    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Game » consists of 30 releases. Released Nov 11, 2011

    The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.

    Will it have GFWL achievements?

    I doubt it. A bunch of games have been ditching GFWL for Steamworks, so hopefully they'll do that.

    I was going to say that it'll probably have Steamworks because it's a multi-platform game, but then again Fallout 3 had GFWL achievements, so...

    I don't know!

    As someone stated earlier, New Vegas switched to Steamworks, so I'm gonna bet the same for Skyrim. That said, Obsidian did New Vegas so there is a slim chance Bethesda might go back to GFWL, but I doubt it.

    If Skyrim has GFWL, I'm not buying it for PC. After experiencing it with Dirt 2, Fallout 3 and Bioshock 2, I never want to see that interface ever again.

    God I fucking hope not! I just hope it either has Steam Works, or nothing. GFWL is not worth it, EVER. 
    Modding will be fucked if it has GFWL : Example Fallout 3 had GFWL and most mods disabled it. 
    But then again no Skyrim Script Extender if it is steam, so I honestly hope none.

    @SmashedControllers: The boxart I've seen just had Games for Windows. GFW != GFWL

    And on topic, I hope this game doesn't use GFWL at all. It sucks normally, but it sucks extra for singleplayer games where it doesn't make any sense.

    @reddin: If it says GFW on it then it just means it has 360 controller support, not achievements. I'm expecting it to have Steamworks.

    i would love me some achievements but i bet they'll be steam achievements which mean nothing to me >.> 
     
    but then again, you pretty much cant have mods if you have GFWL.

    A hope it does, as long as its totally optional to use it like in Fallout 3.

    I like my cool options optional so that people that hate them stop whining.
