bethesda and fans

Post » Sun Jun 26, 2011 6:37 pm

The second half of my post was addressing the statement people seem to enjoy making when they do not like the features someone else is talking about or showing concern over its removal or Altering with the statement "Bethesda isn't making the game for you, you're a Minority and Bethesda is a business, they aren't here to cater to you because your on their forums" a statement of which I find purely used to undercut another individual and nothing more :shrug: as if for some reason because one is on the forums one ceases to think the same way they did when they were not on this forum or on another forum.

case and point for some reason if Bob thinks similar to John that x features or in/out good/bad both played the games but didnt go on the forums. if Bob joins to forums he becomes a minority and his opinion is atrocious and game dampning while John is more...attractive?

Being on or off a forum holds would never make one person's opinion less important than the next persons. It's only when we talk about majority of gamers that this becomes an issue. It's fine for someone to complain and it's also fine for those happy with decisions and those not happy with the decisions to say it like it is (within forum rules) and those who say such things must also know they are on the forums. :P It really goes both ways and I see it happen both ways dependent upon which side of what fence who is sitting on. If it's used as a flame, report it. Otherwise, don't respond to it if it upsets you. :shrug:

I sit on my hands to keep from responding the way I'd like all the time. My hands are so sore.

honestly, I think we should trust bethesda more. All the experiments that people keep griping about create a lot of the improvements between games. Sometimes they screw up with experimenting, sure, but nobody can make every new feature perfect. From Morrowind to Oblivion, we've seen a lot of new features that really improve the game, and we've seen stuff leave that really shouldn't have. We'll see the same between Oblivion and Skyrim.
But when all's said and done, I'm sure that the developers can and will make a fantastic game worth every cent we pay for it.

what game do you think would be better, the creativity of a fan game, or the creativity of a game made by the people who work for Bethesda?

You have a fallacy here. The people developing Skyrim are fans too. It is illogical to divide Bethesda from its fans. Skyrim is a fan game.

The first Skyrim preview in Game Informer reads like 14 pages of fan ideas straight from the forums. Whatever the source of the ideas, it is indisputable that they are in synch with what Elder Scrolls forumers have been requesting. Any feature complained about by fans is also a feature supported by fans. Even Oblivion's level scaling finds some supporters. You can ignore profit-mongering as a driving force in the game design. Good gameplay justifications can be made for everything Bethesda has done with their series. Each of those justifications is backed by fans' desires.
