What's Happening

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?

  • JIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZ IN MY PANTS!!!!!!
  • In response to the question in the title of the article: most definitely.

  • No I'm not desperate, I just read the whole manual word for word. That's not desperate!                   *sarcasm intended I absolutely can't wait for it!!!!!!!!!!!*

  • I'm desperate to play it period.

  • Short answer, yes. Long answer, *** yes.

  • I like the new "brawl" dialogue option

  • yes yes iam

  • YES

  • Absof***inglutely!

  • Yes, I'm desperate enough.  Thank God this come out on Veterans Day.

  • I'm right behind you Phil, lets take this S.O.B. down!

  • Screw the manual...release the game already! There be dragons for me to vanquish!

  • I want this game soooo bad!

  • I love reading manuals! They also make great toilet reading xD
  • Mod

    I need this game. Guess i'll have to settle for the manual for now though...only 5 weeks to go. :)

  • I like the title of this article... like the answer 'yes' would be minority... something tells me this image gallery is being heavily poured over with tears at the moment.
  • 4 and half more weeks! Then my life will be nothing but Skyrim. The thing is i only played about 30 hours of Oblivion (i know i know), but easily put 600-700 hours on Fallout 3 (multiple playthroughs). Here's my question to you all fine people. What is a good way to get caught up on some of the lore of The Elder Scrolls series? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  • @ theshox: I like the way they smell (the manuals, not the toilet). = )
  • Yay Im glad I got this submitted, trust me it is real.

    The man who leaked it works at the printing place that is making the manual. They are supposed to throw out copies that are messed up or ripped, but the guy decided to pocket it and pot it online

  • Looks interesting, I like the new "brawl" option they added to the influence interface, I remember always wishing I could just use my 100 hand-to-hand skill to just smack the info I needed out of people and I recall there was a mission for the Fighter's Guild in Oblivion where you had to intimidate an enemy soldier you captured by punching him.

    I'm glad to see Bethesda is finally giving more love to the hand-to-hand skill in the game, can't wait for November 11th to come around.
