Longest 9 months of my life haha..The funny thing is, that's the shortest time I've ever seen between the release and actually being able to buy the game.

@ anon: Oblivion was released in 2006...Bethesda immediately got a small team to work on Skyrim after that. Over time, after Fallout 3 was released, Bethesda focused more and more of their time on TES V, until it was their top priority like it is today. They've been working on it for a solid 5 years now, and from what I've seen, they're doing a damn fine job on it.
