This strategy guide is, without a shadow of a doubt, the thickest, the heaviest and the most detailed strategy guide the world has ever seen.
The original Skyrim guide was already massive with 656 pages of contents jam-packed with details on the papers only the scopes of games like Skyrim can fill. However, the new Legendary Collector's Edition Prima Official Game Guide has, get this, whopping 1120 pages of contents expanded accordingly to the addition of the newly added contents from 3 Official Add-ons Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn.
The book was delivered for free in very speedy one day by USPS (pre-order special) in the usual Amazon cardboard box.
Inside the box, this massive tome was thick, double shrink-wrapped with cardboard slightly bigger than the book itself, giving extra protection from any possible damage collectors would just scream from the top of their heads.
The Collector's Edition Guide comes with a free code for access to the bonus eGuide, fully interactive online guide that would normally cost $26, at Prima Games website and nice exclusive 24" panoramic poster showing the entirety of Alduin's Wall and signatures from the members of Bethesda Game Studios.
It also has hardcover bound and ribbon bookmarks to give you extra quality.
Otherwise the regular edition and the collector's edition are identical in the number of pages and contents, and both comes with a two-sided map of Skyrim.
While the quality of the paper used for the original guide was excellent, the quality of the new Legendary Edition Guide is slightly different, has even more glossy and smoother feel, more like Fallout 3 GotY Collector's Edition Guide than how the original collector's edition guide was.
This is one of those books where it is nice to own it in a hardback because it is massive! The pages are slightly thin (thankfully so because the book is huge!) but glossy and jam-packed with an insane amount of info on all things Skyrim. Someone mentioned the cover seemed cheap but it was what I had expected and to be honest, I could care less because its content will get you your money's worth and then some. It expands upon the previous edition to include the expansion packs that are included in the legendary edition which comes out soon or can be purchased online if you own the standard edition. It comes with:
-A giant pullout map of locations -- their place on the map and an index to the right so they can be found easily
-Poster with the "signatures" of everyone who worked on the game
-A card with a code so that you can access an interactive map online
-An attached ribbon to keep your place
The book itself Is filled with thousands of details and pictures which document every single aspect of the game in order to allow you to get the most out of each quest and build the best character for your play-style. Chapters are organized under the following headers:
-TRAINING: Covers character creation, skills per play style, perks, shouting, diseases, vampirism, lycanthropy, alchemy, smithing, enchanting and information about the world and how to interact with it: crime and punishment, horses, books etc. This list is not all-inclusive.
