Given: The release date for Skyrim is on 11/11/11, which is eleven months away from the time primary trailer. Of further note but not necessarily related to the trailer, Armistice Day is on 11/11, and commemorated at 11:00.

Or it could be that the number 1 is a motif, given that there is "There's one they fear / In their tongue, he's Dovahkiin: Dragon Born!" Thus, the use of the number 11 is really emphasizing the number 1.

While I am at it, what famous dragons do you think might be involved? I'm thinking maybe Alduin and Ysmer.

Discuss.

Bring on the tin foil hats!

All I expect is that there will be some update by the devs the 11th every month at the most.

Skyrim infos every 11 days?

So basically you are saying that if this were a party based game, with a party of up to 4 people, then that would mean its a motif and the trailer would say: there are FOUR they fear; then, the release date would be April 4 of 2044.

Please notice the sarcasm.

11 is an important number of great Significance. You'll find out that something important happened on a particular date or event and it will somehow equal the number 11.

A number 1 for each letter in Skyrim, this equating to 11/11/11 (HEY THATS A NEAT RELEASE DATE)

well I hope they won't decide to push the game on that date even if it isn't ready.

MM/DD/YYYY 'Cause I'm in the USA

• Little Big Planet 2 was supposed to be released on 1/1/11, but it was delayed.
  
• Uncharted 3 is releasing on 11/1/11
  
• Skyrim is releasing on 11/11/11.

It's a gimmick that a bunch of people are jumping onto.

How many times can you release a game on a year of all of the same number? Easy to remember, and trendy.

And those are just game series that I pay attention to, there are probably more.

11-11-11 is also 6 digits which is how many letters long Skyrim is. So you can make 11-11-11 become SKYRIM in a commercial or trailer. Although they could have used any MM/DD/YY combo for that, but they only have to make 1 trailer for all of the world this way. Instead of having to change 1-11-11 to 11-1-11 based on the country.

It's 1 louder (or better) than Oblivion.

EDIT: I see Rivendell beat me to it.
