5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful. November 11, 2011
Format:Hardcover
You could beat a dragon's skull in with this guide.

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Collectors Edition: Prima Official Game Guide is immaculate. Meticulously detailed maps, thorough, well-written quest guides both comprehensive and clear, and every item, vendor, and trainer location in the game have been sewn in to this masterfully rendered tome.

The details of what comes with this guide are on the page, so an in-depth analysis would be both tedious and unnecessary.

I have owned the guides for most of my RPGs including Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas as well as Mass Effect, Mass Effect II, Fable II and Fable III. This one is the best out of them all.

This guide took 2000 hours for Prima to complete, and it shows. If you want the most out of this game, if you want explore every nook and cranny, this guide is the perfect companion.

For those of you who might be worried, this hard-cover guide is made to last. A Harry Potter book probably isn't as tough-looking as this.

My only complaint, and this is an infinitesimally small one, is that the physical map that comes with the guide is connected to the guide itself (which is typical of almost every guide I have ever owned) and must be torn out. This very often (at least for yours truly) results in the edges of the map being torn. However, Prima makes up for this issue raises the bar of game guides by including a code to an online interactive map which may be accessed from any computer.

This is a beautiful, well-written, long-lasting and vast guide that is perfect for a game vast enough to call for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a game this big you need the even bigger guide. November 11, 2011
Format:Paperback
When it comes to an RPG game, you know that it'll be massive. So much so that some of those games will require you to get the strategy guide because with a game as big as Skyrim, you need the guide to help you get around this massive world. So I went to my local Gamestop and was the first customer of the day and was also the first to purchase this huge almost 700 page guide. And it's huge and helpful.

What you will find in this guide is everything you ever wanted to know about the game: Every major quest and side quests. Tips on beating the enemies, all locations for the goodies. All magic potions and spells. A map poster, Every inn, every guild, every side game. I could mention everything but it's best to let you the reader be surprised on your own.

All I can say is that with The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim walk through, playing the game will be a breeze because you'll never get stuck and you'll be able to know how to beat a dragon or a tough guy through this book.

Enjoy the world of Skyrim and happy reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE GUIDE TO RULE THEM ALL! November 11, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just got my Skyrim Collector's Guide this morning delivered by ONTRAC. Thanks Amazon! WOW: this guide is HUGE. It comes sealed in plastic and has the Free Access to the Interactive World Map Code inside. This is worth the price alone, imho. The interactive world map is awesome if you truly want to discover everything there is in Skyrim. The guide itself is beautifully illustrated and is a MONSTER of valuable info. This is a must-have purchase for any fan of The Elder Scrolls or serious collector. I will use this guide for playing the game with but I want to get another just for my collection and leave it untouched and displayed. BLOWN AWAY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much Needed
It would be mind boggling to try and navigate through the game without this book. Not to mention that once you decide to beat it solo, the replay value is much greater.

I enjoy playing skyrim. I have played through the game at least twice now. Each time I create a new character, and I have used the book to get the most out of the game.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guide is huge!
This guide is huge, very comprehensive, and obsolete. They rereleased it with DLC information so buy that, not this if you have them.

A very good guide to use in Skyrim PC play. While some of the play advice was not accurate, these would only be quibbles for me and not subject to any deductions. Read more

Question about the Atlas of Skyrim
It's the way the guide organizes its reference lists. Starting with Solitude as a beginning point simply for listing purposes (p. 417), under "Services":

1-3 weeks shipping?
I was wondering the same thing, i just bought this guide and i chose "1 business day" as the delivery option but the estimated delivery date they gave me, in my email, was between December 7-14. I hope it doesn't take that long....

what the heck is wrong with shipping for this thing?
The delivery date on this guide has always been Monday or later. It never was release date because the publisher didn't supply Amazon until later.
