    Most Elder Scrolls fans should know by now that Bethesda has officially announced the 5th Elder Scrolls game . It's called Skyrim and takes place shortly after the events of Oblivion. My only problem so far is that Skyrim is known to be a rocky and snowy landscape... I was hoping for a more colorful warm foresty landscape... The game is due out next November, that's 5 years since Oblivion. Thoughts?

    Oh and here's the reveal teaser:

      Thank god they're not using the Gamebryo engine, that's all I have to say. Hopefully the next batch of Fallout titles will have whatever new engine they use on Skyrim.

          I don't think anymore Fallout games are coming out, just DLC for New Vegas. At least that's what I heard. New Vegas wasn't even made by Bethesda.

            Too lucrative not to make more titles. After they make Skyrim, they'll make a new Fallout.

              If another Fallout does come out, it won't be made by Bethesda. They already said Fallout 3 was their last for that series. Obsidian Entertainment made New Vegas. Bethesda only published it, they had nothing to do with the actual development. Bethesda is moving on to other (new) projects after Skyrim. But even so, Todd Howard (the creator of Bethesda) said they will never stop making Elder Scrolls games, it's their baby.

                im very excited to hear of skyrim, im in love with the elder scrolls series. they're some of the only good next gen games. yeah they should stop while they are ahead with the fallout series. new vegas is not bad, very glitchy and alot to be desired. especially when compared to the likes of fallout 3

                  Very much looking forward to this. Especially if there's a revamped engine. Can't wait to see the Nord homeland.

                  As for the Fallout series, I'm sure Beth will making more. Pete Hines was quoted as saying something to the affect of how it would be silly to not make more than one FO game after going through the trouble of purchasing the license.

                    Well apparently, Skyrim IS NOT just snow and mountains, it's actually based on Scandinavia and British Columbia so it will have snow but also be a mildly warm climate with lots of red wood forests (the forests with HUGE trees, Google image that shit). There's also strong rumors that werewolves will be in this game since Skyrim is where Lycanthropy first started.

                    Anyway, this is easily my most anticipated game since Oblivion came out (2006). On another note, Mass Effect 3 is coming out around the same time next year. These will both be first day buys for me!

                                  we preordered when it was announced, but apparently my wife upgraded mine to the collector's edition and called it a late graduation present.

                                    I went to EB Games/GameStop last night and they told me they're not opened on the day of release so I have to wait an extra day! WTF!

                                        I found out that where I live, it's Remembrance Day and it's a stat holiday so nothing is open and schools are closed.

                                          Are we the only ones on Retro Junk that are actually excited about this game? This thread should be the most popular right now. I mean it's only the most anticipated game of life.
