More news from Pete's twitter!

Turns out that Skyrim's in-game library will include "Choose Your Own Adventure" books!

Yes, there are a variety of book type. The other day a kid gave me his "choose your adventure" book. It was awesome.

Now that's something I truly did NOT expect!

Our devs are such nerds. They're awesome.

They should have a fan competition to write one that's then given away through DLC.

Well they're not truly. You CAN'T actually choose your own adventure. Still wicked though.

Yeah, massive nerds, in a good way.

Non-nerds don't make stuff like this.

Lets face it, pretending you're a half-elf, half-human who can fire ice out of hands and swing a shock enchanted blade which wearing a mages hood, while appealing to all of us, isn't the most conventionally cool thing to do

Long live nerds

When I found that terminal, I was in nerd nirvana. Amused, and rewarded for exploring. What more could you want from a game?

i think it would be cool to get svcked into the book like we got svcked into that painting in oblivion, and actually have to play through the adventure! mabe just have one book like that, that is enchanted to do that

Haha, that sounds awesome.

It's not interactive, you read through it normally.

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:45 pm

Pretty awesome, wish it was interactive though. =D

That's pretty awesome. I hope the amount of books in Skyrim is better than Oblivion. I hated walking into a building and seeing 20+ copies of the Fundamentals of Alchemy or Mage's Guild Charter.

Fractal like. Choose your own adventure books in a choose your own adventure game, like the Grelok terminal in FO3 but less computery. Very cool!

Nice!

And because of that it shouldn't be done again?

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:53 pm

Woah! That is very cool!

That was more of a Zork homage, versus a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book homage. Quite different, really.

Yo dawg. We heard you like adventures, so we added adventure books in skyrim so you can adventure while you adventure.

I love this. If it's anything like the whole Grognak game in FO3 then I'll be happy.

lol... i am a massive nerd, before i got a Commodore 64 i was into Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, this will be great fun!

I have since collected most of them again!

» Thu Sep 22, 2011 3:53 am

LOL, I used to love those books when I was a kid. I also didn't know about the one in FO3. Thanks.

I sat around with 2 friends and we got totally enraptured in a Zork emulator on the xbox 360, rather than playing Halo Reach or Call of Duty Brown Oops. True story.

But idk...while the Reign of Grelok sounds really cool, for some reason the child's choose your own adventure story just seems out of place. Anachronistic maybe. Somewhat childish.

I don't even know what "choose your own adventure" means. But cool, I guess?

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:38 pm

Here's to hoping you still have to turn ahead to your specific decision's page.

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:34 pm

I used to love those kinds of books.

Nice one!
