Skyrim takes a lot of the most fun features from earlier titles as far as Daggerfall and jams them in one great package, though it does show its most direct inspirations from Oblivion - though the repetitve dungeons with a lack of anything other than generic loot directing you to them are gone. Though the lack of Spellmaking is sad, the new Enchanting and Smithing systems alongside the returning Alchemy makes crafting fun to mess around with in its place.
What can be said. It's BG2, probably the best in the already excelent Infinity Engine series
