Bethsda has released another video in its World of Skyrim series, and this one takes a behind-the-scenes look into the creation of the world and characters in the game. The world looks absolutely gorgeous, and it’s nice to hear more varied character voices than what was present in Oblivion – something the developers admittedly fixed this time out. Three more days, kiddos. Just three more days. Thanks, RonT.
