Trailers only make me more (or less) excited about said game. When it does come out, I'll check it out.

Yes.

And yes. But I live in Detroit which it's like a 3rd world nation so I'm justified

I will probably wait for reviews to roll in and the general feedback from users/friends. Practically everyone loved Oblivion but I just couldn't get into it, if it's pretty much Oblivion then I'll probably pass if not then I'll get it at mid price point of about £20($30-40)

I'll be getting it for 360. My PC is nowhere strong enough and I'll have a bigass backlog for PS3 when I do eventually get it.

i know a story in an rpg is very important. but an amazing world is as good. you should really consider it. it wont have the me like story but youl feel something diffrent.

Well I was gonna say u live in South America and it would be justified for that reason but I mixed you up with Ethomax.

yes even if it's completely riddled with bugs

Abso-freaking-lutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On PS3.

Later on (if/when I improve my PC), I iwll get it on PC for mods.

the outcome is doubtful.

These games are so big that i get lost and never end up completing them. I am 4 hours into Oblivion and than started wandering around leading to nowhere. But that is me in open world games. Assassin's Creed i think does it well. One can explore a lot but also chose to focus on main missions quite easily. 

Oh yes if i pick it up i will pick it for PS3. My PC won't be able to handle it. 

I'm cautious about Bethesda games now.

Oblivion looked beautiful and it was decently fun...for a while.  It gave you too much freedom and I eventually got so powerful that the game was a joke.  When I decided I should do the story, I didn't even remember what it was since the only story mission I had done was escape the prison.  At that point, I just didn't care and have any motivation so I stopped.  I tried it a few more times but it was always pretty much a variation of that story.

With Fallout 3, it was largely the same but I mainly did the main story and eventually got bored of the game.  I got so powerful enemies were largely a joke and the story eventually got to a point where it really died down and let me do my own thing for a while and I just lost interest.

See, the problem with 20 plus hour epic games is you have to have the gameplay to support a game that long and a story I care about to keep me going.  Bethesda games this gen at least mechanics are pretty muh sub-par so it's hard to keep those interesting.  They're easy to break and even when you don't game the game, they're still hard to stay interesting to me.  That's why most single player shooters aren't longer than 10 hours.

And then there's the story.  I'm sure Oblivion had an interesting story and Fallout 3 was interesting, it's just they give you too much freedom and you eventually forget about the story and stop caring.  At that point, there's really no reason to keep playing the game.

I'll keep an eye on Skyrim, but it's not a definite buy at all for me yet.
