Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's Map Is an Eye Full

CLICK TO ENLARGE

I know plenty of you are very excited for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Let's talk about it. So, dinosaur people? Yes or no? Cowardly Lion? Maybe on my second playthrough... What's that?

Oh yes, that IS Skyrim's map. Look at its hills, its rivers, its... tiny, tiny icons. Revealed by way of some Russian thing or another (RUSSIAN! HA!), Bethesda handed out copies of the map to event-goers so that they could promptly go home and share it with the rest of the world.

The cold war really is over! Sorry about my whole anti-Russian's crack.... I... didn't mean it. Thank you, really. Thanks for the map.

    Same here. Can't wait... but I might wait for the inevitable "Game of the Year" edition with all the DLC.

    ...already paid for. If the local Den of Evil is doing a midnight release (I really need to remember to call them to find out), I'll probably be taking the eleventh off to get a solid three day start on the game.

    Also, huge map is huge. It's going to take forever to explore that place.

    You can bet that they will. Midnight releases definitely have a positive effect on sales of things like strategy guides and accessories.

    You Vvardenfell or Solstheim? Which both looked very similar to me.

    While I will admit, it's a nice map, what would make it even better would be one of those bar scale things showing that 1 inch = 5 miles or something. Or even something like a ratio scale, where a measurement of any distance is multiplied by 1000 or whatever. As it stands right now, there's no way of knowing if this is bigger than Daggerfall's realm or no larger than a bathroom floor.

    Yes, I'm a stickler for details like this.

    I'm curious to know what those faction symbols are. I'm sure you get to join/fight them throughout the game. I also can't wait to climb that big mountain that looks like it's called "Edge of the World".

    I also forgot to mention that I have first bet on a mod coming out that adds a parachute/skydiving mod for when you jump off mountains.

    All this map has done is made me realize how ****ing cool it would be to live in a world with names like Haafingar and Falkreath. Then again...Throat of the World? It'd suck to end up there and find out that mother nature does in fact swallow.
