The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Post by Skyalmian »

11-11-11
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (also referenced as Skyrim) is a fantasy role-playing video game in development by Bethesda Game Studios; it is to be published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth installment in The Elder Scrolls action fantasy video game series, and is a direct sequel to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The game was announced on December 11, 2010 at the Spike Video Game Awards with a release date of November 11, 2011. The game takes place in the Nordic land of Skyrim, on the fictional continent of Tamriel. The story will revolve around dragons, who will be challenged by a person known as the \"Dragon born\".

Skyrim will utilise a new proprietary engine, forgoing the Gamebryo engine used for the previous two instalments in the series. The new engine will incorporate some existing technology used in other Bethesda games, such as Oblivion and Fallout 3. Executive producer Todd Howard has stated that the studio has invested in new talent to significantly improve the characters and animation over previous Bethesda games.
Didn't take long for a Facebook page to show up for it. :P

I'm thinking about finally playing some Morrowind.
I needs me some freedom to play in, try to get rid of this perfectionist streak i have when i play games and just go mental killing trees or NPCs or bears or mushrooms or whatever. RPG psychotherapy, quite literally.

I enjoyed the Daggerfall demo many years ago, and i just learned a few days ago that Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion were all sequels to one another! i never knew they were related, all these years i'd been missing out on reliving my Daggerfall fun :(.
They are all part of this series, no-one told me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls
