WTF? I'm excited for the game too, but come on! Just wait like everyone else, and BUY it. STOP being so mad. I'm really not asking for a leaked copy, I have pre-ordered it just as well. Ok, I'll STOP If you capitalise BUY then I'll capitalise STOP. :P My 60 Euros lie read here.

You misinterpreted me. I'm not asking for myself, just out of fear that it CAN happen. I want to play Skyrim when I get it, not earlier. Then you might wanna clarify that in the OP But yeah. I can imagine that it is POSSIBLE that is could get leaked... but I'm doubting it. Bethesda knows everyone they sent a copy to, and it wouldn't take to much tracing to find the source. I highly doubt any reporter would risk their future reviews for Bethesda, and possibly their job. So you probably have no reason to worry. Done that. Anyway, what about inside leaks? There's more people working in Bethesda than Oblivion so...

Can the game get leaked? Just wondering, if you can rip it from the disc and release it on the internet. EDIT: Some people misinterpret me. I'm not asking for myself, just out of fear that it CAN happen. I want to play Skyrim when I get it, not earlier.

Such things have been confirmed. Carts, merchants, random quests like a wedding group, ect...

I think they're seperate puzzles, with seperate claws. Bit sad that it happens twice though.

I'm sorry but Skyrim isn't coming out for Mac..

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/324352/previewsthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-163-minutes-27-seconds-with-a-300-hour-game/ Some exciting bits: There's a Bard Guild, but I think it's not joinable and only for a few quests. This guy played it on PS3, and there were no complaints, so I guess PS3 owners can stop worrying He plays quite an original quest which he got from the Bard Guild's leader - read the article to see for yourself He takes a treasure from a pressure plate, causing Draugrs to attack He encounters a combination lock similar to Bleak Falls Barrow He did a cool speech minigame where he had to fill in missing parts of an ancient verse He finds solitude bigger than other cities in Oblivion

I recommend you to not watch them. First off ,they don't have any major spoilers, but it will ruin the first 20 minutes of the game for you by saying "been there, done that". Secondly, the videos have horrid quality which will cause a distortion of the image of the game for you.

This video has caused a massive flood of complaining amongst people. The central points seem to be -The voice acting is bad Nothing wrong with it, why is everyone complaining? -The animations are bad Safe from when the guy ran up the stairs, the animations look really damn good. -The textures look bad, graphics look bad, ect... This video: 480p Filmed on a TV Xbox version And it STILL looks amazing. Watch those 2 videos in 720p HD, and you'll see what I mean

Can You run it has Skyrim up in it's checklist. It's not that reliable though, many players found their specs not enough to play, but were able to play just fine anyway. It's just a nice little thing to check. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

I think those journalists get them for preview purposes only. And as you know, they usually try to keep some spoilers on the main quest. And yeah he is a journalist.

Thats not the preorder map I dont think .. Its very unlikely that bethesda doesn't want the unbocking videos out now lols.. IGN is very pro... I bet bethesda sent out emails saying it was ok to go ahead and do unbockings or announce the review copies arrived.. kinda a weird way of announcing the game went gold I really hope that it's not the preorder map, but sadly I think it is....why did you cheap out on us Todd :( Why would it be? Gamestore over here has a special edition that includes the map from the Collector's edition. That would be pointless if it was the same as the normal edition.

He's got 2 days left. :P

Of course there are more. You can pick a preset face, but still change everything about it to your liking. Think of it as a good base to start with.

Already two reports of reviewers getting a review copy for Skyrim. I think it's safe to say that Skyrim has gone GOLD I can almost feel Skyrim at the tip of my tongue!

The armor at highest rank will probably rock everything again. It was just awesome to kill people in it.

Thing you can add:

The parts that I saw were AMAZING, didn't watch the whole thing, they definitely did a brilliant job in keeping the feeling of vast-ness from the art and transferring that into the game. What did you think of them? They really managed to capture the essence of everything, even on a console. I am deeply, deeply impressed now.

I recommend then to only check out the YT video. It doesn't show that much concept art, but compares it to the game.

^ This. The hell can you tell that? .. The citiesp were more packed than oblivion for sure .. and from the sound of it you run into random quests and people out in the forest constantly There was like 5 people maximum on screen at one time. Based on JUST the videos, the cities look as populated or a little more populated than Oblivion, which isn't a good thing. A truly breathing, living city would have atleast 50-100 people. And I am concerned about every little thing since im a console gamer and i don' t have access to mods. Also, that public execution was pretty nice. Yes .. 50-100!! .. that and clothe physics on all outfits .. and hair! .. oh oh .. and facial hair shoud have real 3D stubble .. also that falling giant looked like sh*t .. they need to add physics based falling animations like GTIV .. oh .. and SSAO on character skin. Seriously .. 50-100? .. yea sure .. 30 people living in a city isn't realistic but for christ sakes .. do you know how much they would have to dumb down the graphics to manage 100 people in every city? .. or the AI would be highly dumbed down .. they would just all walk around town silently doing nothing like every other rpg .. bleh .. Detail > Content Scale 1. Theyve had 3 full years to work on this game. If they wanted to they could have added flying mudcrabs that breathe skooma. 2. I personally would be okay if they added a couple dozen people to each city in exchange for a ladybug crawling on a leaf inside a fallen log in the middle of nowhere. Plus there will always be graphic mods to help you PC gamers out. 3. I'm not asking for something as unreasonable as 3D nose hair like your sarcastic reply made it seem. Cities are obviously gonna be the place where we all spend the most time. It would make sense to spend a little more effort on them instead of sticking 6 people in a bar, 3 of which who actually work there. You realize how flawed your logic on this is right? .. like you took a moment after your post and thought about it? .. I hope so .. just in case .. Sure its true they could do anything in three years with a game .. three years is a lot of time to do great things .. and guess what? .. they wernt sitting on their asses this whole time.. but they had other priorities .. like making a good game with detailed NPC behaviors AND all the other stuff .. but yea . I guess they could have spent all that time on dragons and weapons and armor and put it into making 100 NPCs extremely detailed walking around the towns and eating up the FPS on any non uber PC... and seriously .. look at that video again and tell me those cities dont look packed enough? .. and yes I know I'm being a sarcastic ass to you but your acting like there is no increase in the amount of NPCs and I think from those videos shows that there clearly is. I agree, its literally impossible. Don't forget those NPCs should have things to say (and not all the same things!) quests to give and schedules to follow.
