Nope.

Struck me more that he was looking for brownie points for getting the game before everybody else.

Two points: 1) Isn't the cover art for Elder Scrolls: Arena something along the lines of 20 years old? There must be something more important to say about Skyrim than that. 2) I don't care what it looks like, it certainly beats the non-look of the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion "cover art."...
