More populated areas sounds good. Nord clothing has the torso and legs overlap significantly so making them one piece helps counter fugliness. Plus we get more armor to choose from and more people can be rendered. Did I mention more densely populated areas? (Yes, I like it that much)
Elder Scrolls V: Oblivion Part 2?

I highly doubt it allows for more than one or two extra guys to be allowed on screen, previous TES games get choppy pretty damn quickly with just a couple of dozen or so guys on screen.
Yeah, I know, I was just blowing it out of proportion.
This sentence sums up the internet pretty well

And could a mod please change the title to Skyrim?

This is the first time ever I'm actually considering getting a collector's edition...

For $149? I think not. Its way too overpriced.

Tuturuu!
To be fair, ME3's collector's edition doesn't have a statue.
Although you could buy a model Normandy for $35, and still have the entire package be quite a bit cheaper.

You'd pay that much for a statue, probably made in a Chinese sweat shop for a few pennies?
Mongoloid Cow
Great Khan
$50 more in Australia even though the AUD is worth quite a bit more than the USD? Talk about a bloody ripoff.

EDIT: Video removed 
Hopefully this link will last a while before getting taken down like the others. 40 minutes of Skyrim from Quake Con, although the audience is very annoying.
I can already see that I'm going to look for an interface mod once again just to make better use of the space, although its really cool how you can view items in the new inventory menu and zoom in and rotate them. Same with the books when you read them
There's lots of new detail in the world like fish jumping in the waterfall (that you can fish!) and the combat looks a lot better than in Oblivion (not that that's hard to do).
The Dark Brotherhood is back, awesome.
You can favourite spells that you like the most, I guess this makes them easier to access.
The skill tree, as you've seen before, is kind of looking up to the heavens and rotates aronud pretty fast (my concern was it would be slow, like every other side scrolling console menu I've seen, but I am also sure a mod can improve if not replace it all together), the constellation symbol for each skill is the perk tree for that skill that you zoom into. It looks really cool but isn't easy to quick reference.
The map is a gorgeous 3D rendering of the world and looks pretty awesome
Dialogue menu is similar to the inventory and magic menus, will probably need a mod fix.
The people of the world do a lot more things now, the game has caught up to the Gothic games in that regard. You can do those jobs for money too.
Horses are back the same as in Oblivion.
Snow is dynamic and placed by the game, not the developers.
Sneak attacks look the same as oblivion.
Duel wielding with magic is cool though I am not a fan of duel wielding weapons because its silly and impractical but whatever. Finishing moves are cool, and the magic effects look better than in oblivion (again that isn't difficult).
Sprinting has replaced running.
You can learn spells from tomes.
Video messes up at about 27 minutes and the audio is off, going faster than the footage.
A dragon picks up and flings a giant the player is fighting through the air.

Wow, that crowd is a little overexcited at things that we've already seen, and things that aren't even very different from Oblivion, then they don't care about dynamic snow, which is the kind of stuff *I* get worked up about . So yeah, the were annoying, didn't think of Elder Scrolls fans as hooligans "KILL IT, JUMP DOWN, TEABAG HIM". Well, I guess you had to be there.
Anyway, good find. At least they went further into that dungeon they keep showing. Also, as you say, the UI seems to move fast enough. Still not a fan of lists of words but we'll see. The strange physics of Bethesda ragdolls still seems to be there a little bit.
EDIT: Seems to have been taken down minutes after I watched it :-/ I'm sure someone else will post it. It was called "Tes V footage, Quakecon, leaked " I like that game companies don't like free ads.

Good thing I downloaded the video this morning...
I'm always interested in bonus material, real maps and other paraphernalia, but I'm sure as Oblivion itself not coughing up over £120 for a statue I'm not interested in. If that's their latest strategy to make money, I'll wait for the non-collectors' edition.

You still get the cloth map in pre-orders anyway.
