I just reached $500 CV and 50 gifts sent! [Updated with answers!]

I know it's not a big deal, but still, time for giveaways!

Skyrim - Open 2 days, no CV
Postal 2 - 3 copies, open 2 days, no CV
Fez - Open 2 days, no CV
CS: Condition Zero - 2 copies, open 2 days, no CV
Fortix - Open for roughly a day and a half, no CV

This is all I could afford at the moment.
Good luck to everyone who enters :)

Answers:
1) A Silt Strider/Silt Strider
2) The Boots of Blinding Speed/Boots of Blinding Speed
3) Orc
4) Mudcrab/Mudcrab Merchant
5) Jiub
6) Vivec
7) Cliff Racer/Cliff Racers
8) Refined Moon Sugar/Moon Sugar
9) Skooma/Moon Sugar
10) M'aiq the Liar
11) The Elder Scrolls I: Arena/Arena (I cannot believe most of you struggled so much with this one! The posters in Oblivion display the Arena box art)
12) Ogrim

Once you got all the answers right, you would've got message saying, "CSVRh - Wot is dis?". It's a code for the giveaway. All you had to do was reverse it. If you did, you would have got this link: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/hRVSC

Congratulations to those who entered :) And Congrats to the winners of the giveaways.

Awesome, thanks, and congratulations on your milestone thomas!

Great giveaways, I entered the Fez one. It looks like a super interesting take on a platformer.

Good luck to everyone!

Oh go away -.- I really don't understand why almost everyone on Steamgifts seems to be able to do all kinds of decoding etc, where do you people find the time to learn this stuff?

Well, most of the "decoding" that people are doing around here is either just right-click and view page source for the hidden giveaway, or input the 5 character alphanumeric sequence in the giveaway link between "http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/" and the game title. In this case, its neither. I've solved the Skyrim quiz, but I'm just left with the meaningless letters.

Well I know about putting it at the end of the link for either steamgifts or itstoohard but neither work for this one, and interesting, I shall try that right-click thing in the future :P but yea for now we're just left with these letters without any idea as to what we have to do

Well, first of all I can't give you any hints, it's not my puzzle. And besides OP said clearly "No hints." Solve it yourself or give up, those are the choices... :)

Check someone's profile when they are doing a puzzle. If you see a Private Giveaway with 49 Entries, 58 Comments - it's not impossible. But don't feel bad - most of them I can't solve either. Just got lucky with this one I guess... :)

Clearly its not impossible, but doesn't mean there's any real logic to it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. This puzzle would've been an interesting way to get people to either remember Morrowind or learn about it (if they hadn't played it ages ago). Instead, its simply annoying.

But there is logic to it. I have made it far from impossible. You're just think way too hard.

They didn't learn how to decode stuff... they learned how to bruteforce steamgifts and find all private giveways links xD Possible ? yes, but I think after so many connections people get banned or something xD

Anyway I solved the puzzle and I think, I know what that thing is but still don't know what to do with it xD

Wait...this is so rude.
I finish the puzzle and get "invalid giveaway code" and "Quiz or key not found!"

Why :((

I don't think "rude" is the correct word to describe someone giving away free stuff to a random stranger... :)

How rude of me. Buying games and then giving them away for nothing. How rude that I make a fairly difficult (to some) puzzle.

Shame on me. Shame on me I say!

I never said you were rude, also that was supposed to be ment ironically.

Sorry if you misunderstood, of course I am thankful for the giveaways!

EDIT: Solved it now, you saying "everyone is overthinking it" was a great hint.

Congratulations noble sir! To gift so many games speaks very positively of you. So, instead of congratulate you, I think it's better to thank you ;)

Read the thread. I rewrote the question to help non-English speakers.
I'm not giving hints. If you played Morrowind (and in the case of Q11, Oblivion), you'd wiz through the quiz.
