Skyrim - Skyrim Previews

And then, the moose. He bolted the second he caught wind of my approach, but I gave chase. Eventually, I cornered him – you know, with my back to the edge of a waterfall. Damn that moose; he was a tactical genius. Or just really lucky. Regardless, he was finally fed up with my attempts to engage him in a rousing game of hide-and-go-disturb-the-wildlife. So he gave me a graceful, majestic shove, and off I went. Right over a waterfall.
Surprisingly, I survived, and the water’s current – another new feature – yanked me about like a housecat whose curiosity guided it into a washing machine. Eventually, it deposited me at the base of the mountain, where I sighted an incredibly ominous-looking cave. “Why not?” I thought to myself.

finally this! I hope more developers will follow. I hope the same works with quick save too.

I hope they give credit where credit is due. I know that they've given credit to the bow skill mod, but I agree that a lot of other mods seem to have crept into Skyrim. It'd be nice to see those people listed in the credits of the game. I'm sure Bethesda legally owns any mods built with their toolkit, but it'd still be a gesture of respect to the community.

I'm curious though, what other mods have you noticed so far that Bethesda has implemented in Skyrim?

• Auto-save with custom time between save was taken from the mod Streamline (there was another mod also that had this feature).
• There were crafting mods for both Morrowind and Oblivion where you could craft almost everything (and we can apparently do so in Skyrim).
• Learning spell from spell cards/scrolls, there was a mod in Oblivion for learning spells from scrolls (I'm not talking about the DLC Spell Tome, it was using the in-game scrolls).
• Permanent Khajiit night eye.
• Some change to the magic system come from or are greatly inspired by Supreme Magicka/Midas Magic/Lame (example: summoning more then one monsters, fire causing "burns")
• Combat improvement (finishing moves, dual wielding, shield bash, etc) => Unnecessary Violence and others.
• Harvester mod (removed the plant or part of the plants you are harvesting)
• There was a mod in Oblivon that re-enabled the NPCs movements (no walking). Skyrim allow this as well.
