Friends, we're down to the wire here. I expect utter chaos to ensue over the next 24 hours. Before that happens, allow me to say a couple of things. First off, I want to thank each and every one of you for making my wait for Skyrim much more bearable than if I had to do it alone. At the risk of getting overly sappy, this forum has pretty much been my second family since the first announcement of Skyrim. I've learned so much more about TES lore and history, I've learned so much more about all the different platforms it's been developed for, I've learned all about the development of a video game from start to finish and everything in between, and most importantly, I've learned how far throughout the world the allure of TES truly reaches and I am utterly humbled by this. The internet has made our world such a tiny place if you really think about it.
Finally, if I was harsh, rude, insulting, or condescending to anyone during my time here (and I'm sure I was on many occasions!), please accept my heartfelt apologies and don't take it personally. Since we've gotten to know each other on a daily basis for several months now it's understandable that, like most brothers and sisters, we aren't always going to see eye to eye. At the end of the day, we all need to realize that we're all here because we want TES games to be the best open-world RPGs they can be and we want to help continue that tradition long into the future of the franchise.
My forum-ites, I salute you! Have a wondrous and magical time in Skyrim and I'll see you in 300 hours or so!

A virtual flagon of mead for all!
