I am wondering about the monks that entered the stage before Todd Howard did the announcement yesterday night. I can't recall them saying anything. If they were indeed silent, and the picture of a mountain served as a background, could that mean that they depicted the ancient http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Greybeards from High Hrothgar?

Did you see any beards? Crucial element. And no, that's not a rhetorical question. I didn't see the VGAs.

I could have sworn the monks were chanting, so that may rule them out

I think the chanting was part of the intro music, but they did not have beards.... so....

I have no idea. The monks were not the ones chanting though.

No, the stream was too blurry. They were walking around the stage, heads down, and there was a lot of smoke, and a mountain with a white top.

Were they not the monks who look after the Elder Scrolls? That's what I assumed.

I just uploaded a clearer version to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wfcXThGZl4. And no, no beards, not chanting (that's from the intro music).
If anything, I think they represent the moth priests.

But.... aren't the moth priests... blind? They didn't have blindfolds on....

I thought about the blindfolds. Perhaps you're right.

they could be greybeards it is more than likely, plus where does it say greybeards had to have beards
