[Details Leaked] Everything We Know About Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim So Far

The game is set 200 years after Oblivion's end. This new environment is called Skyrim. It's north of the Imperial City, and in that bitterly cold habitat where the Nords live. Gamers will get to tackle the god of the dragons, his kin, and the usual assortment of common pissed off wildlife creatures like the were-yeti. Your character himself (or herself) is a dragon-born dragon hunter living in a world of civil war between people who like the Empire and people who don't. That sort of thing usually comes about when kings die. The game will take place in five massive cities, and more than just two variations of caves like the previous iterations contained.

What’s in Your Christmas Haul?

For some of you, Christmas started five or six hours earlier than you wanted it to because of your siblings making noise to wake the house up. For others, you are relaxing after consuming too much turkey. But it’s okay, it’s Christmas. Santa was fat, right?

For me, I’m currently surveying my horde of items after I decimated these Christmas-themed bags -- yeah, wrapping paper doesn’t exist here as I accidentally choked on some last year... Mountains of clothes and gift cards surround my seat, and my only lament is that I can’t use that plastic currency until stores are open tomorrow. But it was a grand pull-in. What did you guys and gals get? You can include stuff you bought yourself. Don’t act like you didn’t grab a few things for yourself during all that shopping!
