The Infernal City is about an evil floating city

Sold! All else sweet icing on the cake. And it sounds sweet indeed. Too bad no one does video game book/comic book reviews around here. I'd probably be more inclined to buy 'em. I only read the Halo series which was great but went South after #2. the comics were good though although didn't really do much but make me wish we got a game about being a civilan surviving the attack on Mombasa. Still waitin' on that.

:O

Preordered.

I've read some videogame fiction (Mass Effect, Diablo) and honestly they've all been just as fun as the game they were based on. In this case, though... That might not be a good thing.

I kid. Anything that will get people reading is a good thing.

Finally, one of the few game series that could actually support a line of novels.

Hell 90% of the Elder Scroll series story is setting, it's so incredibly rich you could make a novel out of all the short stories themselves. I mean how many of you knew the Ministry of Truth was actually the lost 3rd Moon that was stopped from crashing into the planet because the demi-god Vivec asked nicely not to destroy his city?! And the fact that the moons themselves are sentient entities themselves!

Hell we haven't ever set one foot or even looked upon the other continents that have their own races like Akavir. And we've only visited 4 out of the 16 planar worlds: The Deadlands (Oblivion traditional), Madhouse (Shivering Isles), Attribution's Share and the Pits.

I'm surprised Bethesda hasn't gone all out with the Elder Scrolls and done table top, pen & paper and lore books.

I'd be down for a tabletop Elder Scrolls game.

damn, i thought it was a new game or at least some more DLC :(

I'll be buying. I love Elder Scrolls stuff, and this looks excellent.

Well they need to have this as DLC for Oblivion!!! One question though, If water is falling off the floating island... how does it keep coming, with no source from said floating island?

I can dig it. Can't wait for the next game though... If there is one.

Yeah, when's the Elder Scrolls V gonna be announced? Books are nice, games are better.

Is this the first book in the Oblivion world? Interesting..

Looks more like a floating village. There's only about 15 buildings up there. But then, if the "battle" of Kvatch is anything to go by, that'll be more than enough for all the guards of Tamriel.

With all of the lore in their games, they could make their own series of books pretty easily.

Maybe one of the Burch siblings can write us some fan-fic on the Elder Scroll 'verse!

My heart literally skipped a beat when I first glimpsed the headline, thinking about the release of a new Elder Scrolls, then reality hit when I noticed the date and realized it was a novel.

I'm working my way through book 4 of Ice and Fire right now, and I'm not sure if it would be wise to follow George R. R. Martin with this (that man is a hard act to follow), but in time I may pick it up. Maybe it'll make the wait for TESV a little less painful.

Keyes is a hack.

This is SO going to be the next ES game setting.

Tamriel is like the bastard child of almost every campaign setting of D&D. And it's a rather good thing. As much as I don't find it that interesting, I can deffinitely see the motivation of whoever does.

Son of a bitch, got my hopes up thinking this was a new game. Bad Jim! Bad!

GooN, I think a good explanation for that would be, uhh...magic? That's usually a safe bet.

Fuck yes I will be buying this!!

I'm pretty sure we would all rather be playing this instead of reading it.

This is the part where you fall down and read to death!

damn, i thought it was a new game or at least some more DLC :(

Me too

Sounds like a pretty good book...

Not to be a kill-joy, but way to steal an idea from the Dragonlance world.

Dalaran after being taken over by the Litch King?
