It’s no secret that my personal most anticipated upcoming game is the Bethesda Softworks juggernaut sequel, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. We’ve seen the first trailer, and we’ve seen a peek at the gameplay, but at E3 this year it’s all about answering questions and showing off the game to the masses.

The first new thing from this title to come out of the convention is a brand new gameplay demo with Bethesda head Todd Howard. The demo gives us a much better look at the gameplay of Skyrim, as well as a peek at some things that gamers have been very curious about, such as mixing and matching weapons and spells in both hands, and of course, fighting freakin’ DRAGONS!

Check out the new gameplay demo for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim but clicking on over to the other side now!

Everything looks amazing””as we all expected””but it’s the dragon battles that stand out to me. As Mr. Howard says, these are boss fights, but we don’t have to wait until the end of the game to fight them. The dragons are living, breathing creatures just like any other animal. Sometimes they show up, sometimes they don’t…and sometimes more than one will make an appearance.

UPDATE: It’s been a long ass time and the video originally embedded on here didn’t work anymore, so it’s been updated with the three gameplay demos released for Skyrim. Now…we continue the long wait to The Elder Scrolls VI! Re-watching these Skyrim videos is getting me way too hyped up for a game we know nothing about way before it gets released, though. May need to jump back into this one soon to help pass the time.
