Bethesda has published over 20 minutes of gameplay from its upcoming RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The gameplay demo, which is split into three parts, shows off footage that was previously shown at E3, QuakeCon and most recently at PAX Prime in Seattle.

The footage was initially supposed to be released last week when it was inexplicably delayed to this Monday. It has certainly been well worth the wait.

The gameplay footage contains everything from character development and a look at the game's all new inventory interface, to adventure in the game's wooded and icy locations, where the player does battle against a wide variety of foes while armed with an interesting assortment of weapons both magical and mundane.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is set for a November 11 release this year on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, and is currently listed as the most highly anticipated title of the year.
