Elder Scrolls has been highly anticipated by nerds and lesser nerds alike, as it demarcates a revolutionary new chapter of role-playing and storytelling never before seen in the gaming universe.  ZeniMax director Matt Firor explained, “We have been working hard to create an online world in which players will be able to experience the epic Elder Scrolls universe with their friends, something fans have long said they wanted.” Players of Elder Scrolls will be able to remain socially connected while playing – allowing them to invite friends to existing gaming marathons via Twitter and Facebook.  The intense lifelike graphics, incredibly vast size and detailing of the universe, and intricate faction and character stories have all been lauded by anticipatory fans who got a sneak peek of the game through ZeniMax’s six-minute trailer.  O, you haz dezire to rewatch right now?
