Many questions, not all have been awnsered 100% by the devs but I will take a shot.

1. They are attempting to merge single-player and mmo styles into one game. There are going to be a ton of skill lines, magic will be divided into many different skill lines. The magic skill lines we are used to is going to change, example destruction is going to be broken into different skill lines such as some being put into the dragon knight class. There will be racial, class, guild, and ability skill lines, with some will being mutually exclusive. From what I have heard from people that have play tested this game is that character creation will put Skyrims to shame. There is much more I could say, I would need specific questions or I would end up writing a book.

2. As far as what can be seen all of Tamriel, with the exception of Black Marsh, will be explorable. To the extent of how absolteuly fleshed out each area will be time will tell. Cyrodiil is the pvp province and it is 2/3's larger then all of the other zones put together.

3. I am sure at the very least the realm of Coldharbour will be availiable seeing as how that is Molag Bal's domain.

4. You must remember that this game is set 950 years before the events of Skyrim during a time called the Interregnum. Tamriel may look very different then the areas you are used to. Zenimax has said they want to keep the feeling that you can run off in any direction and find something awesome around every corner.

5. Yes

6. There are your overarching racial factions.

Nords, Dunmer, and Argonains- Ebonheart Pact

Altmer, Khajit, and Bosmer- Aldmeri Dominion

Breton, Orsimer, and Reguard- Daggerfall Covenant

Then there will be guilds to join which give you their own skill lines

Fighters Guild- Tasked with shutting down the dark anchors, gets skill lines for fighting undead and daedra

Mages Guild- Main tasks revolve around tomes of necromancy I believe

Dark Brotherhood- Will be added post launch

7. No, you will always have to be connected

8. There will be a mega server that everyone plays on, it will have different levels that seperate out people. It will consist of phasing, layering, and campaigns to maintain a stable population for you to see.

Hope that helps
