Any Idea how the collectors edition for skyrim should be?

Post by Carlos »

I was wondering what would be nice for a collectors edition for skyrim....Any Ideas? :?:

A full copy of our favourite treatise on the exploitation of an innocent and hard-working argonian maid?

It's a tricky one, as all the stuff I'd love to see would probably be illegal to bundle with the game, such as the Umbra sword…
But I would actually quite like a stack of expanded mini-books from the game, though it seems unlikely since it wouldn't have much cool factor, but one or two might be nice, along with an elder scroll and a full-game map printed on proper map-canvas.

Maybe a glass spirit stone?

On the digital side some exclusive unique (but non-integral) quests could be good fun, to tell little stories in Skyrim that others don't get to see.

See, I doubt that any of the features will be exclusive to the collector's edition. Things like that are bad for marketing apparently :|

What I would love to see:
A properly printed copy of a book. The Real Barenziah for instance.

This is by far what I would most like to see as part of a collectors edition. It is unique and relevant to Skyrim and its lore. :)

A paper map is a must.

A new edition of the pocket guide to the Empire.

And this.

Something like the septim coin from the Oblivion collector's edition would be nice too. I've still got mine around here somewhere.

A dragon's tooth inscribed with some dragon runes perhaps? With a hole so you could wear it as a pendant if you like.

If it's in a box, then maybe a Varla Stone?

No they were Ayleid...dunno if they're in skyrim....

A small book revealing more lore. That would be wonderful. ^_^
If they did something like the Halo Reach Legendary Edition, that would be highly awesome.

A shiny box of course! But also a little Keychain with a dragon on it and an art book full of sketches and pictures of the towns and races in the game.

I'd enjoy a copy of Mixed Unit Tactics. Or a thousand dollar version that has a warhammer and chainmail.

Or a live kitten.

In the Oblivion CE, it contained a lore related book and a little replica of a Septim for you to hold on to... I seem to have lost mine though. :(
I'm not sure about Morrowind...

I think, that considering on how HIGHLY anticipated this game is, that they should maybe add a lot of objects for collectors. C:
Such as, well maybe several posters of several different things?
I would love to have a medium to small size poster of every single race.
And some other things of course.
Regards.

I still have my pocket guide and coin from Oblivion's, but more on topic: a map and pocket guide are probably a given, maybe the trinket will be a small replica of Aldiun's wall (or maybe in coin-ish form)

Well, here's my realistic wishlist:
  • The game (omg, this was supposed to be realistic)
  • A good-looking CE box. I don't like those huge lunchboxes (Fallout CEs, AcB CE) Something like FF XIII's box would be alright.
  • A map of skyrim
  • A small book with game art
  • A Skyrim poster
  • Dragon language alphabet- poster.
  • DLC?
  • Behind the scenes- DVD. Maybe it could have all the stuff GI gave us, plus more.
  • That coin.
  • The pocket guide

As a must it should include a piece of lore and a 'making of', as well as a special box and of-course the game (with manual and map too :wink:). Other stuff would be nice too, but those are the essentials.

Didn't a map come with the regular versions of Morrowind and Oblivion? If so, it's probably a given that a map will be included but not as a special item that comes with the collectors edition.

If they follow the trend of other games' special editions a statue of a dragon could be possible.

I just thought. How about a Golden Dragon Claw like the one featured in the preview quest?
