You don't like Elder Scrolls as much as this guy
Oh, so you think you like Elder Scrolls? Think you're a fan, huh? Well take a look at what this guy did and then get back to me.
Reddit user and superfan "notadoctoreither" has printed and bound every piece of in-game text from Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and it's expansions into one, giant volume. He says the enormous 950-page edition cost him over $130 in materials including leather for binding, parchment paper and "ribbons and bits" for ornamentation. He says he started the project 3 years ago, but that it's hard to put a timestamp on how long it actually took to complete.
If you want a copy of the volume for yourself, he's uploaded the complete OpenOffice doc here for your enjoyment. His bound version, however, is not so readily available.
Even if notadoctoreither did hope to sell the book, it brings up the interesting question of copyright infringement and whether Bethesda would be down with the not-doctor's pet project; especially given their recent lawsuit track record.
Check out the pictures below for yourselves:


Pretty impressive, no?

It'd be the best thing ever if Bethesda printed this....

Now that would be something kinda cool to come up with...

If he's doing this, then who's watching the president?

This is equal parts obsession and total pure epic win... It looks quite authentic as well, nice font and paper, leather bound. IMO the elder scrolls logo on the cover looks a bit erm... off? He should have scorched it in, would have looked a lot better.

Really Really Badass

Will Bethesda sue this guy as well?
It's nice though. Wise I had me a copy.

They probably wont sue if there is no profit to sue over. Posting everything on the web is as free as a spoiler alert of a movie. But to have that book would be awesome.

I was just making fun of the Law suit they have against the crater of Mindcraft.
