Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I was half joking, I'm definitely still hyped/will-play regardless.

But for real, I have little faith in their new engine being much better.

AWESOME. I've kind of fell out of gaming the last couple of months, but I'm definitely down for another one of these. It's a shame it won't be the same kind of visual leap Oblivion was, but whatever. That's not what these games are about at the end of the day.

The Bethesda Twitter feed sez that it's a brand new engine.

No, but it is a new engine.

There was a lot of conflicting information after IGN ran that story. They just confirmed it two hours ago.

I'm pretty stoked. Just no autoleveling enemies or 100% chameleon this time. Those were the only two things wrong with Oblivion.

I never liked this, at all. New Vegas had it figured out a little better, but there is still room to improve.

Fuck you. I loved that shit in later play throughs.

I want the return of Morrowind level nonsense. Where, like, with the right potion combination and knowledge you can beat the game in 15 minutes. Makes replay ridiculously fun.

I'm just expecting a new version of GameBryo.

Yeah, this is exactly what I'm expecting for this. It would be nice if it used id Tech 5, though. (I'm pretty sure the majority says this regarding any new development within Zenimax.)

Game Informer has shared its upcoming Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim cover with the Internet, and it's not saying much. Or is it? According to the publication, those eldritch runes on the back cover are actually saying something important. You'll need to translate the message with help that GI will apparently provide later.

The front cover has an ultraviolet coating which will make the Skyrim logo pop out, thus demonstrating that even magazines are getting in on that 3D lark.

Every now and then, a game magazine will bring out a cover that I really like. This is one of them, and that's in no small way helped by the fact that I love me some Elder Scrolls. I can't wait for the game, and while I'm jealous of GI getting the skinny, I'll be delving into that mag like a bitch.

Nice cover for a shit magazine.
