It pisses me off that elderscrolls.com is down. I REALLY WANT TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO IT!

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 11:56 am

Yes

Anybody else got any opinions on this?

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 5:57 pm

This is awesome news. Bring it on! XD

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 1:17 pm

You're a lore buff. Any thoughts on the dialogue from the trailer?

I'll have an examination thread up in about half an hour.

We got a date! We don't even have to wait one year!

I nearly had a hear attack, my eyes were wide, my mouth was open. I was blown away!

I associated the cloaked guys with Dark Brotherhood members, and guess what? It was Elder Scrolls!

Well, if they were clever they could still steer this into a good direction, if it's really the god of "creation and destruction" it could involve serious decisions, leading the world into either chaos or recreation, beginning a new era, the serious struggle of what is right and wrong to do...

Or they just go the cheap way and say "Kill it" and done...

And honestly after seeing that 99% of all solutions in TES are "kill it" I don't have high hopes.

Alright, So I want to maybe contribute something useful. I couldn't read the last 7 pages of just excited, so if ya'll already have this sorry. The name sounded like Novakim (probably not spelled that way) and that's what alot of the chanting was, and I also made out dragon born as part of the chanting too. If we have a recording of the guys when they first come out, I'm not sure what they were chanting then. I just have the trailer to watch repeatedly.

That was such an epic teaser. Got me so pumped up.

I want to hug everyone at Bethesda...

I want to hug everyone from the speculation thread...

I've got to hug something... but I'm in my college's computer lab and I don't think they'd like me hugging their monitors :cryvaultboy:

Respect, Antibody, and everyone else who helped out in the speculation thread. From #1 all the way to #88.

:wub:

Same. I've been sitting here refreshing it for like 30 minutes...

Thank you everyone on the speculation thread. I might not have posted on here much, but I shared all of the hopes and disappointments with you anyway. I would give all of you a hug.

I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!! I've followed the speculation thread foreverrrr, and the day has finally come! :foodndrink:

The Theme in the trailer was a mix of Morrowind and Oblivion :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh:

And it's amazing. :clap: The music alone gives me hope this won't be Oblivion 2: Electric Boogaloo: now with 150% more snow and wolves.

Dialogue from the trailer:

"You should have acted.
They’re already here.
The Elder Scrolls told of their return.
Their defeat was merely a delay.
Though the time after Oblivion opened, then the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood.
But no one wanted to believe; believe they even existed.
And when the truth finally dawns, it dawns in fire.
But, there’s one they fear, in their tongue, is (incomprehensible), Dragon Born."

What could all of this mean? Who could "they" be?

My guess would be Akavir, since they invaded once and were stopped at pale pass, and the Tsaesci were known to have "eaten" all the dragons, which might be why it shows a dragon returning. I do also believe, in lore, that the leader of the Ka po tun succeeded in becoming a dragon.

Dragon born is also Talos, so I think the guiding divinity in the next one might be him. we'll see!

I've always wanted to help start some of this off:

"TES V is a casual, dumbed-down action game that ruined lore, lololololxxxxxxxxxxxxzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm just joking, but we all know it's coming. <_<

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:29 am

Is there any chance at all that this is a hoax?
Does anyone have a video of Todd Howard saying it?

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 1:31 pm

Hell yea! It is about time!

I was putting a resident to bed at work and turned the TV on to spike at the exact moment the monk guys were coming out... I got chills and knew that it had to be TES:V and what do you know Todd came out and announced it! I was flailing my arms about silently while the old man watched in wonder lol. It was worth it.

respect to Antibody, Stain, Syltstryder, Very evil dude for keeping us all together

and the mods too :foodndrink: :foodndrink:

Evil Dude is just fine, and yes yes thanks to everybody T_T

I'm exuberant.

Words fail me. Life... seems new and beautiful to me because I know one year from know I will be getting the "HOLY BALLS EDITION" of TESV. Seriously. Whatever edition I buy is going to be [censored] hardcoe.

Manly tears and joy. Now, everything seems possible. Because I know I have to play TESV. I can do everything I need to to reach that goal.

» Mon Sep 20, 2010 9:24 am

Just realised that it comes out on my boyfriend's birthday... dammit. He'll understand if I ignore him, right?

And I second (third, whatever) the kudos for the regulars that kept things ticking over and gave us lurkers stuff to read and kept us entertained.

Mass Effect 3 was also announced. TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!

Not a chance at all actually.

Watched it live on TV, its REAL!!! :celebration:

That sounds great. Do you have any idea what he says before "Dragon Born"? I assume it's some sort of ancient Nordic or something.

Edit: Just noticed uesp has Novak'leen.
