Shall we start the discussion?
I'm not going to do a full all encompassing Review of the game. It's huge, my time is limited and there are already many good reviews out there. So instead I'll just keep updating this thread with my observations and interesting experiences as I go along.
I've started my journey into Skyrim (360 version). Unfortunately I've only had a chance to play for about an hour which was enough time to make a character get out of the intro area and do a little exploring.
Comments so far:
Graphically it's a definite improvement from Oblivion. Everything has more detail to it. The level designs feel more organic in every way. Ruins are crumbling, bricks are missing, stuff is scattered around a tunnel will change dimensions as you walk through it. Oblivion did this pretty well, but Skyrim just does it much better.

Now here is the biggest change (at least in my opinion) 3rd person. The game is fully playable in 3rd person. So far I've flipped between 1st and 3rd and I actually find that not only is 3rd person playable I prefer it to 1st person. Running around in 3rd person shows off your character and his armour. Not to mention a better sense of your surroundings. Combat in 3rd person also is completely possible and fun as is general interaction in the world. So 3rd person fans rejoice. Skyrim will work well for you.
