Are You Desperate Enough For Skyrim To Read Its Leaked Manual?

Achievement leaks? Those happen all the time. Screenshot leaks? Yep, we get those. Sometimes even videos. But leaks of a game's manual? That's reserved solely for games that fans are going crazy waiting for. Case in point: Skyrim.

Someone has posted an image gallery containing pictures of the inside and outside of a supposed leaked copy of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's game manual. We were sent a link to this gallery as a news tip (thanks, Chase!), so we're not really sure where it originated from, but the pictures definitely seem real and believable. Still, consider it rumor for the time being.

The text of manual contains everything from a description of how to cook to some lore from in-game texts. If you're obsessed enough to be poring over a game's manual prior to release, then this is all probably stuff you already know, but maybe it will help cool your burning desire for a night at least.

My only question: Does the person who posted these pictures have a copy of the actual game? And if so, how do we track him or her down to steal it post-haste?

I'm so desperate that I'd pore over a screenshot of the title screen of Skyrim. I just spent probably 2 hours poring over the map that they released. I can't freakin WAIT!

Down for emergency maintanance?!?! NOOOOOOOO!!!

I wonder how much of the emergency traffic was caused by this gallery...

Skyrim is that one game you would totally sneak an illegal demo copy for, then go and buy three copies of it when it comes out just because it demands it. If I find out someone already has a solid copy of the game though, I am going Oceans Eleven on that fool.

Desperate for this game? Definitely. Obsessed for this game? You betcha. Insane for this game? Quite Possibly.

Uh, yes please!

Q: How many are totally psyched for this game? A: All of us. Q: How many of us will nitpick everything about this game after it comes out? A: Almost 50% of us. Sad but true.

My Precious!!!! *smeagol voice* 33 + 1 Elder Scroll junkies got there fix just now.....thats 34 btw.
by mcpiesburntongues Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:02 PM

I'm gonna play all the numbered elder scrolls games and before Skyrim, and do a blog. I'm about 75% done with the first game.

little to hardcore for my taste, but still a fan.
by afrocommando23 Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:05 PM

I am so desperate I opened this in 27 tabs.

ONE MORE MONTH!!!!
by ZimmerRemmiz Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:09 PM

Call me desperate, because real or fake I'm reading this...
by Psychotope Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:11 PM

I am more than desperate enough Phil, in fact, I read it twice.
by Stonecutters908 Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:12 PM

It's weird. I am really really looking forward to Skyrim. I have it pre-ordered, paid in full and everything I've seen so far looks amazing. But yet, I don't find myself just lusting to play it as much as Battlefield 3 and Batman and honestly I am super stoked for Saints Row 3. I think it might have something to do with the style of game it is and that fact that we are still a month away but I can wait. No leaked manuals and achievements list for me thanks.

SITE CLOSED??!?!?!? NOSTAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! (dragon shout with shatter internet effect.)
by gohome64 Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:21 PM

I would totally read every single word of this thing. Actually, I'm going to right now. Good-bye.
by Amy Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:22 PM

I'm not desperate... I just happen to read the game manual before I play the game thats all so if its leaked then I can read it in advanced... I know. I'm only lying to myself...
by Zero Monday, October 10, 2011 at 10:32 PM

WOAH. A game with a manual!

You know, I just might. I... long for this game.

Like George Costanza.

I wonder if that makes it so you can vendor all junk while keeping tagged items you want to keep.

edit: nevermind.
