Lets hope so from all we have seen it will have to offer it deserves GoTY

No. There really is no excuse. The point I was making is essentially getting to a point in the main story of Skyrim and your save is corrupted because you kill a dragon priest you were supposed to kill. A game breaking bug is not okay in any game and developers/publishers are absolutely condemned mistakes. When that game breaking bug is common and can easily occur for many? That's even worse. Like I said, had this been an earlier mission and affected more players, MGS V would be getting the amount of hate BAK likely is on PC.
