Skyrim recapitulation preceding release date

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a lot of news about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and most recently this has included details on the install size for the game, which confused some people at only 3.8 GB for the Xbox 360 and 6GB for the PC.

Skyrim has a release date of November 11, although some people have already managed to get hands-on with the game, which is seen in the Xbox 360 unboxing video below this article, and this also includes a map.

Skyrim recapitulation preceding release date

Those of you that want to see Skyrim’s cool character creation and the faces should watch the second video below, which just teases the die-hard fans that have found the Skyrim countdown almost unbearable.

You can see a demo of Skyrim in the third video, which has been published by Bethesda and gives you insight into how they have rewritten everything. The video really helps you understand the size of the world in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and that a mountain in the background is not just scenery, you can actually walk on that mountain. We managed to have a little Skyrim hands-on at an event in London a couple of weeks ago, and to say the graphics are amazing would be an understatement.

The fourth video below this article showcases some of the most popular Skyrim features, including the leveling system, character progression and HUD. Fans have been building wish lists for months now, and this ranges from things wanted for Skyrim houses, Kinect support, multiplayer, a limited edition of the game, and wishes for the characters themselves. Feel free to share your wanted features in the comments while we wait for the full and detailed reviews to appear over the coming weeks.

You may also want to watch the fifth and sixth videos below that detail some new Skyrim screenshots and gameplay, although we will post more visual updates as we get them. The latest live action trailer can be seen in our earlier post here, and also details on the remains of dragons.

What platform will you buy Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on? The game will launch on Xbox 360, PS3 and of course PC? Does the Skyrim collector’s edition interest you, and give us your take on the new armor system and expectations for perks and skill unlocks?

    Tracking every tidbit of info that comes through on this game is the only way to bear the wait. I’ve seen probably every one of the videos above maybe like 20x over….only 2 more weeks.

    OMG! That sixth video! So much new material! :)

    I thought I saw a resurrect spell there on that pigeon/dove. And dragons fighting *each other* – lending weight to the idea that there might be at least one ally to be had amongst the dragons.

      it is from a dragon shout that calls a allied dragon down. It cannot be used in dungeons

  • Osu52191

    andrew…. it has already been confirmed that at one point you learn a dragon shout to call a dragon in to fight with you a friendly dragon

    I WISH AND RLY HOPE THEY KEEP THE VAMPIRE-ISM AND OR ADDING WEREWOLF DISEASE

    • Owlhelm

      Yes to vampirism, no to lycanthropy…and yes to cannibalism

  • Ian Pline

    so neat

  • phaedrus

    I cant really accuse them of ignoring pc rpg staples the way they did with oblivion. the new armor system/blacksmithing totally resembles the one used in the gothic series, a pc masterpiece.

  • Coolcatsarecold

    it would be awesome to see some limb damage… ( like if you hacked at somebodys head, itwould actualy just come off,)

  • Robert

    Lucky

    I would appreciate a certain hair style that no game has ever made yet. Its my actual hairstyle in real life and i don’t think im asking too much to have them put it into the game. Slicked back but not for a female or an elf. Just slicked back hair and then being able to change the length. So simple. In oblivion they kinda had it but there were these pony tail things on either side of your head.. Besides that, they already put just about everything else i could want. Amazing looking game.

    lucky guys get it on 11, i have to wait till 29th for my birthday

  • CrouchingWeasel

    Only 12 more sleeps!!! And that ethereal bow about to shoot down that bears throat looks amazing. I wonder if it’s an actual weapon or part of a new design for bound weapons. Anyone got any insight?

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_MNN2DFVZXLPHEXQG2OHXGEHEZA Chuck

      They have said in other articles that is the new look of the bound weapons. That they wanted to have a more magical look than actual weapons or something. I can’t quite remember. But I surely cannot wait!

      • CrouchingWeasel

        You’re telling me Chuck. I’m gonna be like a 5 year old at Christmas waiting for Santa on Nov 10th. I’ll be that excited I won’t be able to sleep.

    • larp

      It is a bound bow

  • Huli

    I changed the time and date on my computer to 11-11-11 and i got high.  Skyrim is epic guys (just a heads up) :P

  • ChadlyD86

    I am hoping for very interactive (great item display) houses that i can store all my loot in and show off a bit.  Also, i wish they were going to keep the Oblivion style armor system instead of Fallout’s style.  By that i mean i enjoyed the customizing (enchantment) options for individual armor pieces (boots, gauntlets, jewelry, chest armor, helmets, etc.) in Oblivion.  By only having two options, Fallout style (body & helmet) i feel a little bit more generic and un-unique. :( Also, i am shocked that we will not be able to create our own spells. :(  These complaints aside, I can’t freaking wait for 11,11,11.

    Can anyone tell me whats in the LIMITED edition of Skyrim on the xbox 360??

    • Paul Miller

      All versions of the XBOX 360 version are the Limited Edition. Limited in texture resolution, limited in framerate, limited in landscape detail, and limited in user interface. Enjoy!

  • General_beckbond

    Looks Brilliant

  • SKYRIM 11/11/11

    i hope the house that we buy/own is alot better than in oblivion, in oblivion it felt as if it wasnt even ours and didnt feel like ours + at times we didnt even know it was ours..

    in skyrim we could get a wife/husband living with us but i want more like keep pets inside and u get little extra boost if u sleep in your own bed or sumthing that makes u want to sleep in your own bed rather then a NPC’s bed

    yess i know.. besids having sex with your shemale partner..
