Bethesda releasing a patch to fix backwards flying dragons and then encountering a backwards flying dragon. :facepalm:

I get that these are all funny and all that, but they break the game. This is just some funny little problem, it's a funny huge problem with the game, just like all the other details bethesda ignores. You are constantly taken out of the world because nothing in the game reacts realistically to your actions. Too often it doesn't react at all.

Wait, are we talking about the same Bethesda?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

It really says something when people point out this many flaws in a game, and say they're missing details, when Bethesda not only developed a whole system of 'hobo sign language' for the Thieves' Guild, but made it completely true. Not only did they add the aurora borealis, they made it different colors depending on the area. Not only did they give you butterflies, they let you catch them. etc.

Saying Bethesda misses details is like saying Infinite Ward has only made revolutionary games.

LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGTHN-Oops, guard got in the way of that one, oh well, dragon's not dead yet...LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT!!!!!!

*absorb soul"

Guard-"Pay for you're crimes!"

Fine, next time I'll just let the dragon eat you instead of worrying about whether some moron guard is going to walk into my spell and then yell at me for it...

So true. Was no one in charge of the ingame economy? lol

Giant is 10x my height, yet cannot climb up the rocky ledge that I hopped over to get away from him.

Ooo, I've got one!

Worship of Talos is heresy, Septim dynasty has been replaced, but the official currency is still the "Septim" and still has Tiber Septim's image on it!

In game its actually just referred to as gold. And I haven't noticed Tiber Septim's face on it.

And how is saving and then doing somethign stupid and loading an inconsistency, thats you using an out of game mechanic for your experience. Kind fo stupid, not incredibly stupid you would complain about that.

One character telling me (the Archmage wearing arch mage robes) over and over again to visit Winderhold and join the mages.

Arrow sticks out of Lydia's eye.
'Ey, more more more battle aaaaaaargh!!!'

Kill the Emperor: 1040 gold, please.

Wear Dark Brotherhood Armor, nobody notices who you are.

Also, I will not talk about the lit tombs and caves. Already did that when Morrowind came out

Ah yes. Sure, Saarthal is safe, no problem for second day magic students. Just walk right in. We have scouted the place for months.

50 meters in. BAM.

NPCs having amnesia. How many times you going to tell me you helped your father in more ways then one??

Saves the game
Does something incredibly stupid

Does something incredibly stupid.

Reload previous save... from two hours ago.

Where do I start?

***** minor spolers alert ****

- Getting rid of all your weapons beforehand but not being frisked by the entrance guard at the Thalmor Embassy.
- Esban, a sought after fugitive, hidng out in the most obvious place behind...wait...a padlocked door?! No secret door, no traps, none?! Get out of here.
- Delphine leaving the Riverwood tavern to Orgnar and the poor guy informing me on my next visit ..errrr... that I need to talk to Delphine should I desire a room.

I guess my name is biased, but if Talos supposedly isn't a god, why do I get bonuses for praying to him?

Pickpocket someone, items are considered stolen and you must find a fence to pawn them.

Murder someone and loot the corpse, items aren't marked stolen and guards even let you keep them after serving your sentence.

Apparently, it's not considered theft if you murder someone before taking their stuff.

I mentioned this in another thread, I'll mention it here again:

The Khajiit can't enter the cities, but my Khajiit can walk right inside with no questions asked.
If you are doing the main quest, I guess it could be "Because you're Dragonborn". But if I haven't touched the main quest at all, then why am I so free compared to the other Khajiit? :huh:

NPC blacksmiths constantly use the grind stones and workbenches.

Never sell upgraded equipment.

(Seriously what exactly are they doing with all those sharpened weapons and reinforced armor?)

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 5:47 pm

My first run through was with a thief. When I hit Winterhelm I did my due diligence and burglarized everywhere. That kind of ruined the whole Butcher investigation. Worst part was even though I knew who it was, I still had to follow the steps when the quest triggered.
