Let me get this straight...

Alduin is Nord for Akatosh. A creator/destroyer deity whose Earthly form is a giant dragon.

Akatosh, or Akatosh's power and form, is what Martin Septim used to defeat Mehrunes Dagon and light the Dragonfires in TESIV: Oblivion.

Now, as a result of civil war in Skyrim, Alduin is trying to cleanse the earth (or something like that) in order to create again... and we have to stop it.

If that's all the case, it's weird as hell but certainly AWESOME!



Edit: So it's basically Noah's Ark, retold. Right?

yeah the whole "kill everything and you have to stop it" story line
Noah's ark and even the mass effect trilogy play off this plotline, I find it one of the more interesting choices =)

... Okay, full in translating, but please clarify for latercomers.

The lyrics we tried to transcribe for like, ever... weren't even in bloody english in the first place ? :blink:

:lmao:

hence why we were TRANSLATING them

[Josh Dagreat]

That cover is...terrible.

agreed

[Horse gal smithe]

Translating this was a lot of fun, think the storyline is gonna be amazing.

Well my hunger for ES V Skyrim has been stilled.. for today.....

Off to bed

[Marion Geneste]

agreed

disagreed

[Philip Rua]

I just can't get over the fact that we thought the lyrics were english XD And to think I heard "For the sake of Skyrim" lol

Seriously, everyone speculating the lyrics just got burned (lol get it? dragons? burned? I crack me up :laugh:). But I'm actually glad it's in another language entirely. Makes it more interesting.

[Maria Garcia]

disagreed

[Sian Ennis]

Anyone feel like with this back cover, we've stumbled into an episode of Wheel of Fortune?

[Krista Belle Davis]

I mean then, when the trailer aired, not now. I remember people making countless threads trying to work out what they heard in stanzas of english. No wonder nobody ever agreed.

Phew, finished myself. Did it without cheating too *proud*. Fun stuff, Bethesda.

oh haha, tbh i only watched the trailer today, because my internet got renewed today.

It's not often I have fun with a game that hasn't been released yet Enjoyed the translating muchly - at first with the logo cover I was a mite disappointed (although it was what I expected), but the text made it a win in my book. Now we've got the screenshots on the hub to look forward to (or the actual mag, if you can get it).

No worries, my post was very unclear. God the devs must have laughed at those lyrics efforts then.

[Spooky Angel]

Sweet! I knew the song wasn't being sung in english :biggrin: Glad there are some really dedicated ES fans out there to translate this. The game already sounds epic...lets hope the it follows through!

[Laura Tempel]

We cant totaly be sure yet that there is going to be a civil war. but is suspect tension between solitude and winterhold as in the empire pocket book from oblivion collector edition

[Karine laverre]

These forums are an endless source of amusemant for them :laugh:

I think we can.

Oblivion - listen to people talk and you'll hear about this
Trailer - "When the sons of skyrim will spill their own blood"
Poem - "That when brothers wage war come unfurled"

i was more than a mite..i mean look at issue 11, with the resistance 3 concept art.. thats amazing!
then you take a look at the skyrim cover, and its just a black background with an emblem on it, which unbelievably, is the only concrete image we have yet!
(like seriously, the emblem and the title are the only images we have of skyrim..and they chose to put that one image on the cover offering zero insight into the game!)

When do people mention skyrim on the elder scrolls iv?

[Dale Johnson]

if there is a Civil War, I wonder if you can pick your own side like in FO:NV

What makes you think Bethesda didnt do that with that EXACT intention?

[Rebecca Clare Smith]

Go stand around a city, you'll hear people start talking about violence in Skyrim.

[ijohnnny]

they are a cruel bunch of people

[Chantel Hopkin]

Well I was Meh of the cover. Not worth the anicipation at all. So I guess this will be the actual cover of the game on the box then eh? Just reminds me of Oblivion.
Sort of not impressed. I was hoping it would distance it's self from TES IV and not be Oblivion 2.0. So far, I am getting a bit worried. Guess will be able to better
judge once we see the screens come in.

As opposed to Morrowid's triangle on a black background.
