Preorder Skyrim, Get a Free ‘Premium Quality’ Map

By Nick Santangelo

Fears of having to learn how to ask "which way to the castle?" in Dragonese are now quelled.

Bethesda has got a nice little bonus in the works for every customer who preorders a copy of  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – a “premium quality” map of the game world.  The map will be made available in both North America and Europe, and will be made of “high-grade material that has a feel similar to burlap”.  Anyone who doesn’t preorder will be stuck with a primitive hand-drawn map that producer Todd Howard drunkenly scribbled onto a napkin crummy ol’ paper map.
