Im a douche for:
1. Not buying a game day one that will be buggy.
2. Not buying a game that will have about 10 DLC'c, each charged $.
3. Not buying a game that in 6-12 months will have a Game of the Year edition with all the patches, bug fixes and DLC's in one.
To me the above shows that I am smart, way fucking smart, for not buying day one.
Yes, that couldn't be more wrong. A quick google search shows that EVERY previous Elder Scrolls game has had a demo.

Does anyone really not know what they are getting with an Elder Scrolls game? I don't see a demo really being necessary.

Elder Scrolls games never get a demo.
Daggerfall had a demo. You got to play on one tiny island separated from the mainland.

I would bet that the Oblivion demo did a lot to bolster sales, especially among console gamers. Even though it was just the first tutorial dungeon, the visuals, story telling and gameplay were all impressive. They would only need to duplicate that success with a Skyrim demo.

Since the world is so "huge and complex", why is it that every Elder Scrolls game has been simpler and more "streamlined" then the one that preceded it?
Because it would take two decades for the Skyrim team to make a world the size of Daggerfall in the level of detail they work with.
Or they could just recycle the same dungeon map over and over and over as DA2 apparently did (I'm still baffled by this.)
