We have nine months till release. If Bethesda was to give us all the information about Skyrim now and answered every little detail we ask or talk about, that would be a bad PR move. As fans and consumers, the tactic is to grab our attention within the first three months of the announcement of Skyrim, make sure we're hooked around the time the release date is nearer, and bring in the catch for 11/11/11.
If we got everything we wanted now, our enthusiasm for the game would slowly wane as we'd get bored and anxious of the waiting. At least, mine would if I got everything right now.
