Skyrim FAQ & Topic Guide (let's make one!)

[Overwatch]

Here's a pretty good guide of the Races of Skyrim, and one covering the armour, weapons, locales and beasts of Skyrim. Perhaps a link in the FAQ would be helpful?

Can those threads, if they haven't already, be copied here? It's a private forum, so anyone not registered there can't see the links.

I second this! I'm too lazy to register

Didn't even realise that the Skyrim Forum was inaccessible to non-users (we thought that they were). Chaos has already brought those two threads here (here and here), and I'll look into the privacy settings - Although signing up is pretty quick and easy guys .

Got this in Beths news letter today

Whilst it is short, its full of juicy info.

Skyrim features more than 70 voice actors, including many of your favorites from Hollywood. The ensemble cast features Academy Award nominees Christopher Plummer, Max Von Sydow, and Joan Allen.

Christopher Plummer, a two-time Emmy Award winner, two-time Tony Award winner and Academy Award nominee, takes on the role of Arngeir, a powerful Greybeard elder. An order of philosopher monks who are masters of the Way of the Voice, the Greybeards live in silent isolation atop Skyrim's largest mountain.

Academy Award nominee, Max Von Sydow, stars as Esbern, a chronicler and agent of the Blades who has survived in hiding. Long obsessed with the foretold return of the dragon Alduin, the World Eater, Esbern will teach you how to confront this epic evil.

Tony Award winner and three-time Academy Award nominee, Joan Allen, will be making her videogame debut as Delphine, one of the last remaining members of the Blades - an ancient warrior society once sworn to protect the Emperor. Like you, Delphine is trying to unravel the mystery of the dragons' return.

In addition, iconic actress and singer, Lynda Carter ("Wonder Woman"), voices Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, one of the Nord heroes who overthrew the dragons in ancient times.

Not only is that some great voice acting news, but it confirms that Esbern is not the last remaining Blade. The faction lives on it seems. That was a big question for quite a while.

Yes, you can see the two directions this may go in.
Either the blades get destroyed, or they find a new dragon born to follow and are revived.

I have not been too excited about Skyrim so far for several reasons, but little bits of news like that does excite me, its the detail thats important for me.

I will edit this post if I happen to find it again

Is this against the forum rules?

[Farlace]

Ah, Zaldir! Good man, worked his butt off to make that post over at the official forums.

I wouldn't think it is against forum rules, as I don't see why IMO.

Is this against the forum rules?

It doesn't contain:

- Leaked content
- Links to leaked content

It's just a page of compiled information as far as I can tell, just like this topic - seems totally fine to me
