the best guess
is this is for Prototype 2

Prototype 2.....awesome.

If Bethesda could do me just ONE favour! it would be to leave "Games for Windows Live" completely OUT of the picture. I just reinstalled FO3 and cannot get GFWL to work at all!

I hate windows live, I hate MSN messenger, Hotmail all that garbage. I don't care if they make TES V in the land of the Bosmer! Just keep Windows live as far away from my Elderscrolls experience as possible!

Then don't use it. The client just got updated and there are bound to be issues. Just contact support, if you really need to.

This should go into ideas and suggestions, and let's keep the rage to a minimum I hate it to buuut.



Also, why is Bethesda being so quite before the VGA? I bet it's a strategy to let the other companies hype there announcements to the max and then bam we get a bomb shell from Bethesda, it's just to odd because Bethesda has no internally developed game announced yet and hasn't for the past two years. Fall Out 3 was released about 3 years after Oblivion and we waited about a year for it's release. So it only makes sense that we would get some form of announcement. It just doesn't add up at all, yet everything fits perfectly into place.

They're always kinda quiet though.

That is until they announce something and then the flood comes and kills us all with amazing game play and graphics

:ahhh: lol can't wait for that

Remember that these rumors are all stemming from the same source, the original Eurogamer Denmark article found http://www.eurogamer.dk/articles/2010-11-22-the-elder-scrolls-v-paa-vej. People are translating it to mean different things, and the original source may have even misinterpreted or misheard what actually happened (or it could all be made up. Just saying...). I am sure TESV will only be a direct sequel chronologically, there won't be "Oblivion 2." That just isn't Bethesda's style, especially after the long wait.

The article says that one of their employees sat next to a dude working on TESV on a plane. He said that the voice acting was underway now (it doesn't say anything about danish voice actors, don't know where people got that idea). And he also says it will be a "direct" sequel to Oblivion. I doubt it.

I'm really having a hard time believing that a guy who has signed an NDA will just suddenly reveal all the secrets of TES to a random guy on a plane. Doesn't sound very credible.

I've been thinking along these lines... but then again, what could they hype?

No matter how subtly they do it, if Bethesda are announcing a game, it'll be TES V. The only way they could keep an announcement fresh come the VGAs would be to announce it solely during the VGAs themselves.

The article says that one of their employees sat next to a dude working on TESV on a plane.

The article states he sat BEHIND the dude working on TESV, i.e. a row back.

You're misunderstanding what happened. A journalist was in the row behind a guy who was working on TESV, who, perhaps rather carelessly, was talking on the phone with someone else about the game. The journalist caught on to what he was hearing, and, realizing he had the story of the month sitting in his hands, immediately started writing stuff down.

To me, that's very credible. You'd be surprised how safe people think they are with information in public places, especially airports. If you listen a little bit next time you're in an airport, you'll hear people talking about all sorts of things, because nobody thinks that anybody is paying attention to them. You feel safe in a crowd, so you divulge information you would never talk about if you thought people were listening. Hell, I had a friend once who was sitting in an airport lobby and the dude in the row behind him was a Lockheed Martin employee talking about an important government contract! People really do just feel safe with information in public places that are as crowded, busy, and noisy as an airport or an airplane proper.

So the idea that a TESV employee was talking about the game doesn't surprise me. All you need is somebody to understand what he's talking about (which wouldn't be too difficult if he was dropping phrases like "The Blades" all over), and bam, you've got your story.

That also means that it's very possible that this could be someone who regularly talks loudly about the upcoming TES:V project in public places hoping to prank passing journalists

I am so doing this next time I'm in a public place

[Bad News Rogers]

Why does everyone assume that the plane (with the editor from Eurogamer) was flying to or from Denmark?
The man could just as easily have been on a flight in the US or to the Netherlands, Germany or France where Bethesda just opened new offices for marketin and sales purposes.
The Fallout and TES franchises have a large fanbase in Europe (i'm from the Netherlands myself) and we are also eagerly awaiting TES5.

[Justin]

So they could have been in Denmark to survey the land for environment ideas for Skyrim or to get authentic sounding voice actors. I really hope it's the latter because that would mean the game is nearly finished.

Unlikely. I always equated the Nords more with Norwegians anyways, they were the best of the vikings in my opinion all though the weakest of Scandinavia later on.

[Mr. Ray]

Actually, I used to do something very similar with my friends. My friends and I would loudly talk about games that were not real, saying that they had just been announced recently. We would make some kids very excited, and even several advlts would frantically try to squeeze information out of us when we did it in Gamestop. Ah, good times...

Still though, I have a hard time imagining an advlt would be doing this when alone on a plane. I used to do it when I was younger and with friends, there would simply be no point in that as an alone advlt. Perhaps he was speculating on the game while talking on the phone with a friend, and this was misinterpreted? If only we had a recording of this, then we could more accurately speculate on what was said...

[jasminε]

Just because he said a direct sequel doesn't mean its in Cyrodil it can take place directly after the story.

[Chad Holloway]

Best scandinavians are ofcourse the Swedes
Anyway, I agree that would be very unlikely reason for going to Denmark, considering their landscape is VASTLY different from the rest of Scandinavia. I mean, it's flat..

[Mel E]

Just because he said a direct sequel doesn't mean its in Cyrodil it can take place directly after the story.

Everyone seems up in arms whether TESV is a sequel. Remember, that the two books are being written to set up the next Elder Scrolls.

[Monika]

Hmmm, I don't know if we will in The Infernal City 2, but since we haven't heard anything from Skyrim, High Rock and Hammerfell in the novel, it could still be a 'direct sequel' to Oblivion, showing what happened in those provinces after the fall of the Septim Empire.

[Richard]

Whoever it was on here who got in touch with Greg Keyes about a month or so ago should email him again and see where he's at with the second book...

I think i should be offended by this

That would be me, though I don't want to pester him more than I have to.

[Stephanie Nieves]

what i dont get about this story. if he was sitting behind him on a plane how was he shown papers from the guy? did he do some sneaky peeking and look at them or did he confront the guy after the flight and how is there an NDA if he over heard it? was the google translate use of the word "behind" literally mean that the guy was right in front of him or does it mean that the guy who leaked it contacted eurogamer and the word "behind" is used meaning the guy planned to leak these details?

He probably did the polite thing and disclosed to the man that he had over heard what he had said and asked what parts he could use for a news story and thus the rumor was born.

[Jason Wolf]

The Bethesda staff are probably kinda pissed off that they cant tell anyone about thier game either.

Ya know alot of these fake "I overheard two guys at a bar talking about..." stories turning up lately, that tell us absultely nothing about the game.
