And also there is a new creation tool that is kind of like the construction kits that has been confirmed.
Seems like they are pulling a lot of ideas from the community, such as the deadly reflex mod.

Worries me…cause I can’t see 3D.
Don’t forget that they’re eliminating even more skills now. My guesses are that mercantile and speechcraft will be merged, sneak and security will be merged, and I would assume they’ll be lowering the number of different magic skills as well. And there probably won’t be spears, still.
