It'd Be Pretty Rad If The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Didn't Look Like Shit.

That's at the time of writing anyway. How do we know? Bethesda's whacked up a handy little countdown clock on their website to help you keep track. 19 hours, 53 minutes and 39 seconds now by the way. Gah.

To be perfectly open and honest with you guys, we're not all that amped about Skyrim. It's the fantasy setting, it does very little for us. We're still intrigued though. Perhaps top of our curiosity list is the game engine and what Bethesda's done to improve it. Do NPC's still look like lumps of meat, for example? We certainly hope not. It has been, what, 3 years since Fallout 3?
