To Skyrim or not to Skyrim

I'm unsure, do I want Skyrim now, or later on when there's a GotY edition with the "expansions".

Then again, a game series that was mainly customization and character development had moved on to less and less customization and less and less character development.

Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind was huge in customization, there were armors aplenty, or you could choose not to have and still be good. Then an immensive enchantment system and a similair spell creation system. Tribunal made a small attempt att putting in a "Forge" where you could make your own armor, if you had the material.

Skyrim seem to have the same enchantment system as Oblivion and then no custom spell maker at all. Why? Then there's armor. Grieves, torso piece and shoulder pads have been put into one piece, then helmets, gauntlets and boots are just for looks apparently. Better for the performance of the game, well, maybe the graphics aren't everything?

I'm also curious if they went to Morrowind road or the Oblivion road with Argonians and Khajits in Skyrim. I'm refeering to the feet and heads. In Morrowind, Argonians couldn't have closed helmets because of their noses, not sure about the Khajits, they could not have boots either because of their feet. Oblivion? Every race the same, different skins. I don't see the purpose of having ten different races with their own lore and so on if they are going to be the same. Only differences were the starting skill bonuses and attributes. Now when attributes are gone, the only difference could be skills and a starting power. Something that doesn't have a permanent effect since that little starting bonus won't be noticable after ten levels, or even five.
