It's a small one, but I thought it might be interesting.

Hmm, they definitely didn't have that before. Wonder why they got a second one...

Interesting. Probably a minor detail, but who knows.

In the Speculation thread, nothing is ever a minor detail!

Edit:As for the booth, its rather small.

That says something to me. Bethesda, last time they did their Oblivion demo, they had a very select group of people let in to see it. It was just a small dark room with chairs in it and a projector to watch the demo on.

Seems to me this might be a similar situation.

It's here, the prophecy will finally come true. As it was foretold in the Elder Scrolls, we shall have a new Elder Scrolls game(after the Oblivion Crisis, this should be quite interesting).

We hope this means TES V will be at E3. Believe me, I share your enthusiasm, Seti, but best not to get your hopes too far up. That way, if it's not, it won't hurt as much.

...But I'd still be sobbing quietly in the corner...

Thinking about what everyone said I think I get it, Beth simply gave no answer and that was recorded as 'secret' its not a yes or a no, but a no comment! Oh well, now all that's left is to wait for E3 I guess.

On a slightly less related note: Some of the comments on everyone's favourite Bethblog page are starting to make me think the Adoring Fan was some sort of homage to the rabid TES fans.

The "surprise" booth will be Bethesda's new Wii title, ahem, at least the title Bethesda is publishing for the Wii. The booth is right next to renowned Wii developer High Votage... they are going to save money by showcasing their games using the same Wii console and swapping discs.

It's also really close to the Game Informer booth (# 4036), that surely will make the announcement somewhat easier...

Well, if we want to assume some manner of clever wordplay, did Bethesda say that the list on the blog page was all they'd have at the booth or all they'd have completely? Neither, it just called it their "announced lineup." However, if they were asked and said that those titles were 'everything they'd have at the booth," then this might mean something.

Wait, you didn't already think that?

We should be assuming some manner of clever wordplay. This is Bethesda Game Studios we're talking about here! Todd Howard and Pete Hines!

They could also be plain lying, unless they are deeply religious or something I don't see why they couldn't do that :shrug:

Well then, I don't know about you, but I'm going to close my eyes and click my heels together and assume that while they're showcasing some published title nobody cares about in the larger booth, a secret unveiling of TES V will be held within the second.

The small E3 booth sounds promising, but i'm a bit wary. If it's close to the GI booth, then that's a bit more assuring

Unfortunately, location has a lot to do with the wings configuration, and it would be illogical to place booths by others for these types of reasons. Geometry, ADA requirements, fire codes, and $$ play the largest part in all of that... I don't think anything can really be inferred by the proximity of this booth to another. To be honest, they are likely using the smaller booth to showcase Fallout New Vegas and the larger booth for the other published titles.

People are going to get seriously demoralized if it isnt at E3... regardless of whats been said. I assume this all happened last year as well though.

Does Bethesda really want that to happen? Disappointing their fans isn't exactly the best move...

I believe there's a chance for everyone to be surprised: A: Those expecting the "surprise" will be surprised when it never occurs -OR- B: Those not expecting anything at E3 will be surprised if TES:V is announced. My vote is on 'A'.
