That it is an internet poll and regardless of which game wins the results are hardly going to be scientific since the voting process is probably shoddy as hell.
You're welcome to start up a poll offline, and even throw is as many restrictions as you'd like. No really, go ahead.
Shoddy or not, it's the subject of this thread and the only poll available to us (as far as I'm aware). To demean the poll is to demean this thread (not that you'd need to, but that's irrelevant

), and if you're going to do that, why even bother replying in the first place?
Continuing to give Bethesda games GOTY is continuing to support shoddy game development and telling developers "Yes, I'll pay you full price to play your beta game!".
Agreed. All games have bugs on release, sure, but Bethesda has been making the same type of game for years now and still puts out releases that aren't even close to being stable. What's worse is that they don't bother fixing all the bugs because they know the community will do it for them with the Construction Set/Creation Kit.
Skyrim has some of the same bugs that we've seen in Oblivion, and instead of fixing them, they stripped content and threw in a bunch of features that were certain to result in even more bugs appearing. Why fix psychic guards when you can add children, right? Or even bother with updating companion AI when marriage is obviously far more important..
