It would appear that they are releasing a short film every day up to its release, just to keep us straining on the leash. The mirror sites are all linked to from the Elder Scrolls downloads page.

The one for 5 days shows some fighting scenes rather than just movement and scenery, and it looks fantastic.

Damn, I really need a new CPU.

*Almost wishes he hadn't bought the massive chair, thereby having £100 less with which he can upgrade his computer*

*Bounces on new chair*

*Forgets CPU*

Hehe, good chairs are worthy upgrades too.

I'm hoping that these will allow me to run the game on at least half-prettiness:
Athlon 64 3000+
2 GB Dual-Channel RAM
Geforce 6600 GT 128MB

Think my GFX is the current weak-point in my system, but a faster CPU would be nice too.

Makes me glad I spent all that money on my setup to start with but I'm only just over the recommended specs.

BTW: There's an 8 page review on PC Gamer this month, I can post some scans tomorrow if anyone is interested?
