This gives me more faith in the game than any screenshots or interviews could *wipes tear from eye*

Also appears to be Ehlnofex derivative, nice

Words will be added to the Library's translation dictionary later today

Same here. Bethesda seems to have put lots of work into the game's prerelease stuff. A dramatic buildup of viral advertising can only exist if it's to complement the equally deep and expansive content of the game.

Like I and maybe a few other guys will decipher it and post what WE THINK it is. In spoiler tags of course:D

Once you run out of letters, you'll need to trial and error a few before you can get going again.

I know! Isn't it awesome?! They put a lot of work into this, and its going to be an integral part of the game... I seriously hope (and believe) the game is gonna be this complex and detailed all-around.
