Skyrim Live Action Trailer Features Intense Staring and Plenty of Panicking

Skyrim looks like a bummer of a place to live. And that's before the dragon shows up.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

Less than a month away from its final release, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a new trailer out on the web. More sizzle than actual substance, this (surprisingly) live action trailer shows off a whole lot of very vacant looking townsfolk fleeing in terror before Mr. Protagonist shows up to stand around menacingly. Score one for atmosphere and tough dudes.
