear. New magic skill sounds cool. Smithing sounds awesome. And I HOPE persuading isn't as boring and relatively pointless as it was in Oblivion.

I don't think they would be. Just because you can get around quietly doesn't mean you can stick your hand into somebodies pockets, steal coins/keys/etc without them knowing it. I'd rather them be the same skill though, honestly. I don't want to constantly walk around in crouch mode just to train the sneak skill.

I'd always just rubber-band in a corner behind an NPC for that.

I am just a poor Scottish student with barley enough money to buy 2 Xbox games at regular retail retail price. I also probably have uni books to buy although I'm going to try and avoid that. As long as I can get Skyrim on release I'll be quite happy. I don't even have it on pre-order yet D:
