Do yourself a favor and at the very least play TES III: Morrowind; fantastic game that altered the entire genre permanently, for better or worse.
What I'm curious about is whether there will be level scaling, like staylost mentioned, and also what kind of DRM it will come with.
I would think, and hope, that Bethesda did away with the level-scaling enemies. It was almost certainly the single most criticized/hated/raged against element of TES IV: Oblivion. If Bethesda took even five seconds to consider the requests of their customers then they would certainly have done away with level-scaling enemies.
As far as the hated DRM is concerned, I fully expect SecuROM or another form of copy protection to be present on TES V: Skyrim for at least a few months. Of the big companies only CD Projekt Red (I'm not sure if CDPR qualifies as a big company yet, but they are certainly on their way) seems to be vehemently against DRM (god bless 'em for that) and even they had DRM on The Witcher 2 except on the digital version from GOG (wasn't really their call but the publishers'. Bethesda is their own publisher so it is their call) but they did away with it in the very first patch which came out barely more than a week after launch. Most companies eventually release a patch that removes DRM, but unlike CDPR, they usually wait a good 6 months - 1 year to do it. Worry not though, the pirate community will have NO DVD crack that will kill the DRM up within a week or so of launch, you can take that to the bank.
