Problem is that the developers would have had no say in the release date. Same with every other game. Its the men in suits that decide when it comes out

The game was obviously rushed because there are quest ending bugs in it. Why join a guild if you can't even finish the story line? WTF. Am I suppose to just walk around and enjoy the scenery and kill random monsters until they decide to finish the game. LOL.

Either fix the [censored] game or give me my money back.

I think ME3's delay had more to do with how crowded the game release schedule already was for end of 2011 than it needing the time.

Hm, well you're right. I guess my source is faulty (it was a long time ago, I don't remember what it was). I counted about 50-60 that weren't repeated or voice actors. That makes it somewhat less surprising.

ever heard of punctuation?
reading that was really painful..

anyway, personally i dont think they rushed it. a game of that size gotta have alot of undetected bugs at release no matter what.

Remeber how Daggerfall was void of any bugs?
Or Morrowind or Oblivion or Fallout?

Heck, let's move out, remember ANY RPG that didn't had any kind of game breaking bug at relelase?


ME NEITHER.

So I guess they've been rushing things out since forever...

Not really off-topic, imo. We're just pondering on wtf they did during development.

To me it just seems blatantly obvious that Skyrim is SEVERELY lacking in dialog and quests. I mean even Fallout 3 had a pathetic amount of quests, but it made up for it by giving each NPC in Rivet City like 5-6 possible random conversations with other nearby NPCs, and the quests involved a decent amount of dialog. Skyrim you can literally walk up to two NPCs who are programmed to be able to converse with each other, they'll do so, you can take a step back, walk up to them again, and they'll repeat THE EXACT SAME CONVERSATION.


I guess somewhere early in development they decided that radiant quests were somehow a fair trade and decent substitute for storyline or quests with substance. Too bad, imo.

I don't think most of us are talking about bugs rather than the empty questlines we have.

For me quests are the #1 letdown in Skyrim, the quests itself are solid, but the guilds are a breeze and it's impossible to finish quests without following markers.

thats a good point todd mayy be the head honcho for development but its not his say when the game comes out

Skyrim lists 108 developers on Metacritic, excluding all voice actors and sound related jobs, it seems. Oblivion lists 12, which I'm pretty sure isn't right, so I'll ignore that particular list.

I don't think the game was rushed. Honestly it is FAR less buggy / glitchy than an unpatched Oblivion, or unpatched fallout or F:NV (and yes I know beth didn't do FNV, its just a similar game).

COuld they have cleaned things up with a couple more months........ yes, probably.

Am I glad I have a 90% error free game in hands RIGHT NOW and will wait for patches to get it up to 98 or 99%? certainly, yes!

I dont know why people make these threads. Seems theyd do anything just to hit out at the game

On every video game forum...On EVERY video game forum this question is asked about any kind of game the forum is attached to. Is it completely understandable the customers would be upset with some things? Well yea, but the majority of the time on video game forums it appears as if people expect NO bugs in a new game. People expect NO problems. Graphics nutjobs go ape over the dumbest issues. Then we have the insane amount of nostalgia D-bags who're impossible to please.


Does this game have problems? YES! Yes it does. I have some side quests I cannot complete do to glitches. Am I foaming at the mouth? No, cause this is understandable in a game like this. Here are the quests I can't complete.

-Iron claw door wont open.

-Bards quest where I must find Pantea's flute. Found it too early and now can't turn in.

Maybe one more, can't remember it. I think of skyrim like a lot of great games that just come out. A great game with some problems.

Not rushed in the sense of throwing content in without polishing but some things were certainly left out to meet the deadline for release. Most likely faction and main quests would be longer if they had more time at hand.

not trying to knockk anyone just wanna see if people think it shoulda been held back. i havent experienced alot of whats bugging people (ps3 dead) but i have seen ALOT of hate for the game and negativity towards the games staff thats why i asked the question. for what its worth nothing but the constant lagging really stood out to me as a problem. :intergalactic:

sorry about that it shall be edited i write stuff on a whimsy

Rushed? Are you kidding? Have you played the game? I have 80 plus hours in the game, and have not even finshed the main quest. I have not even bothered!

Does the pope **** in the woods?

No but I think this thread is pointless if that helps?

No. All the things I don't like are design decisions.

fair enough it very well may be but this is the best i can do :shrug:

That doesn't make the game any less rushed.

Giving all the bugs there are and the way the PS3 version was poorly optimizied I have to say that YES it was rushed.

This is why you don't go putting out firm release dates close to a year away from the game being released. You put yourself in a corner with no way to get out.

The game should have been delayed, it would have been fine to do so.

Hand crafted dungeons take more time do create. Let's suppose they would have created 30 dungeons for each guild quest line, that would have been a crap load of dungeons to create.

They tried to be all revolutionary, which turned a potentially great RPG into a mediocre football game.
