1,120 pages for the Regular Skyrim Guidebook is a bald face lie. The Collector's edition has only 656 pages when I checked my Copy of it. the Dragon age 2 collector's edition guidebook is only 290 pages.

Now if you are talking about the Guidebook for the Legendary version of Skyrim,that is 1,120 pages. But it also has to cover all the DLCs that came out for Skyrim. That is all the enemies,NPCs,Items and areas.

 

 

@ Knightstar: My apologies. I had no intention of doing so. You are correct. The Legendary version, which does have the DLCs,  has 1,120 pages. Unknowingly, I was using that as a basis, and that is not a true apples to apples comparision. Thanks for letting us know the page count of the original book as released.

Getting the hardcover for the bonus stuff and just to have it really. I've never bought a guide for a game before but I suppose it will give me something physical to read rather than spending time on the wiki.

Personally I hate when guides, either book or internet, do this.  It can temper someone away from a skill and give them an opinion of it before they actually try that out

 

It depends on the game though. If you have an easy way to respec and test the skills, then I agree with you, but if you don't then it's good info. It's been numerous times that I though a skill combination would work out well in theory, but turned out that I couldn't use the skills together, or they didn't interact well. The tooltip can't cover everything.

 

Plus there are other details that need data mining. Like for example in D20 system (say Kotor 2), a skill that looks a good idea for a low magic character, turns out to be bad because the save counters the effect. Someone may tell you that "if it passes the roll it's good". But what is the check. Unless you have a list to compare then you can't really know.

 

DAO has skill trees. Blizzard sounds like an awesome spell, but it's pretty much crap for a mixed party cause it lasts forever. It's good to know if it is worth it to waste 3 points to unlock Blizzard. You can't know something like that by just reading the tooltip.

 

If you like the skill for roleplay then no harm in getting it I guess, even if the guide disagrees, but I doubt that someone reads a gameplay guide to roleplay.

Once I found the internet, everything changed: 

 

 

TV became obsolete.

 

Radio became obsolete.

 

Prima's guides became obsolete. 

 

Physical copies of games became obsolete, and much more.
