Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

For those whom might not know what I'm talking about: The Elder Scrolls (by Bethesda Softworks) is an action RPG series started in 1994 with Arena. You play in the world of Nim on the continent of Tamriel. The series is both remarkable for its setting (9 provinces each with a distinctive story and topography. Also 9 races, but they're not spread one per province) and game play immersion (to quote the manual from the 2nd game, Daggerfall, the developers wanted to create a "book with blank pages" that a player fills out with their actions).

So imagine my surprise as I read through my RSS feeds this morning and come across this lovely trailer:
