Amazing, blatant lies from Tom Howard.

Post » Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:57 pm

REAL QUOTES FROM TOM HOWARD

"We can update the game on the fly." ( Perhaps he meant making the Dragons fly.. backwards?)

"We are running new and better processes to catch bugs before the game launches." ( How that work out, Tom??)

"We want to be in the position of being able to improve the game, no matter what way that is," ( Hows that working out Tom?

Howard is well aware of the unrest among gamers who associate the release of Bethesda's massive, dynamic role-playing games not only with fun, but also with bugs that lock up quests, crash the game, or mangle characters into unrecognizable forms. ( Former Oblivion Team member quote )

"It's a known issue and a very valid complaint," ( Yet you release two [censored] up patches )

Before launch, Howard said, Bethesda is testing Skyrim rigorously and more heavily using a system that runs automated versions of the game overnight, searching for bugs and helping the team squash them. ( Oblivion Team Member )

"We're getting better at it," ( Hows that working out Tommy? I know you hate it when I called you Tommy )

"We can change stats on a sword and it will be available to everyone in a few hours," ( Cool trick. But can you make Dragons fly correctly in a few hours Toddy? )

"Are there going to be bugs we didn't catch in a game of this size?" ( Tom's way of saying they did not meet the deadline and had to stop programming and ship busted code )

"Our assumption is there are going to be." ( And there is Tommy Boy, there is. )

Who's Tom Howard?

Seriously though. If you don't think they HAVE gotten better and less buggy, were you playing Morrowind or Oblivion at launch? Also, nothing on that list is actually blatantly false. Some of it didn't pan out "as advertised", but there is a basis to the statement in every case.

Don't ever expect people who work for game companies to say anything that might hinder sales.

Todd Howard also blatantly lied about Radiant AI, and upsetting economies. Skyrim has NO economy LOL. You can't even do what he SAID you could do specifically, which is sabotage mills, etc. You can't do that.

Also, shop keepers are not replaced once you kill them. (with the exception of the Riverwood Trader)

And quest givers don't give their quest to their relatives (or anyone else for that matter) once you kill them. (With the exception of the Riverwood Trader)

I called him Tommy when I worked at Bethesda. He dislike it, so I am using that name since I know for a fact he personally spends lots of time reading these forums.

I have yet to encounter even ONE of these infamous bugs, nor have any of my many friends playing the game, which leads me to believe that while they are there and need addressing, they are grossly exaggerated and nowhere near as widespread as some want to make it seem, but rather a very vocal minority of players.

If Tod Howard is reading this. A big middle finger buddy. You got me too hyped up for a game that does not add up.
