New Skyrim trailer looks pretty, sounds awesome

Video: Fancy some viking-style action in the cold wilds of the new Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim? This trailer's got you sorted.

Okay, first thing's first - while we do love (and I mean, LOVE) the new Skyrim trailer, Atomic feels it must provide an important service regarding horned helmets.

Yes, we know this is a fantasy game, so there's no need to waffle on about accuracy. We're not. It's about safety and practicality, people, and a horned helmet is a massive OHS issue waiting to happen. Whether those horns point down or up, they're dangerous, making it more likely that downward sword blow might catch your helmet and dangerously wrench your neck.

And neck injuries are bad.

What's more, those horns could get caught on underbrush, rigging, giant spider webs... anything! They're a hazard for all concerned, and Atomic would like to see them stamped out. Otherwise, ten out of ten, Bethesda. Tops trailer.

Skyrim is out November this year, for all major platforms.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in depth; Z-77 Motherboard round-up; strategy gaming special; Home Server tutorial. PLUS MUCH MORE - ON SALE NOW!

codecreeper Feb 25, 2011 5:17 PM	Kinda looks like dragon age in a way. Just hoping it has the same depth as Morrowind had in it.

Martyr Feb 25, 2011 9:42 PM	hmmm yeah video didn't work, so i visited the tube and this game looks brilliant. Everytime i hear that music it takes me back to Morrowind. Cannot wait!
xXJackXx Feb 25, 2011 10:49 PM	video worked fine here at home and at work. The stealth kill looked awesome. Can't wait to get my thief/assassin skills on in this game
Dany Williams Feb 26, 2011 1:15 AM	Already pre-ordered mine, can't wait, on the plus it will be out just after my phd studies finish, even cooler. Nesquick, have to agree with you there lots of awesomeness in the games department this year, problem is finding the time to play them all.

AnthraxPants Feb 27, 2011 10:48 PM	that is the day me and wifey get a divorce ...no wait, wrong game. When does BF3 get released? BOOM tish
W3r3Wu1F Apr 4, 2011 3:41 PM	TES4O Was frigging Stunning, probably THE best game i've ever played, the only thing wrong with it is i finished it, yes i got both expansions(seriously though, you need a wagon for all the crap you have to collect...). So I'm REALLY looking forward to TES5SR As for BF3, FPS's are getting so OLD for me, particularly the modern warfare kind(i am Totally looking forward to WH40K SPACE MARINE), i own BF2 and expansions, BFV, and BFBC2, thinking about getting BFBC2V, i LOVED BFV; Not sure if i give a shit about BF3, just another boring FPS( another frigging $90+ boring FPS at that).
