Skyrim's Xbox 360 manual leaked

[Xuphor]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim hits stores next month on November 11, at which point you’ll be able to get your sweaty nerd-mitts onto it and love it like only you can. But an intrepid gamer has gone and somehow leaked the instruction manual for the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Within the pages of the manual, you can see all manner of witchcraft and wizardry…including instructions on how to cook things and riding horses. DEVILISHNESS!

The manual is extensive, reflective, it seems, of the deep and complex gameplay that Skyrim’s going to offer players. So, if you like reading manuals, you’re in for a “fun” afternoon. Personally, I like my RPGs with a little more dice and fewer buttons, but hey, we can’t all be perfect.

EDIT: Thanks Costello for confirming it's ok to post here.

I looked through it, it isnt the entire manual which seems weird to me.
But with only this seen Im excited for the game.

(I think it's OK to link that. the site you linked to is a regular website that doesnt offer illegal downloads so they're taking the risk, not us. besides their original source is Joystiq)

here is the real source of the pictures, on imgur

I kind of question this, the content seems to be the exact stuff we saw in the demo. Like screen caps printed to the manual. The text could be written by them, if someone wants to maybe spell check all of it to check for errors associated with fakes?

If they could leak the manual they should leak the game itself!

That doesn't proove it's fake. Don't forget Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for N64's box spelled Environments as "Enviroments".

I think it's real though, but since I fully intend to obtain the PC version that doesn't provide a manual, it doesn't make a big difference to me. I just thought you all would like to see this.

@Fudge - You can ask anyone that's worked in any store that carries video games, it's a lot easier to steal a manual than an actual game disk.

Huh so this game is going to be rated M, strange since it hasn't even been rated yet. Strange again since the last game was rated M because of the locked out nudity, I guess this game is going to be even more graphic than the last [which is totally fine by me]

Voila in one google search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=skyrim+rating In all seriousness though, one of the sources state that there is "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol" and that's why it has the mature rating.

OT: Seems legit to me, but what I usually say with rumors and leaks: you can only tell if it's real when it's released.

Leaked my ass. Yet another marketing ploy devised by the advertising department. Fucking viral advertising.

I'm glad o see a proper manual at least, too
Many games skimp on this nowadays.

The first picture made me go: is this a cooking game xD

I remember seeing this a little while ago. Some of the stuff in there sounds like it could be interesting, while others... not so much.

(Woodcutting and cooking? Seriously?)
