As much as I love Argonians, they are my favorite race, I hate swamps...
So, I'd rather have a really beautiful snowy Skyrim. The moutains surrounding Bruma was my favorite area in Oblivion.

We know too much now; they'll have to announce it.

I bet we'll see some information and possibly screenshots withing the next couple of days; maybe a thanks giving present.

They'll do something like: "Give Thanks" as a headline on the website and then show us what they have.

I'd like Elsweyr. A beautiful desert would be great.

Does any one else feel like Bethesda might actually be leaking all of this on purpose? You know to hype up the announcement and such.

On the first page of this thread I put up a months-long conspiracy that was completely unsubstantiated by damn fun to write. So I think it may be possible, but I can't confirm that it is so.

Yes, they are doing so because they will announce the game this weekend and they are trying to draw attention. That's why the news was almost in all game magazines :hubbahubba:

Would announcing TESV draw the attention off Brink, Rage, Hunted and FNV's DLCs with it's pre-orders, consequently draining people's money that was destined to these games?

What does TES V have to do with any of those? The first two are shooters, the third is an Obsidian game that's already been released, hence the DLC really isn't a priority. Bethesda Softworks already got their check from Microsoft.

50 guests! Geez, didn't know there were that many guys that just read the forums.

No because aside from FNV, none of those games are in the same genre as TESV.

Nobody would announce squat on a big holiday weekend - who is going to read it, who is going to report it? Everybody is eating/sleeping/watching football/shopping, and all the blogs are on holiday. Be a good way to make sure nobody saw an announcement, but thats about it.

No, because TES V wont be announced with a definite release date, and if it is announced with one, it will be far away from the release dates of everything you just mentioned. That is, assuming Bethesda's marketing department knows what it's doing.

My reply is TES> Brink+Rage+Hunted+FNV+whatever game you may add... Because it is unique. That's why it will be the game of the year once again

Yeah... that's what I thought.
Because there are lots of people that likes each of these games like myself, I want Rage, Brink, Hunted, and FNV's DLCs. So they have to pick a game to spend money on 'cus not everyone has a lot of money

Bah forget it...

I'm wondering why they would need to Intentionally release data I mean all Bethesda needs to do is have Gstaff or some other Admin PM or E mail everybody saying big announcement tommorow at noon. Then they announce it to the whole forum which then crashes the site.

The soonest I think they would announce it would be right before the VGA's with the latest being in March on the 5th Anniversary of Oblivion coming out.

I think Bethesda won't release a date until after Diablo III comes out, which makes sense because that would be right before E3

Wait? Isn't Diablo 3 coming in 2012 anymore?

Nooo, Diablo 3 is like 1st quarter of this next year my friend.

Really? Source please.
This is great! Well at least I'll have something to distract me until TESV release.

I was about to say this seems to be slowing down and stabilizing. That's nice.

Anyway, if they are already starting the voice work and it hasn't been announced, then that means that there will likely be very few massive changes between announcement and release.

hunted is a may release
brink is april
rage is sept
diablo 3 -does NOT have a release date

Gamespy has picked up on the hype. http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/1136329p1.html

Read the last paragraph of the article. Apparently Eurogamer knows something others don't.

Oh Man, I can't wait till it's release! So many exciting stages of announcements to go! We still have to go through the exciting new feature stage, such as graphics and soft shadows! Then comes the dissapointing missing feature stage, such as "why are the pauldrons attached to the cuirass?!? gloves are paired?!? no more soft shadows?!?" and then... my favourite stage of all, the endless flame wars of console vs PC... cuz that war wasn't won over morrowind and oblivion already... *facepalm*

no matter if the article speaks truth or not, they're most probably working on it, as the interview with Mr. Howard pointed out.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:21 pm

Eurogamer goes on to state that Elder Scrolls V has been in development for two years and Bethesda plans to make an official announcement about the game "soon."
