The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Get a premium Skyrim map with your preorder

Making real maps of our fantasy worlds is an Elder Scrolls tradition. As Todd Howard said all the way back in a Morrowind blog post, “There’s something about having a physical object in your hands that feels like it’s part of this other world, that you are that person in the game, finding your way among the hills.”

With that in mind, today we are announcing that anyone who preorders Skyrim will automatically receive a premium quality world map with their copy as a no-extra-cost-to-you bonus.

To guarantee your copy of your premium quality world map, please pre-order today.

Update: We’ve received plenty of questions about the map. So you know, it’s a high-grade material that has a feel similar to burlap, and will be available in North America and European territories. There will be a regular paper map included in all copies of the game, but if you want to get the premium map, we recommend pre-ordering the game.

i wants it baaaddd

However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Lyrics :D

DOVAHKIIN DOVAHKIIN
NAAL OK ZIN LOS VAHRIIN

AHRK FIN NOROK PAAL GRAAN
FOD NUST HON ZINDRO ZAAN

and translation

    Dragonborn Dragonborn
    By his honor is sworn
    To keep evil forever at bay
    And the fiercest foes rout
    When they hear triumph's shout
    Dragonborn for your blessing we pray
    
    And the scrolls have fortold
    Of black wings in the cold
    That when brothers wage war come unfurled
    Alduin bane of kings
    Ancient shadow unbound
    With a hunger to swallow the world


IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

so today is Friday - 3 ;)

Now

Argonian or Bosmer for first character?
Quote
Five large cities, comparatively larger than those in Oblivion, are available to explore (and to be attacked from above by dragons), along with a wider variety of caves and subterranean areas. The main five cities will be walled and located in separate worlds to conserve memory (like Oblivion) but the 15 or so minor cities will be open (like Morrowind). Fast-traveling to locations already discovered has returned. Cooking, farming, wood-cutting, and mining, in addition to weapon-smithing, can be done in different towns. Children are also featured in the game.

New factions include the Companions (mercenary guild), the College of Winterhold (magic guild) and the Stormcloaks (rebels), as well as the return of the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood.

The 150+ dungeons in the game were created by a team of eight, whereas Oblivion's dungeons were all created by one designer.

Upon a giant mountain, the Throat of the World houses the home of the Greybeards, High Hrothgar, at the head of 7,000 steps.

Mounts have been confirmed as something the team is looking into, and horses are confirmed. Hostile creatures include: giant spiders, elk, trolls, ice wraiths, zombies, sabre-toothed cats, wolves, ice golems, skeletons, draugrs and dragons.

Some creatures such as mammoths and giants are non-hostile.

"Dynamic shadows" will be used and snow will fall and accumulate dynamically. Plants will move more believably with the wind, and the water in the game will actually flow along a course.
