Hopefully to make everyone's life easier, here is the reasoning behind why linking to or sharing the links to these videos are not allowed here.

The video is trademarked by Bethsoft and they have been actively shutting down youtube accounts who upload this video. It is not allowed here for multiple reasons, including;

Hosting or providing access to trademarked materials through word of mouth on forums.
Endangering users youtube accounts as they re-upload video because of a dead link in the forums.
Spoiling gameplay for other members, particularly the staff and helpful members who might have to verify video content.
Leading to countless complaint topics about graphics, sound, and animation from poorly recorded, low resolution video.

Between all the video threads which popped up when they first came available, some of them being re-created after moderators locked them or posted from other accounts, it is in our best interest to have no part of it. If users are really, REALLY desperate to see this stuff, they can search Youtube for it on their own volition.


Users posting this information will be banned from these forums, but may make an appeal to be processed when we feel like it.

Expanding this to include any screenshots which do not originate from official press releases due to the proliferation of illegal materials.


Just wait on the darn game. Stop trying to get peeks and links for unauthorized content, it only serves to make pirates and other illegal types feel better.

Unpinning this and letting it drop/die as the game is now officially out.
