Very evil-heavy, but at least we now know that the Volkihar aren't actually worshipping a specific Daedra.

And here I was hoping for Coldharbour... :wacko:

I'm such a movie geek I was hoping they'd get Sean Connery to be a dragon in the game. If that was possible I'd have given him Paarthurnax.

Yes there are some new armors.You can actually see two of them in the trailer.One heavy and a leather type armor.Watch the trailer again and you'll see them.
