An urgent matter : V - Skyrim

» Sat May 28, 2011 8:25 am

I'm cool with either. I slightly prefer SK, but I'll probably be writing out Skyrim most of the time, so I don't really care.

SR makes more sense, but it just doesn't look right.

I will be using SK.

Skyrim breaks up both of the words, and each consonant is quite distinct from the other - it pretty much represents the entire title of the game, whereas SK is kind of awkward to read.

I'll call it Skyrim. Just like I called TES IV Oblivion. :foodndrink:

"Skyrim"

It's already 2 syllables!

Skyrim, it is six letters. It is easy to understand without even thinking. Six letters, obvious, perfect.

TESV or Sk eventually, but i'm pretty happy typing Skyrim...

What will be weird is hearing people refer to Skyrim as a game rather than a place in a game.
Heh.

I vote SKY.

Someone needs to make a poll out of this!

We've been calling it TESV forever, so why stop now??

Finally after years of waiting and wishing, Bethesda has announced the next installment in the Elder Scrolls series. I haven't been in such high spirits in a long time, and many of you are the same - so begins a new age of relentless forum speculation and overanolyzing trailers. Just in time for the holidays, too. But there's just one issue which has left me ruminative:

How are we going to abbreviate Skyrim?
SK, SY, SR, SI (taken), SM (hot)

I call the continental Elder Scrolls naming summit to order! :celebration:

Ill just call it the hairy ugly guys game or hugg for short...god are nords ugly!

I use TES V or Skyrim.

But you are the ultimate decider Nick. You must choose!

I think merely calling it Skyrim is fine.

That is what I think I will do anyway. Because everyone will know which one I am speaking of without all the TESV:SK or TESV:SR. One less character to type and identifies it right away as to which TES I am talking about.

Arena - It's so badass it gets its full title

DF - Daggerfall

MW - Morrowind

OB - Oblivion

So following that general pattern, I support SkyRim, SR

:thumbsup: I support this...Oooor we could just call it TESV, ya' know?

Skyrim is such a long word.. Very hard to write out Skyrim. Ouch my fingers hurt from writing skyrim thrice in one post. However will we make the word shorter?

ESS -Elder Scrolls Skyrim

It still uses just two keys, just double-tap the last one... and it actually makes sense.

V

» Sat May 28, 2011 1:44 am

Skyrim.

Arena - It's so badass it gets its full title

DF - Daggerfall

MW - Morrowind

OB - Oblivion

So following that general pattern, I support SkyRim, SR

I fully endorse this statement.

I'll just be typing out Skyrim for a while.

Lets just let the modders decide when the game comes out and they make the script extender.

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:25 pm

Yeah, I go with TESV or Skyrim. Trying to give Skyrim a two character abbreviation seems silly, it's a short word.

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:04 am

V

For Vendetta?

» Sat May 28, 2011 5:42 am

SK is more obvious than SR

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:42 pm

Typing Skyrim for now....

» Sat May 28, 2011 9:09 am

SR definitely makes more sense, but SK seems to instantly identify with Skyrim to me for some reason, while I have to think about what SR is for a split second. So I don't know which to support or endorse.

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:27 pm

I think its best to just call it Skyrim.
