Maybe it's only that stage, where you read and interpret signs the way you like... But Bethesda could have given us a big ole shiny screenshot, which would have pleased the most. Instead, they chose to go with simple logo + tidbit of info you have to decipher. Brains instead of flash.

I choose to take it as a good sign, for now.

I repeat the question: Do you know when will we see the info and scans? Thx!


If you don't have access to the physical magazine, I don't think you'll be able to see it (legally).

he (and everyone who is smart) know that the Logo idea will end up giving more sales to the magazine and probably more sales to Skyrim compared to concept art.

Info? Probably when the GI is out.
Scans? When the GI is out, but scans are not allowed here.

Asking for scans on this forum is a complete no - no.

There's a few generous people who said they would give us all the information while sticking to the rules, so i'd look out for that.

You won't be seeing scans here as they are against the forum rules due to copyright laws. The info will come to us here as paraphrased information. Direct quoting more than a couple of lines is also forbidden. I imagine we will have members who receive the mag in the next couple of days that will share with us what information they can. :)

Posting scans or copy and paste of the content will result in stern warnings and suspensions against your account. Please don't make me do that. :toughninja:

I like it, simple and stands out.

Daedric runes I'm guessing on the back, nice.

I was hoping for some cover to speculate on, but it still looks nice.

Nah, "dragon language" - something new. Not daedric. And there is speculation about the translation of the text. :)

Being disappointed in a cover is in no way saying the game is gonna be terrible. I'm just disappointed in GameInformer after seeing previous reveals to give us a logo, that is all. Now we have nothing to talk about except decrypting lyrics to a song and that is disappointing I was hoping for some kind of art at least a little bit of art not a logo.

Good luck getting info out of that guys.

If anyone has any other information then post it here and I will add it to the first post.


People keep asking when. Add the release dates, preferably in the topic description. Don't make me step on your toes and start the next thread for you.

So much pessimism towards the cover. I mean did you really expect something other than this? Did you expect a screenshot of the game or something?

My god. Just because the cover is underwhelming doesn't mean Skyrim isn't worth your time and that the devs played a trick on you. If anything, I like the cover. It's very simplistic, yet bold. And, as with everything Elder Scrolls related, it's very secretive, but contains a lot of information.

At least we'll finally be able to figure out what the chorus is saying in the theme from the trailer. And what the story is about. Most "glamorous" covers don't do that now, do they?


Agreed. It's minimalist and I like it. I wish more covers were like that, most that use in-game screens and character concepts are quite ugly to be honest. I want something artsy as a cover, something that serves a purpose other than informing which is all a screenshot does.

You can link anything that GameInformer puts up on their site. Not other sites with scans however if they exist.
