Is there anything from ES IV that I should know before I start playing this? I've never played any of the Elder Scrolls series before this game, so I have no idea if there is stuff I should know before I jump into Skyrim so that the story will make sense.
Not really. It's a pretty self-contained story.

Only thing you need to know about Skyrim is, whatever you decide you want to do combat-wise, it's a viable option (even as far as going around punching the fuck out of people). Bethesda did a great job of making every way of killing shit a viable one.

I would recommend, since you enjoy Assassin's Creed so much, you should try going with a stealthy build with daggers. They added some REALLY cool assassination combat cutscenes with daggers and sneak attacks.
