Here’s a first look at the cover of the December issue of PC Gamer. Look for it on newsstands!
And after the break, check out more Elder Scrolls news…
Elder Scrolls in the news…

All races revealed? We already know them… :S
Unless… O: Falmers?!?!?1
They aren’t going to add another playable race. The Falmer have already been confirmed to be in game, but as a goblin-like enemy. Magazines and shows often hype themselves up as being full of exclusive info when, often times, their info is old news for those who really keep up with it. They may have more information for each race, like their resistances and skills, but no…. no new races are playable.

Falmers are confired, but not as playable race.
Age of the internet… the print magazines are usually behind on the news unfortunately if you’re following a game’s coverage online…
When do they release their “December issue”?
Also: There better be a merchant mudcrab, somewhere on a rock near the northern shore of Skyrim.
Or we can forget the reference, Petter, and just pretend that Morrowind and Oblivion didn’t happpen and turn what was a very good RPG series into an action game when Morrowind came out. Oblivion just made it a little worse but the damage was done with Morrowind. Then again Bethesda got major dollars by selling out from PC and Xbox gamers then again with oblivion.
Oh well. Skyrim at the least gets some Daggerfall inspirations and mechanics back.
They will release it on the 7th of October… maybe
none of the skyrim games that i have played have been all that great. cause i have played the first one and it wasn’t all that great so i thought i would just trade it in for an even better game. one that didn’t suck.
The series is called Elder Scrolls, not Skyrim. The newest upcoming installment is what’s named Skyrim – Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
@DC: Pete Hines has already confirmed the Falmer, not as a player race specifically. My guess is as either an npc race or creature race
I came across a mudcrab once. Filty little creatures.
The new Dragonborn image on the front cover hints at novel mentioning inside the magazine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the design on his shoulder pad and belt buckles before either. Wonder what they mean.
Also that mudcrab! Just one of other things that makes Skyrim an Elder Scrolls game, to differenitate it from its Nordic feel.
And I’m a PC Gamer (for most games anyway)…. This mag is a buy!
Presumably that picture is shot from the back of a Dragon, what with it being Bird’s Eye View and him shouting at us like a ruder.
(Also woo Borderlands 2)
Only a two monthish wait!
Show us a video of the gameplay and we will make up our own minds, show us a review and the smart players will ignore it because we all know what professional reviews are worth these days.
Eg Nothing…..
I do not trust professional reviews any more. Metacritics is full of high scoring game reviews by professional reviewers, scoring bad games much higher than they deserve.
And along side them are the user reviews that give the same games much much lower score, which reveals how far away from the truth the professionals are these days.
So show us new videos of game play, do not waste our time with reviews we do not trust.
This isn’t a review story. It’s a hands-on preview that PC Gamer put together.
You’re late to the party aren’t you?
There’s nearly 30 minutes of gameplay footage that was released just a few days ago.
You shouldn’t trust videos either. A game is to be played, not watched.
Maybe you should stop trying to evaluate games with numbers.
Find a website who publishes reviews that ALIGN WITH YOUR OWN OPINIONS. Bullocks to what the score is.
Reviews aren’t a competition, it’s about trying to inform the customer (that’s you) whether or not they should buy the game. So find a reviewer who gives you sound advice and listen to them.
There is no definitive way to determine the quality of a creative endeavour; there is no correct answer to the question “is a game good”.
@giskard I don’t see any reviews here, so I’m not quite sure what you’re moaning about.
Umm, is that statement “all races revealed” just PC Gamer screwing up their cover, or them hoping people didn’t see the race pictures you guys published weeks ago?
they are probably detailing the racial abilities and advantages of each race.
mmmmmmmmmm, mud crabs
MUD CRABS! I hope they attack enemy’s still. I liked how the AI would fight each other, and then turn on me
By the way I’m a PS3 owner, And I would really like to see the game, or any info about how the dev team has been able to make it run as good or better then the 360? As I fear that its being left to the side
I have ordered the CE of the game I want a equal product please.
I own both a gaming PC and a PS3 and have played both Fallout 3 and Oblivion on both.
I don’t know about Skyrim but in the past Bethesda’s games are best on PC, okay on 360 and acceptable on PS3.
Remember to save often because you should expect freezing (not the temperature kind) and crashing. Possibly some lag.
oblivion froze a few times on the 360 as well. but remember many bugs were caused by engine problems and an excessive amount of ambition for a 360 launch title.
PS3 version is looking great… just had a look at it the other day.
Mud crabs hehe oh that brings back memories. Just as long as they are not the subject of every small talk around Skyrim
It says races. Not playable races. I think it’s just full of new monsters.
New monsters!? How horrifying and curious! Ooo those lads at Pc Gamers are tricky devils! And i thought i was going to see some sexy female Bosmers.
Hmm, wonder if this will have PC screens. Have we seen PC-specific content yet? I seem to recall that most of what they’ve shown us has been specifically 360-based.
I would be excited to finally have some PC-specific content in the coverage.
Insanity of Sheogorath! Its the PC Gamer SKYRIM GIANT book of SECRETS! Which everyone knows! AGGHHH!!!
Nice cover shot full of emotional stimuli. Thank you for the thrill
Have you seen the legal documents that notch posted? Are you really paying your lawyers unimaginable amounts of money to spend their entire time just compiling documents that consist entirely of screenshots of websites/wikipedia/oblivion? Any normal person could have thrown that together in a couple of hours.
Enjoy the continuing bad publicity guys.
(p.s. I notice not even PC Gamer mentions “scrolls” on their front cover… scared you’ll sue them too perhaps?)
@Shayne O’Neill Read up on Mojangs patent app trying to take complete control of the word scrolls if the patent went thru bethsada wouldn’t be able to release skyrim
Zenimax are protecting their property. It wouldn’t be a problem if Mojang wasn’t trying to TRADEMARK the word scrolls.
I saw a clip of a dragon attacking a town online this morning. I think it was newly released, at least it was the first time i saw it. It was awesome!
