The February Game Informer Cover Thread XII

Post » Fri May 14, 2010 5:24 pm

The text isn't Daedric, if you assume the first two words are Dovahkinn repeated then you can try to take the letters and form other words.

Like so...

Not really making much sense "DVN" obviously isn't a word.

Ideas?


The "runes" might represent a full sound and not a letter.

Yeah I really would like to know when the people who can't get the GI magazine will get to see info and screens.

Or are the 14 pages of Skyrim stuff going to be put on the internet?

... how does repeatedly doing exactly the same thing month after month and saying explicitly it should be available near the 10th as usual qualify it as a secret?


Well I beg your pardon but i don't follow GameInformer's release schedule nor have I been able to find anything on their site eluding to such a date for newsstand release. Is it so hard for them to just put this sht in print in the relevant news article on their site?

I think I can confirm the second letter to be an O.

In this text, a two-letter-palindrome appears. The only english palindrome that is common and only has two letters I can think of would be on / no. Which includes an O, which looks the same as the second letter. If true, we'd also know what an N is.

If you want to get banned then be my guest.


But seriously, don't go around telling people that you are going to steal some pages out of a magazine. That's illegal.


Actually,

it is not illegal to go around and tell people that you are going to steal some pages out of a magazine. But, it is illegal to actually steal some pages out of a magazine.

You guys don't understand. This issue is so big, you don't even need an amazing cover. It looks like something that would be in the game. Like a book.


You bet it's big, for such a nothing-revealing cover...

Or the fifth: the rise of a new Empire.

Well, then why include a fourth, if nothing ever happens in it (except that ******* **** Infernal city, which I dislike as canon.)

So, is GI.com going to post anything else before the magazine is on shelves?

Because a giant floating city appears in it and Vvardenfell blows up, like it or not, as well as anything from book two.

EDIT: And yeah, they are also posting stuff later today, and if the older hubs are indication there'll be plenty of little things.

Awesome cover! So simple and elegant :)

Much better than some CGI of something that you'll never see in the real game ;)

Those Draconic (?) runes on the back are great too. So far we've only had Dwemer and Daedric runes to decipher. Always cool to see a new ancient language; it makes the world so much older and adds a lot to the depth of the gameworld in my opinion :thumbsup:

They really don't want to show us anything until the 14th eh? :D

Good strategy, I'm sure.

I'm surprised there aren't more people disappointed with the cover. I don't know if anybody had seen past covers such as Halo Reach and for Skyrim we get a screenshot of Skyrims website.


My same thoughts. Actually, when the GI editor tweeted that the cover would be the logo on a black background most people thought he was bluffing or misdirecting people for a more dramatic reveal... as it turns out, he was quite literally describing the cover pretty much as it is. Lame. Loved last month cover on Tomb Raider, a concept shot that actually gives the reader an idea of the visual design the developers are going for, and makes me want to find out more because am genuinely intrigued, instead of the whole yes, we have new info, but we aren't showing you anything unless you come over and buy the magazine.

Does the Deadric Alphabet help at all?

Not really, no... Nor does the dwemer alphabet or any other elder scrolls lore alphabet I recognize... but then again I'm a newbie when it comes to tes lore..

There are international Gamestop stores in several countries, links are on their main website. Speaking of which, is it possible to order a single issue from one of them? I wonder...

Hey Lady, if I want to read something, I will read it on an existing language.

Anyway, I bet it's an Akaviri language, and that the main quest is about an Akaviri invasion. I also made a thread about my http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1153970-main-quest-akaviri-invasion/


Woot predict the obvious...
