Fellow Elder Scrolliérs, a new game taking place within the magnificent "Elder Scrolls"-world has been announced!
In celebration of that, I thought it would be fun to host a give-away!
A winner will be randomly picked by the 31st of May, and announced later in a blogpost. I purchased the game my self, but am hosting the give-away on behalf of the whole TES-Wiki staff.
I accidentially, quite a while ago, purchased two copies of the game, and instead of giving the extra copy to one my close friends, I decide to give it to YOU for FREE!
The winner will receive a copy of the awesome game: "Orcs Must Die!" (A Steam user is nessecary in order to play)
The winner must have a Steam user because I will be sending the gift directly through Steam.
This give-away is free, and anyone above the age of 13 may enter!
All you have to do is write a comment below (with a Wikia account) saying what ever you want. For example:
One day I walked up to a stranger and said: "Oh, the potato is overcooking"

Matt Firor has spent twenty years in the game industry thinking about and creating online games. Once a leading voice at Mythic Entertainment and a producer on the beloved MMO Dark Age of Camelot, Firor left that studio and began the monumental task of taking The Elder Scrolls series online. With Oblivion as a rough starting point, there were years of head-scratching and team-building.

What’s going on here? In this image, you can see a couple player characters battling some Storm Atronachs. Storm Atronach are a species of daedra (divine creatures that come from magical dimensions) that are constructed from stone and held together by magic. The most powerful of all the atronachs, Storm Atronach are immune to normal weapons and shock attacks, are resistant to poisons, and can reflect spells back at their caster.
Is that all? Behind the battle is a series of daedric ruins. These great towers were built long ago by an ancient race of people, but they’re not the only landmarks players will discover throughout their journey. As players travel through Skyrim, Morrowind, Cyrodiil, and the rest of Tamriel they will encounter various dwarven ruins, ancient nordic tombs, decayed dwemer buildings, and many other ancient locales, some of which players may have discovered in previous Elder Scrolls games. http://www.gameinformer.com/games/the_elder_scrolls_online/b/pc/archive/2012…

The Imperial throne sits empty. The Dragonfires combed unlit. And from every corner darkness grows. Now ancient enemies ban together. Unlikely alliances are forged. Old ambitions rekindled. And as enemies raise faster then allies salvation can not come from one hero alone... but from many.

Guys its happening... The Elder Scrolls: Online is a multiplayer online role-playing game that was announced in May 2012. Developed by the team at Zenimax Online Studios, The Elder Scrolls Online merges the unmatched exploration of rich worlds that the franchise is known for with the scale and social aspects of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Players will discover an entirely new chapter of Elder Scrolls history in this ambitious world, set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm. The Elder Scrolls: Online will be set in province of Cyrodiil where a war has broken out.

The new update for Skyrim is now released. If you still haven't heard what it is, it gives kinect users voice commands in-game. I have kinect and the actually voice commands are really useful in-game. There are over 200+ commands for the new update. If you don't have kinect then you'll have to wait till an actual update comes out for more features. Skyrim Kinect Commands
Also, here's a link to the Skyrim page for the commands if you don't want the PDF file. ( Thanks Jimee )
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Kinect Integration
As described in the PDF file
" To further enchance your adventure, we've added more than 200 voice commands available to players using kinect. Learn how to harness the power of the Thu'um and other voice commands "
The best parts of the kinect feature ( for me at least ) is the quick save and quick load feature which was really only available for PC players and the inventory command which you can change the order of your items by price/weight/name. The list of commands are a…

According to The Elder Scrolls Facebook page, DLC information is said to be released tomorrow. Whether it may be due to the leak of the information on this page, no one can really know. But who cares! We finally get some hard facts!

So following the Pete Hines tweet, we have some interesting news about the possible DLC.
Bethesda Forum user Karellan used a utility to scan the Patch 1.5.26 update file for valid strings. Below are the files he found (taken straight from his post):
Basically it suggests that the DLC will include:
- Snow elves
- Snow Elf Prince (also see Fall of the Snow Prince)
- Crossbows
- New vampire feeding animations
- Something prefixed 'RF'
Snow elf stuff:

Bethesda's Pete Hines has suggested Skyrim lovers might finally hear more about the eagerly anticipated DLC next week.
"I am working on getting a little more info out on Skyrim/DLC," Hines posted on Twitter. "Maybe next week? We'll see. Also trying to confirm Kinect release date." We're not sure if this is the kind of leading "mayyyyyybe" we got accompanied by a cheeky smile when we asked our parents for a Super Nintendo for our birthday, or the sarcasm laden "huh, yeah, maybe" we got when we asked the rents if they were going to chip in and help out with Uni tuition fees. Either way we're at his mercy.
Though Bethesda's been cagey on DLC details, it's believed the new Skyrim content will include 'new quests, locations, features, and much more' and will be exclusive to the Xbox 360 initially.
Bethesda has officially confirmed it is working on introducing Kinect functionality for Skyrim. Earlier this month the Elder Scrolls studio said it should be arriving in the last week of April. For …

Just to let everyone know...
Skyrim Patch 1.5 has been officially released for Xbox 360 and PS3.
(Source: Bethblog Post)
This one has been quite a while coming. No word yet on what bugs it has fixed, yet.
There are reports (see comments below) that this update may cause some game-freezing issues when entering water.
~Timeoin
(Yes, I know, its a short update for you this time. I've been working a lot the past few days)

That's right, its time for another news update regarding recent developments.
Now, in the last blog, I wrote about the possibility of the first DLC being called Dawnguard. There's very little to update in this regard. But I will get to that later on.
Because, there is some much bigger news to share with you all, first.
But let me back up a bit. Now, some of you already know this, but Bethesda Softworks actually has an account on our wiki. This is not new news. They have had an account since August. (this one).
They even wrote a very detailed blog for us about the history of the elder scrolls series here.
A few weeks ago now, there was a lot of speculation about the possibility of there being a TES Online in the works. I am happy to be able to now confirm that this is actually going to be taking place.
What's more - Bethesda likes our community a lot.
They are impressed with the dedication to helping out that our community has shown over the past few months in particular, and to the series in …

Update 2: Update 1.5 is now official out for PC only. Consoles are still waiting for approval by Microsoft and Sony. Update:
On March 26, 2012, Bethesda released a new Skyrim beta update, version 1.5.26, that introduces the following fixes:BUG FIXES
- Fixed issue with frequency of first person kill cameras
- Underwater effects now display properly
- Fixed crash when loading certain plugins
- Fixed issue where sun would not appear properly after fast travel
The Skyrim 1.5 Beta update is now out. There is no info yet on when the console will be out but, it likely the PC version should be out first. Bethesda has also provided us ( thank you Bethesda ) a video showcasing the 1.5 update. It showcases brand new kill cams involving magic, range and brand new melee kill cams! Here's the some of the info and video. ENJOY!
From the memes to the mods to the amazing stories that continue to be told, we’ve been blown away by the continued community support for Skyrim. All of it has driven us to make the game even…

Bethesda has revealed (accidentally, it seems) a new feature coming to Skyrim via update 1.5. Their blog was updated with a post revealing a new kill-cam mechanic. However, that post has now been removed.
Skyrim’s cinematic kill-cam feature was said to now be included in ranged and magic attacks. Does this ring a bell? This is one of the features that appeared in the “Skyrim Game Jam” video that Todd Howard showed off not
too long ago. The video contained various mechanics and features that the devs played around with, but none of them ever made it into the final product.
With Bethesda’s focus slowly moving away from fixing bugs and general stability, it looks like they can shift their attention to bringing gamers more content to enhance the overall experience while journeying through Skyrim. Since the original post regarding update 1.5 was removed rather quickly, it was obviously posted by mistake.
However, the unintentional reveal of this information means we aren’t too far from an offi…

Here's a quick blog about Future DLC's and possible free content included with patches.
Bethesda: Skyrim DLC Will Feel More Like Expansion Packs We've been promised substantial downloadable content for last year's blockbuster Skyrim, but it sounds like Bethesda is thinking really big.
"For Fallout 3 we did five DLCs," Howard told me during an interview last week at the DICE Summit. "That was a very aggressive path for us. Our plan now is to take more time, to have more meat on them [for Skyrim]. They'll feel closer to an expansion pack." Some of Fallout 3's expansions, such as Operation Anchorage were slender, linear mission sequences that lasted a few hours, but others, such as Point Lookout were entire new regions filled with quests.
It does sound like there will be fewer than five of these expansion-pack additions to Skyrim.
"With Fallout 3, it was, 'Ten dollars is the sweet spot for us and we know we want to put out five of them. And we had overlapping teams. We were coming off Fallou…

It seems that the developers at Bethesda were given a week in which they could create anything they wanted in skyrim and they play their creations. Such creations include dragon mounts, spears, kill animations for magic and bows, mounted combat, being able to build your own house and adoption. There is some speculation that some of this may be released in future DLC but this is unclear at this time.

Finally! The Skyrim 1.4 patch has come out today for the xbox 360. I don't know if it has been released worldwide, but it has been released for the xbox 360 in The Netherlands.
If your game doesn't update right now, I'm sure it'll come later today.
Now stop reading this blog post and go enjoy completing that Blood on the Ice quest and finishing your Thieves Guild questline! (like me ^^).
If you want to see what it all fixes, check the page Patches (Skyrim).
Update:To prevent people keep asking this question: yes this patch is also released for the PS3.
And well, this patch didn't screw anything up for me, i guess i'm lucky (looking at the comments). Blood on the Ice started normal and i don't have extra game freezes or lag.

It's finally here! The Elder Scrolls Creation Kit, a tool which allows players to develop their very own Skyrim modifications, has finally been released. You can download the Kit from Steam by going to the "Tools" menu on the "Games" tab and choosing the "Creation Kit". Steam also added Skyrim to their Steam Workshop, which provides an easy interface for modders and players to upload and download mods. If you're a first-time modder, or you just need to brush up your skills, be sure to check out Bethesda's YouTube channel for tutorial videos!
Bethesda also promised us a nice surprise to make this great day even better. And a nice surprise it is: a high resolution texture pack! Now you can experience Skyrim with... well, even better graphics!
And there's even more! Bethesda teamed up with Valve and released their very own "Space Sphere" mod, which adds a robot from Portal 2 which follows you around through the game. The mod has since been removed from Workshop, but we expect it to be back…

Bethesda have updated the information regarding this, and have offered up a cool video showing us the features that it has.
Go check it out! (Link: here)
Well, a lot of it is the same as in the Construction Sets of Morrowind and Oblivion, so experienced modders wont feel out of their depth.
For new modders, they've also got some online support. (As will we).
Some new stuff though:
- Scene Editor: For editting the complex interactions between characters.
- Dialogue Views:
- Dynamic, Real Time Shadows -> for object placement (something that was a lot harder to view and find in previous games).

UPDATE: Bethesda has announced (on twitter ) that they WILL be adressing the PS3 lag issue in 1.4
Source
With Patch 1.3 for Skyrim almost two weeks old now we thought it was about time that we saw how Bethesda were progressing with the next one. We can now tell you that it will just be a small update for Skyrim 1.4 patch, but it’s about quality not quantity here. We should expect to see this go live in January, and from what we are told things are going very well indeed.
The developer had hoped to have the issue for the PS3 resolved by now, but we all know that this was not the case. Although we should give the team the benefit of the doubt here, it’s a little hard to be forgiving when you have put a lot of hours into a game that just acts a little like freeze frame on an old VHS. Thankfully Bethesda have listened to the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim users and now know what they need to fix the problem, we just hope they can deliver, as things could turn ugly quick if not. However, they do say…

Hello people, Elchzard here, with a new series of News blogs, keeping you in touch with the goings on "behind the scenes" at the wiki every week.
First of all are coloured usernames for certain special people!

We've also started re-organizing all our templates and categories this week, and this'll continue for a while. For any disruption caused by any of this, please accept our apologies.
Another new thing bought in recently is the Patroller initiative, which you saw mentioned above. Patrollers receive rollback rights, so they can revert vandalism with one click. We'll be looking out for more prospective Patrollers over the next few weeks too!
We've also had not one, but two Requests for Adminship this week! Make sure you go and vote on these two wonderful users, jgjake2 - who's responsible for those fancy overlays you're seeing everywhere - and Deyv…

UPDATE: Heres an article saying of how long it will take to complely fix Skyrim. Heres the LINK
Also some more info on Ps3 taken from Bethblog
Updated 12/6: While the 1.2 update fixed the long-term play issues for most PS3 users, we are aware that is not the case for some. We’ve been reaching out to a number of those users to collect save games, so we can take a look at their specific issues. Right now we know it’s not one thing, but a combination of smaller ones that some folks are seeing, but others are not. Some seem to be the PS3 autosaving in the background (you can turn that off), some may be SPU AI updates, and some may relate to dynamic system memory allocation. These fixes are not in the current 1.3 update that is in final testing, but will be in future ones. We understand how frustrating it can be when your game is having issues, and we thank all of you for your continued feedback and patience. Rest as…

Well....apparently the patch broke more than they fixed but do not worry my Skyrim fans for Bethesda plans to make ANOTHER patch next week.
After this week's patch for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim caused a whole new slate of issues for players, Bethesda says it is readying another patch for release next week.
The new patch is described as an "incremental update" and is expected to hit on PC first, followed by Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 later in the week. A full list of fixes and changes was not revealed, just that it'll take two care of two of the more noteworthy problems caused by updating to 1.2: magic resistances not working properly and dragons sometimes flying backwards, as seen in the video below.
Following the patch's release, more incremental updates and larger title updates will continue to be released on all platforms. "We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few," reads today's Bethesda Blog post outlining what the company is working on. PC is likely to see these more freq…

Bethesda has released a new update for the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which stops the use of third-party patches that change the executable file.
If you update your copy of Skyrim you will be unable to use third party patches that change the executable file in order to improve graphics and performance etc, such as one patch that allows the game to use more than 2GB of RAM in order to run more performance demanding mods. The update also forces all versions of the game to use Steam in order to prevent piracy so people can no longer circumnavigate the service.

"I didn’t know if this was posted yet on tumblr, so I thought I’d do it. The landmass of almost all of the provinces in Tamriel, has been put into Skyrim. All which are inaccessible(without console commands) and which serve absolutely no purpose in the game. Why are they there? I personally don’t know. But take a look at the effort Bethesta put into these seemingly pointless landmasses.
