Most people ignore the manuals that come with their games unless they have a spare minute on the bus home to idly flick through it. So why are we going a bit mental over the fact that someone's taken photos of the manual for Skyrim? Well, it tells us a lot about the game, that's why. Sure, you could ignore it, but then you'd miss out on the cool stuff that's been introduced to the latest in the
Elder Scrolls series. You wouldn't see that you can get thrown into prison if you're naughty! You'd be oblivious to the fact that you can get your lockpicking skills on and have to wiggle the sticks about a bit to get through doors! You won't know that there are horsies!
OK, so it's not immensely exciting, but it's giving us an advance look into what kind of stuff we can expect from
Skyrim. Whoever took all the pictures and threw them online will be in a crapload of trouble when they get found out but it's nice to be aware of what we can get up to. There'll be cooking, sneaking, bartering and pickpocketing aplenty when the game's finally released on November 11th. Excited? You should be.
Have a look at the pictures for yourself (before they get taken down)
