Thank fuck. That pretty much alleviates all of my fears about this.
FUCK YES, NEW ENGINE
going into cryostasis for the next year. see you all then
I am totally psyched for this!
Alright, new engine. My willingness to pay has drastically increased.
So did like anyones penis not create a room full of jizz?
Definitely interested, might be a day one buy, but I might just wait for mods to get good before trying.
Glad to hear they're going North with this. I've always liked the Icewind Dale-setting.

ESII Daggerfall - High Rock/Hammerfell
ESIII Morrowind - Vvardenfell/Morrowind
ESIV Oblivion - Cyrodiil
ESV is Skyrim which seems to be smaller than Cryodiil, but I guess they could scale it up a bit since Cyrodiil was only 16 square miles, or they could add dungeons and shit. I remember reading that ESV was supposed to take place on Summerset Isles so maybe that'll be an expansion? IIRC you couldn't even explore the majority of Morrowind (the mainland, that is) in ES3, you were stuck on Vvardenfell until the expansion.
brb putting self into induced coma for a year
seriously, Cartman had the right idea. I can't wait for this. it is not physically possible.
also, how weird that this news comes out the same weekend I choose to start a new Oblivion character, after not having touched it for months on end. Tamriel is calling me, no doubt.
Hopefully they plan on going away from the godawful 5-5-1 leveling system. That shit was tedious as fuck.
I really hope this game looks better than Cyrodill in ES4. Skyrim feels like its going to be very little color differences compared to oblivion

A new era is dawning in the world of Tamriel, and we've got 14 pages of screens and details straight from Bethesda.
The February issue of Game Informer is about to hit subscribers, and you can now see a first look at the new cover image. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the next huge role-playing game from Bethesda, the makers of Oblivion and Fallout 3. Bethesda was kind enough to walk us though the new game a few weeks ago, and we can't wait to share what we experienced with all of you.
The cover features a first for Game Informer. While this digital version of the image shows off the stark, black styling, the real treat comes in the print version. There you'll see a special ultraviolet coating that accentuates the symbol in the center, giving a striking, 3-dimensional texture to the image.

What's that on the back cover? The strange language seen there offers the first hints of Skyrim's story, along with a unique tie to the singing in the recent teaser trailer. What does it say? The answer lies in translating the stanzas into English. Check back later today to solve the puzzle. It's the first installment of our month-long extravaganza of online Skyrim stories, all of which will be found on the game's hub page as they release, linked from the image below.
We hope you enjoy the mysterious cover. And don't worry. The inside of the magazine has over 20 screenshots that show off Skyrim in all its glory, along with a 14-page article on the new gameplay, engine, story and setting for this latest Elder Scrolls epic.
Also in this issue, we reveal our top 50 games of 2010, including your reader picks for game of the year. What did we choose? What did you choose? And were they the same?
In addition, the February issue includes our first look at Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, our blowout on the new Mortal Kombat game (including two new characters), and our frightening look at the newest Silent Hill. Also watch for our final review of Dead Space 2.
As always, thanks to all of our readers for checking out the magazine and website. Let us know what you think about the new cover in the comments below, and don't forget to come back later today to learn more about its mysteries.
fuck yea. The teaser talked about dragons and the elder scrolls and the return/rise of the dragons, so I wonder if you'll actually get to have a big epic dragon fight in this game
