Agreed

Personally I'm glad they have kept to tradition.

Me too. With the emphasis they've placed on dragons in advertising the game, I half expected (rather feared) they would use something a little more colorful and dare I say "mainstream". The classic look is nice.

What is that dragon thing? it is all over the imperal city. and its on morrowinds box i think.

It's the symbol of the Empire.

this is what pretty much everyone expected it to look like. still pretty, though. do you think the words along the edges are the "dovahkiin dovahkiin" bit or the "alduin bane of kings" bit?

i wonder what the collector's edition will be housed in. i'm hoping something suitably classy and leather.

I think it's the symbol of the Empire (with Akatosh) if I'm not mistaking.

Nice and simple I like it

also the dragon writings all along the border look very nice.
kinda reminds the daedric ones on the morrowind box

That's very nice. Simple but nice. It looks like a cool, old tome.... damn, I know it's just a cover but it's cool.

This in leather would be sooo great!

Here's a hotlinked version in much bigger resolution: http://lggaming.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/skryim-boxart.jpg

Perhaps this can be added as a link to the OP instead.

What is that TINY triangle thing above the Empire-dragon logo?
I've never seen that before!

I heard of some triangle thing that was built at E3, perhaps that was it? Just random ideas here that I'm throwing out, sorry if it's already obvious to anyone what it is.

Like it!

Exactly as it should be

The minimalist design radiates class and taste.

I love it.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:59 pm

ok all covers are basically same

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:00 pm

Looks like a TES should look like

Nice and simple, yet effective. It's so unique so you do get interested of it. No need for flashy box arts like other companies!

This man speaks the truth!

You guys think that RP will turn into an M or a T?

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:57 pm

Nice. Glad it's not just a black background. Hope the logo and emblem stick out a bit, like with GTA IV. A slipcase would be sweet, too!

First person who reads what the border scrawl says gets a fishystick!

it's pretty much guaranteed to be an M, based on everything we've seen so far. there's like 300% more blood in every frame in Skyrim than in Oblivion, and i'm sure there's probably a nipble texture too.

Todd said in a podcast with gameinformer that they would go with the rating that would feel the best for Skyrim, saying that is would be likely that it will have an M rating.

Exactly what I wanted. And it'll match my Oblivion GOTY edition.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 1:43 pm

No surprise here
I like it

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 6:13 am

Ah, it looks like its just going to be the chant we already know. First two words: Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin,

I'm a little crestfallen... :sadvaultboy:

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:44 pm

I'm glad they gave it the look of an old tome. I kinda imagined they would make it look like the Game Informer cover (or the current elderscrolls.com style) - all black and just the logo and the title in the middle.
The broken leather, the runes on the sides and all those small added details make it look very beautiful.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I hope they keep the simple style with the Collectors Edition.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:48 pm

Looks exactly as expected.

» Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:21 pm

Nice and simple, just the way I like it. There's no need for unnecessary details, the way it is is just perfect.
