When did you find out about Skyrim?

Post by Assassin540 »

The question is when and how did you guys find out about Skyrim?

I found out in January while looking up something for Oblivion when I stumbled upon the Skyrim video

Middle of February, I wondered about an elder scrolls V. I searched google and found out about skyrim. I waited about 2-3 weeks, and then I preordered it. In march haha.

I came on the forums and noticed a thread called Skyrim.
I absolutely nerded out and almost died from the happy. Now my days are moving really slowly and I think God Howard is a cruel man releasing the game so late.

During the summer. On these forums. And on Steam. And when my brother showed me the trailer.

During spike's vga show.

I actually predicted it. Before the show started i turned to my sister and said, "what do you want to bet Todd Howard is gonna announce a game tonight?"

i'm not exaggerating at all.

I KNEW skyrim would come out the very second that eurogamer article was posted. I made a big fuss about it in a thread here. But NOOOOOOO They all thought I was crazy!!! WELL WHOSE CRAZY NOW?!?!?!?!

I think I was actually the first person to make a thread here after the very first article of skyrim was released. I'll link it here if I can find it.

EDIT: Looked back into my posted thread history. I guess I didn't make a thread, but I know I posted it somewhere.

The very first mention of skyrim was from an article that eurogamer posted. The next time I am not lazy I will go back and find my post on it.

Oh it was the same night it was announced, BUT, I was unaware of anything at all. I used UESP as my news source at the time, so I would check it occasionally. I then saw news about how someone heard info of TES V by overhearing two Bethesda employees on a plane. Then when December 11 came, I was on YouTube watching ES related videos (Dont remember why) and I saw comments about Skyrim. I went on UESP for confirmation, went on YouTube to watch Todd announce it, went to the official site and watched the trailer...I was blown away!
