The biggest problem here that the Beth boards are jam-packed with fan boys. Whatever you criticize, they'll be quick to counter it totally the opposite, even though they haven't get a clue what the real issue is.
As it stands, Bethesda have released a corrupted alpha version on the PC, with a terrible interface, the largest number of bugs ever to appear in a game after release and serious performance issues. Not to mention that PC gamers have to use Steam, to constantly validate the game files, because corruption is at every corner.
Professional reviewers never saw the PC version or somebody poked their eyes out. Nobody in their right mind could rate this game high. For all what it could have been, the animation is ancient, voice acting still not massive enough with players soon getting bored with listening to the same actor again and again for different NPCs, the game play is arcade, magic flawed, too easy even on expert setting, and the story done many times before in other Dragon-based RPGs (Divine Divinity 2, Dragon Age). Also, it did not progress since Oblivion. And Oblivion was a bad Morrowind.
What is most bugging, is the complete lack of support from Bethesda's side for the PC gamer. Not only are they deaf for the obvious flaws in their alpha release, they also do nothing for us. It's like I bought a new car, but upon arrival I find the windscreen is cracked, one of the front wheels is missing, and there is no break. The response from the car dealer is silence, just a faint smile at the cash they ripped off me, and to top it, fans of the car brand tell me to relax and fix the car myself (after all, it's such a perfect car, and why should I expect it to be complete in the first place). Fan boys have some serious problems with logic.
Unfortunately, calling the game an Alpha release suggests a product with few working features, where the base gameplay is complete and nothing else. Honestly, I think you are in a long list of heavyhanded, doomsayers who sets your sights way too high when you bought this game. Do I think your argument is invalid, No, in fact I think when you speak about the game bugs are very real, very true but I think your anolysis on the game is very heavyhanded.
This is a finished game. Finished doesnt mean playtested, finished means that the core gameplay, everything needed to enjoy the game has been completed. If this game wa sunfinished there would be obvious things missing such as the I HAVE NO GREETING bug in Shivering Isles (using as an example, not saying Shivering Isles was incomplete). The problem myou have is that the final part of the game, the FINAL thing that needed to be done, playtesting, wasnt done thoroughly enough. Some of the bugs arent as obvious, but the big ones are there. Do I absolutely condemn them for getting antsy and releasing a game probably a month early, no. There are plenty of companies that deserve that king of crap (EA games and their Origin for example). Will I kiss Bethesda's ass and hail the game as the greatest thing ever, No, I wont.
However, as miuch as I understand the idea you are getting by, completely heavyhanded point with an overexaggeration in order to get your point accross. There are tons of [censored] on both sides both the lovers and haters. But dont use fanboyism for a basis to judge the company for what was probably an oversight, a large one, but an oversight. Let them know of your dissatisfaction, but dont just absolutely destroy them for it.
