Does Bethesda Still Update Skyrim?

Post » Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:47 pm

Are there going to be more updates or was the patching of the Oghma Infinium the last update? I really want them to add the option to rename your character when you go to the plastic surgeon at The Ragged Flagon if you have Dawnguard installed to literally rearrange your face. Some people, like me, regret using a name you chose and you don't feel like making a new save just to change your name.

So I'll be putting up a poll just for that if you want Bethesda to add a name changer in Dawnguard when you change your appearance. I don't see why they can't add it since they made the Oghma Infinium readable only once now, Ungrien, the Bosmer at the Black Briar Meadery can't only be bribed/persuaded once, ect. So also, feel free to post any thoughts on this as well. :)

It won't happen but I don't understand why they didn't let me change my name when I changed my face...a new identity needs a new name and this would've greatly reduced the amount of restarts for me.

Absolutely not. They have abruptly ended any type of support for the game.

Not true. They said they would apply small updates as needed. If the need for an update comes outta nowhere somehow then it will be updated. I highly doubt that will happen though.

As for me no and no.

Not trying to sound like a jerk here, but may I ask why not? If you don't need to use it others may want to. There also may be a time where you might want to use it if you're a console player or maybe a PC player who doesn't use mods or console commands.

I play on the Xbox so I don't have the option to change the name. The only problem I can see this creating are with the letters the others send you that has your name that you chose at the beginning of the game. Others than that, it would be a good addition for those who play on Xbox or PS3 since we can't use console commands.

You made the poll asking people for their opionons, i gave mine to you. I personally would have no use for a name changer and becasue of this personaly see no point in it.

I get that others might use it if their character was say trying to hide from the Empire/Dominion or their past. Those would be others opinions though, not mine.

That's just a nice way of saying "we're done here". ;)

Think about how many bugs are still in game that have been in game since the beginning. I would say that they "need" to have several more updates to address the many bugs but it's not going to happen or should I say is highly unlikely. Many of the problems left unfixed were fixed by the Unofficial Patch so it's fully within Beths power to fix them if they so choose but clearly they're not concerned as they've made their money and moved on to the next project. There's nothing gained from spending man hours on fixing a game that's nearly 2 years old so it's safe to say that they're done with Skyrim.

More patches would be great, but I don't think one will arrive anytime soon.

I make decent names now, but I would change my name depending on my character.

Bethesda said they would do some small updates, but...

Let's just say, that Bethesda can say whatever they want to say.

Not in favor of name changer except beyond the first name. For example, if my character was a Stendarr Vigilant, but became a werewolf, then it would be *first name* Dark Destroyer to *first name* Wolf-Blood.

*if you get what I'm saying*

If any patches are made, I am favor of game performance/stability, rather than more add-ons.

Doesn't interest me on either questions. The "small update" was thrown out as nothing more than a disclaimer. If the game needs (ie.. Some unforseen gamebreaking issue) it they will release something to address that problem and that's about it.

If it hasn't by now. It's not going to happen.

Besides, there are far more pressing issues than a name changing feature. I'm content with Skyrim and welcome the upcoming title in the FO series. I hope they stay in tune with that.
