It will come out 11/11/11. They won't miss that.

No, it's releasing on 11.11.11, no need to worry.

Gone "gold" refers to the game being final and ready for print. They held the main quest speed run contest at BGS this week which signifies it's about to go gold. Nothing short of an act of god is going to usurp the planned release date. It's pretty well set in stone.

Bethesda usually does not finalize the release date until a couple of months before it will come out. This time they told us the release date almost a year ago (it seems that long ago but my sense of time is skewed now that I am an old fart). So, I don't see them missing this date. Besides, they would have to wait a hundred years to have such a cool release date again. No, 12-12-12 is not a cool release date........

Any guesses on the size of the release night patch?

150 MB, give or take. That's my guess.

Pete Hines on numerous occasions said that it's solid. Just today he tweeted "Little over a month away. Can't believe it's almost finally here. It's been a long road..."

11/11/11 If it were any later I'd crawl into a hole and just cry.

Also 12-12-12 is supposedly the end of the world.. Only the biggest trolls would release the most epic of games on the day of the apocalypse. :foodndrink:
I know I totally would.. But that's me.

Actually it's supposed to be 12-21-12. That date comes from the Mian calendar but oddly enough the Mians never documented any predictions that the world would end at that time. The world ending scenario actually comes from other cultures and people are trying to put two and two together. Been going on for a millennium or more and after 2012 passes there will be a new doomsday theory to take it's place. The universe WILL crush us eventually but nobody has the slightest clue when it's going to be.
