Yay! TES books are coming!

[Fyz]

Bethesda today announced that they'll be releasing two novels set in the Elder Scrolls universe.
Some synopsis:

The Infernal City is set after the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion®, the latest game in the video game series, and finds the citizens of Tamriel once again facing an uncertain future. Floating high above the land is a strange and mysterious city that is casting a horrifying shadow – wherever it falls, people die and rise again as undead. It is up to an unlikely duo – a seventeen-year-old girl named Annaig and the Emperor's young son, Prince Attrebus – to rescue the kingdom from doom. Annaig and Attrebus' quest will take them through the Elder Scrolls universe and their adventure is sure to add to the series' already magnificent mythology.

OMG, plottwist! There's a son alive after all!

As soon as I saw the thread title I was going to post this. Hey, fuck you man.

 

[Dire Roach]

Cool, this will fit in my bookshelf right next to the Halo and Mass Effect novels.

 

[JarlFrank]

Why didn't they start doing that during the Morrowind times? Back then those novels would probably have been good.

 

[Korgan]

Will you have to flip pages with a wheel?

It will come with an audio cd, narrated by Patrick Stewart. And the book will include three dimensional figures that arm themselves when you open the pages.

Shitty plot wists are horrible creatures, I avoid them whenever I can.

And other such sayings.

 

[Panthera]

Hell, I want them to do another Redguard comic book.

Fontsize 300 plz, so that consoletards can read it from their couch.

Daggerfall times would be better. Tits and penis were common words in some of the books. Interesting is that the same books in Morrowind were modified or had cuted out some of "bad" content.

I would have shown more enthusiasm were it not for oblivious.

 

[Pastel]

Okay this is worse than Dragon Age.
Well, if you want decent TES books you can always read the better in-game stuff.

 

[bat_boro]

So I guess the hype train for TES V is leaving the station any minute now

 

[DraQ]

Daggerfall had problem of being much more generic and much less cohesive. Not that I wouldn't want grittier, less censored world. Still, I can't help but admire MK for what he managed to push past the censors.

'The action of TES V takes place 10 years after the action of the 5-book cycle we released. If you wish to discover the background for the now completely different TES world please buy the novels.'

I hope someone suicide bombs Beth's headquarters before this has a chance to hit the shelves.

Now with 75% more blandness.

 

[BearBomber]

I've recently tried Stonekeep and becouse of that I've done some resarch. I've discovered that after relese of Stonekeep a book covering events between first and second game was written. Guess what. There was no Stonekeep 2. Mayby this is a good omen.

 

[Luzur]

ya know, i pm'd Darkunderlord about this some 4 hours ago after reading about it on ESF.

And by "completely different" they mean that they have given up on all attempts at trying to create something original themselves and have just decided to copy the fuck out of generic fantasy like they already did with Oblivion, right?

It sounded eerily reminiscent of DnD E4, in any case.
