I am absolutely beside myself. I invested the extra money to get the collectors edition, have put an obscene amount of time into it thus far; only to have an absolutely shoddy QA dept. allow a game ending freeze? I cleared the cache, attempted to start a new game and load from there...nothing works. I work in medicine, and if my quality were to be mirrored as has been the record with these beta releases, there would be dead people and lots of lawsuits. Terrible thing, QA dept. Really should be some firings going on there. In the fleeting hope that this company will correct this game-ending problem I have stopped playing the game until someone worth their weight in salt puts out a patch to fix the patch. I refuse to start over and until I can begin where I left off will not spend one extra cent in an BGS, Zenimax, ID soft or rage involved projects. I work far too much to invest this amount of personal time into products that are in the vein of beta releases to have it nullified by these types of issues. Two words TROUBE SHOOT.
P.S. going through my portfolios today to see if any index, mutual or standard investments include any subsidiaries of the above named companies. I would rather have slower gains than invest in companies that nearly out right insults the consumer. wish I had a proxy vote. Where are you Mr. Howard?
Seem extreme? I traded in my Lexus simply because the brakes wore out in less than 16,000 miles. My voice is my wallet.

Sometimes you need to run, before you can walk. Sometimes you can't know there's something wrong with the product until someone points it out. Plain and simple. It's how the world works, it's how the majority of the companies work, and it's how 90% of the human society works. Nothing to do but grin and bear it, while trying to enjoy ourselves in the process.

Incorrect. The only companies that can do this and get away with it are government regulated and big oil. Bethesda and Obsidian have burned more bridges than they can afford.
