Real life lore books, full of pretty pictures and text that'll probably be available in-game. Yours for only $100! That's only more than most versions of the game! Pre-order now!

I can't even tell if I'm joking anymore.

Cost the same price as a physical Imperial Edition. Not sure too many people will purchase this

Holy fark this looks awesome.

I'm getting one.

I might get it. Interesting to read through.

EDIT: Reached consensus, getting one.

They need a deluxe version that includes the swag from Retail Imperial. I'd buy that.

Actual lore books with 272 pages worth of content, dayuuuuuum! At 100 dollars though this is definetely a novelty item but I'm definetely tempted to buy this I'd be honored having these books in my collection.

Very nice indeed.

I can't get through to the page - it keeps asking me to enter my date of birth and then just taking me to the official site homepage. Same if I click on the link from there. *shrug*

*edit* - nm, got through in the end but had to use a different browser. How weird.

Really gorgeous books. I'm genuinely tempted...

I bought the physical Imperial Edition in part because of the limited printed book that came with it. While these new books look nice it's too much.

$60 dollars shipping to Australia OMMGWTF!? What're they made of cinder?

Lol, watch me pay $55 for shipping.

WHAAAAAAA???

Aww man...

Way to let me down USA....

Yeah, the international shipping costs are a huge turn-off. I think I'll just spend the money on my sub!

Thanks for posting this ^^

Copped it at once! Though 55$ shipping is alot XD

No way to argue that's NOT a money grab..

Definitely only for the dedicated super fans.

Very nice collection... this is something Bethesda should do for some of the Skyrim books.

Oh my god, I need this. But a hundred dollars, ten days after a hundred dollar purchase of the game? I don't know if I can swing that. But how could I not get it? So confused.

Bought mine. I'd only waste the money anyway. On stuff like food, rent or electricity.

purchased it

They sure know how to take our money

Ok, times like this I have to take a step back and remember that I am no longer a teenager in the local D&D shop. I don't need all the shinies. Plus, from the few screens it looks androcentric as hell. I'd rather put a hundred dollars towards an independent female comic artist than support more of the same ol' same ol' boys club crap.

I think it's a bit overpriced, and also that it was a bad idea to sell it now when we just spent 60 to 90 dollars already to buy the game, a lot of people may want to but won't have any money left.

On the other hand it's a very good idea of items to sell, completely collector, nothing to do with playing the game at all.Heck I'm sure it could even interest TES fans who don't plan to play ESO. I certainly approve of this 100% contrary to what I felt about the imperial edition.

Also if they wanted to do something similar with the extra content from the physical collector edition I would also be interested (meaning not the game but just the goodies in physical form).

But it would have ton be later on, maybe 6 months or so from now so I have time to save money for it.

Would be a great edition to my collection, but $100?

Has anyone heard if there will be an Official Elder Scrolls Online Guide available? Will probably wait for the Collector's

edition of that.

Uhh okay, you won't support them because it's focused towards a male audience? I really don't understand the logic of supporting a female artist over a male one are you intentionally trying to be sixist or...?

I ordered it, got to move some things around but it seemed worth it really. A bit overpriced but that's okay, I can make this money up in different ways.
