Just how many Xbox 360 discs will The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim fit on? One.

In a year that saw L.A. Noire span across three Xbox 360 discs, this fall's epic battle through the dragon-infested Northlands of Tamriel fits on a lone DVD.

The other disc in this image is the making-of DVD.

At PAX, Skyrim's Art director Matt Carofano confirmed to Ripten that the fifth Elder Scrolls game won't spill over onto a second disc.

In this day and age, when games installed on hard drives are proven to run faster, does the total number of discs still matter? How do you feel about multi-disc games?

If it's at a fixed point, ala FF7/8/9, it's fine. But the way Mass Effect 2 managed it seemed to piss me off. I'd be coasting along the galaxy, surveying, and then I'll want to land, and then it says "Please insert disc 2!" and I'm like... WTF?

I prefer fixed points as opposed to quest based disc switches.

It doesn't really bother me how many discs a game is on unless it's like seven or some other absurd number. Four is probably stretching it for me, and that was FFIX, but I don't mind two discs as is the usual case for the games I purchase.

Only issue I have is being too lazy to get up and change the disc ;p

The only game I have that required more than one disk was Mass Effect 2. I don't think I'd mind having more than one disk, two sounds like a good number to me. I really didn't care all that much that I had to swap disk's for ME2, but like Nero said the times that you would have to swap disks in ME2 was quite odd, didn't really like that all that much. Don't really have to be worried about being lazy as all my entertainment stuff is located next to each other in my room.

O.o FFIX had four disk's DAMN...prolly needed all that space for all those epicly expensive CGI cinematic scenes.
