» Sun May 09, 2010 4:01 am The February Game Informer Cover Thread VIII
Please, everyone, keep this discussion on topic. If someone flames you then ignore it, don't reply to them, and report it if you feel the need to. We have already seen this innocent thread closed and I hope it wont happen again. Just don't troll, flame, start off topic discussion or post one liners and we will all get along fine without any warnings or suspensions. - Mankar
The Skyrim cover will be revealed on January 6th 2011
"And yeah, once people read this, heads will explode." - Andy McNamara, Editor-In-Chief of Game Informer
When responding to a question asking how the game looks:
As most of us know the February issue of the Game Informer magazine will feature 14 whole pages of Skyrim information/pictures/awesomeness.
The prestigious cover of the mag will also belong to Skyrim!
This thread is for thoughtful discussion and speculation of the topic and what we think will be revealed. Once the cover has been revealed we can keep all discussions to this series of threads so the mods don't have to spend all their time redirecting people's rants about how the cover is "zomg cool". Once the Mag is shipped to subscribers we can post small bits of information to share with other forum members who don't subscribe to GI.

Fortunately Todd Howard has already stated that "when we show it, we want to show a lot, because there's a lot of game there to play right now." http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-08-16-todd-howard-working-on-two-new-games
Here is the link to the Game Informer article on the matter: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/12/13/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-coming-next-issue.aspx
Here is the link to the Bethesda Podcast in which Todd Howard touches on the subject: http://www.bethblog.com/podcast/

"They saw a lot [Game Informer visited the office of Bethesda last week] and I think, I hope, everybody is surprised with how much stuff were showing. It's... it's a lot. We wanted to sorta compress the amount of time that we talked about the game. It's still eleven months, it's a long time, but traditionally we're going on like two years talking about a game, so we start out very slow and we wanted to come out of the gate with a lot of... A lot of STUFF. So I think the fans will be excited." - Todd Howard
"And wait until you see what this game is all about! Mind...blown..." - Andrew Reiner
"Our Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim coverage has expanded from 12 pages to 14, making it our largest game-based cover story." - Andrew Reiner http://twitter.com/#!/Andrew_Reiner
If anyone has any other information then post it here and I will add it to the first post.

I hope Mankar doesn't mind but since he was not online I took the liberty of creating thread VII and now thread VIII.
People, I know you are excited but lets keep the "omg i'm excited" and "when will it be revealed" posts to a minimum. We are all excited and a answer you 99% of your questions will be found most likely a every few posts in the last thread.
Thankyou
