Pete says "Regarding Alchemy, you'll find lots of ingredients in the world that you can use to create various potions. You'll have to discover what effects each ingredient has in order to combine them." Todd - "When you eat something you figure out its effect. You can combine things with shared effects and see what the various combination do."
@Matthew - "The size of the world is roughly the same, but in terms of scale, we've adjusted how things are located in proximity to one another. It's REALLY BIG."
@Max "The weather is dynamic in the game. We have systems for clouds and weather that will alter and impact the world to add visual flavor. If you're fighting a dragon at night in a snow storm, he'll be hard to see, which will be how the weather might impact gameplay."
@Nick - "Nope, you can't block while dual wielding."
Todd - "There is no fishing in the game, but there is Smithing, Alchemy and Enchanting. You can also chop wood, mine for ore, cook, tanning, smelting, etc."
@Keith - "You can find spells and you can buy them off of merchants as well. Perks allow you to cast higher level spells, but don't give you new spells all together."
@PeterJoseph - "There's a nice mix of new ones and returning ones with some being alternate takes on spells you might already know."
@Mysen - “Yes, the creation kit will be released so you'll be able to mod the PC version to your heart's content.”
