I'm hoping they'll provide the manual at release

Agreed. Hoping for a solid PDF at least... But, that will never ever replace the smell of a fresh-cracked RPG Player's Manual. Ever.

Does Oblivion have a player's manual link in Steam, or was it in a folder? Can't recall.

Can anyone answer this question?

Where can we read the manual if we bought this game via steam?
Is it not online somewhere already at an official website or something?

Searches only return results about a "leaked" version rather then something official now that the game is out.

Just checked, no manual link in Steam Oblivion. I'm in scotland, so my Skyrim isn't unlocked for another two hours from now, but there's no manual option so far.

Yeah, was pretty disappointed by the manual, it was only about the controls and interface. I was hoping to read about all the races and other features.. bah. ._.

Where was this manual you had?
Did you get the steam download or buy a box?

I'm one of those A.R. types that can't stand to do something until i have read the manual from cove to cover 1st.
No one gets to tell me RTFM ever.

SO Bethesda...got a link to the pdf some where for us...please.

I pre-ordered my copy and it came with a manual, has about 20 pages but they're all similar pages but in different languages.

yea the manual is a pamflet not worth reading unless your very new to the genre or are bored while waiting for it to unlock

Still no manual here
