Thank you Bethesda for creating an rpg so mind boggling excellent in its greatness that i have not played another game since its release on the eleventh. Truly you are Masters of your craft. Cheers and Happy Holidays :foodndrink: :cake: :foodndrink:

Thank you Bethesda, for a great game. :foodndrink:

At level 62, I'm realizing I've barely scratched the surface. So yes thank you, you Machilavellian bast***ds.

For drowning me in yet another completley addictive and immersive TES experience. That and stealing yet another year of my life to complete this game! :foodndrink:

ps: The half a decade being "worth the wait" for TES 5 is an understatement. Especially when you consider the meticulous attention to detail put into the design of the game environment. I'm also finding the degree of accuracy and level of detail in all 655 pages of the game manual completely unprecendented for its genere. Perhaps for all time, when you consider the trend of publishers toward DD game manuals. Especially when you consider the complete lack of game quality, performance, and manual support from gaming titans like Electronic Arts. I think these factors rank Skyrim and its manual in first place for GOTY and the GOTY game guide. :celebration:

Thanks again Bethesda! :yes:

Thank you Bethesda for continue to up the bar in quality for your games. You're awesome world builders, looking forward to Fallout 4 with all the knowledge and skills you have gained from Skyrim.

You either bumped your head, or are sneakily trying to blow smoke up Bethesda's ass like they've been blowing up ours for years.

Nice try, Bethesda! Better luck next time. <3

Thanks Bethesda waiting on the next TES with all provinces of Tamriel included, and the opportunity for my character to conquer all of them or send the world into chaos. Have fun making that.

These people are my favorite game developers. The image in my sig tells why I love the games for one aspect but I know that the people who have worked on Skyrim have put themselves into the game. There are so many great ideas that I sometimes imagine how that meeting went when people suggested things to try over the last three years of their lives and I've watched the videos of them talking about what they do. They deserve every single accolade coming their way now. I haven't yet watched the video that came with the CE because I'm still avoiding spoilers but I'm sure that will just add to the feeling that I really love what they create. They're absolutely brilliant and I'm having a blast!! Thank you to everyone at Bethesda for creating all this FUN! Hugs all around.

:tes:

I'll thank them when they fix my unplayable PS3 version. Seriously, I will. I'll even give them a big hug... just as soon as I can actually play the game I spent $60 on.

Best game since Ultima Online! True story.

So what you are saying is that, if a game-store sells a new game for 1 € and has the customer give them three games in addition, they'd ship one of those games to bethesda? :rolleyes:

I can't believe CD Projekt (the ones who made The Witcher games) haven't got a mention as top developers yet. I absolutely love those guys because they genuinely care about their games long after release and implement so many new features and change so many flaws that the vast majority of developers wouldn't even glance at. It's a shame that their games will never be as hyped as Bethesda's because they almost certainly deserve it more.

As for Bethesda, I kind of like to compare them to Creative Assembly (the ones who make the Total War series) in that they basically have a monopoly on a certain style of game. Sure, there are other open-world RPGs and strategy games out there, but none quite like what these guys produce. The problem with that is that it's easy for such a developer to get lazy when all they ever hear is nothing but praise from the laughable, uncritical reviews from the mainstream gaming scene. For me, this is very much a trial for Bethesda. If they just deal with a few major bugs and move on, then this is the last game of theirs I buy. If, however, they show that they actually care about their game and its fans, and do as much as possible to polish it, then they'll be one of my favourites.

I never tried Dragon Age 2 so my opinion of Bioware hasn't been tainted as it has for some others.
