Should Bethesda re-release a multi-disc edition of Skyrim?

Post » Sat Dec 17, 2011 12:46 am

With all the things that seem to be going wrong for Skyrim, unfortunately, Bethesda can't call this game their finest hour. With many people saying that it's like Oblivion with a facelift, and Bethesda's latest patch download, the dreaded 1.2 a measly 3MB compared to DICEs' patch update for Battlefield 3 the size of a tower block, an amazing 2+GB. For anyone wishing to say that Battlefield 3 doesn't compare to Skyrim, we all know this, but it goes to show that DICE are pulling out all the stops to keep their fan's happy. Hell, I'll be honest, I don't make alot of money, and spent my rainy day mulah on Skyrim instead of my eagerly anticipated BF3 as I'm also a big fan of First Person Shooters as well as Role Playing games.

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea, that when the time comes to roll out the GOTY edition of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there should be more disc's, which me personally, thinks is an excellent idea. They could go to town on this version we are playing now and make it something that is truely magical, something we ALL know that Bethesda are truely capable of.

Don't get me wrong, I've currently racked up over 55 hours, yeah, not much, but I like to thin out my gameplay so I don't think I'll be abandoning Skyrim just yet, but given the chance to play on a multi-disc edition of Skyrim OR a bigger install size on the Xbox 360 HDD, I would take that opportunity.

But more importantly, what do you guy's and gal's think?

A bigger patch would have meant Bethesda cared more?

Perhaps DICE's patch was not as efficient, or more had to be fixed.

Norton anti virus was very big on huge updates and hogging my computer. I don't know it meant they were any better at fixing viruses or detecting them than their peers. But they were big.

As for not calling this Bethesda's finest hour, or 'with all the things that seem to be going wrong with Skyrim", I'm not sold anything new has taken place. I hope the PS3 crowd is happy soon, as that seemed to be a sore point.
But one reason I did not choose a PS3 is because of past problems, and those are not just with Bethesda, are they?


I'm disapointed for other reasons with Skyrim, but it's still a worthy game. Very worthy.

I don't understand what multi discs has to do with anything. They didn't even fill up the disc the game is on now so why do we need two discs?

Instead of multiple discs they could as well just start by filling the half empty single disc the game uses so far :shrug:
But then there is still the question with what should they fill the disc(s)?
