WATCH > New 'Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' Trailer: Want It?

"The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" was hailed as one of the greatest free-roaming games of its time, but graphics were Jurassic in 2002. "Oblivion," its 2006 sequel, was a huge upgrade in the visuals department, but it sacrificed some of the freedom and immensity of the first game.

Now that Bethesda perfected the balance in "Fallout 3," its post-nuclear sister series, all eyes are on "Skyrim." The newest installment in the "Elder Scrolls" series has been hovering over the gaming community, patiently awaiting its November 11 release date. Fans, of course, have been less patient.

Just a few days shy of its official release, Bethesda released a full two minute trailer for the game, complete with in-game footage, narrative, and showy cinematics. The aesthetic is right on -- a kind of "Lord of the Rings" meets Viking Age adventure -- and the graphics are as stunning as you'd expect from the makers of "Fallout 3."

Perhaps the biggest addition to the "Elder Scrolls" franchise will be the ability to fight dragons. Unfortunately, when IGN asked director Todd Howard if players would be able to ride dragons, he responded, "Not in the way you're asking." (He also said unicorns would be available as a $100 download. Grain of salt.)

    Who the hell would actually say no?Geez, true quality has to get ignored and passed over for the generic, by the numbers FPS's by at least some of the braindead jerkoffs out there, I guess.

    People in my school actually like this game, it's like fable, it's a nerd game, you can tell because it's called elder scrolls, I didn't know people actually like games that weren't first person shooters. I am a nerd.

    saved a few months too...out of work 4 yrs...always time to relax...by next summer you can get it half price...they changed the lockpick to another more realistic type with two lockpicks inserted to make it work...the morrowind type quest settings are redundant...The Quests to visit every town until they are all destoyed by dragons seems to be the theme. The more realistic trees and shrubbery makes it almost impossible to find the hidden monsters or enemies nearby. Their is no screen brightening controls in game...the visual controls are set on dim and hard to see
    So...you see im not addicted to the game...played a few hrs...not rushing to finish even though if i finish the game i get 30 dollars back from game stop...that should have given me a heads up

    Games don't have to have a multiplayer option to be good. Look at the Legend of Zelda games!

    I don't think he is really serious ;) you don't buy game torrents, A torrent is an illegal way to obtain a game (unless you own the game and need it as back up install)

    I think he was saying "don't buy this game, torrent it" but he just forgot how to use commas. :)
    But judging by his picture, he probably is a troll! Haha

    I have no idea what this is but I'd be willing to play this and give it my undivided attention until I can become a mindless video game playing zombie. This looks so amazingly epic without even trying!!!

    The trailer isn't the best, but the game will be awesome. I just know it! Oblivion rocked and so will this. The trailer reminded me of dragon age a bit.

    However, like New Vegas, I'm not interested in the DRM they are using... So I'll sit this one out. I cried when I found out about it. Same with D3. :(
