This is definitely troublesome. An NDA should be strictly enforced as usual but some people can't help themselves and will post information freely. The leaks are going to come, so you have to try to ignore them and chose to not read.

if the finished product is full of bugs, i shudder to think how mind numbingly insane playing the buggy beta would be...especially if beth has testers jump 100 times in the same shallow bugged pool

The safest place if you still want to talk skyrim without spoilers is probably going to be right here. However there will be spoilers, they will probably be dealt with quickly. Just use your best judgement in not clicking thread titles that look like new information.

Oh come on. Spoilers happen. Some of us dont mind them, even.

If someone is allergic to them, I heartily recommand avoiding forums for a few months.
