The good:
Skyrim
Bethseda

The bad:
Offline games requiring online connectivity
Steam
Steam client

The next one of your games that shows up with an online requirement in a tiny and obscured icon I will NOT purchase it. Period. If you lie and do not include this on the package I will do what any true Nord would.

One of the reasons I purchase offline games is because I very well might be playing them where I have no connectivity. Imagine buying a book you really want to read only to find out you can only read it when "online".

PS. The steam client is one of the most poorly written pieces of software I have had the displeasure of dealing with. It burns approximately 15-25% cpu and 400MB of ram doing?... What are you doing, generating bit coins? Also, why does an authentication client have to have such... extravagant graphics which tend to cause issues with moving the window?

Yet another newbie to Steam who doesn't realize you can set it to Offline mode or have any idea the wide range of features it has available to its users.

That's valve's fault, not bethesda's.

Its just a online activation then you can go offline forever.

Steam doesn't act like that for me.
