Hello, this is going to be my first post on these forums, :). I have been wanting to ask some questions but have never went out of my way to do so. I was curious if one is allowed to post playthroughs of the games included in this series onto Youtube. I have wanted to start playthroughs for a while now and I have my mind set on the new title coming out, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could help me, it would mean a lot. These are some of my questions:

1. If I were to post a full playthrough of the game, would Bethesda be against it?
2. Do they allow people to record any type of game play and post it online?
3. Does it matter if the video is with or without commentary from the poster?
4. If one were a Youtube partner and made revenue from the recordings, would it still be allowed?

I greatly appreciate your time in reading and answering these questions of mine. I apologize if you find any of these questions worthless but it has been on my mind for a while.

I think you'd be better off PMing one of the community managers (http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/user/365941-gstaff/ or http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/user/589080-nick-breckon/) directly.
