What is everyone's problem?

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 6:06 am

I have been paying skyrim since release and I have encountered very few bugs. What is everyone's problem calling it a broken game? I also love the game loads and I am not bothered.

Its been almost unplayable for about 2 weeks..

I cannot complete the guild questlines, nor can i complete the quests that simpletons give me

I fought a dragon at an altar today and it decided to crash land half way up the cliff, so it was walking on air while falling down the cliff..
after i killed it i had to watch its body roll very clunky down the cliff hitting rocks and trees on the way down

Also, how is the thieves guild? its it fun?
i miss fun...

I bet I know what alter you're talking about...

In 3 different playthroughs, each time that Dragons has crashed into the side of the mountain and then fell all the way down after being killed.

Its the roost just north of Riften isn't it?

I have had only the most minor of minor glitches. Nothing that even remotely impacts gameplay.

Ok I'll admit I'm on PC and know how to use console commands. But I haven't had any need to use them yet because the only bugs are either just funny ( People can sometimes only go through a door one at a time so a huge queue builds up) or just basic stuff I can ignore (swords are under powered)

I voted other. I think it is a great game, and for me it is not broken, but I have been taking it very slow so wouldn't have encountered a lot of the quest bugs. For others, it can be game-breaking. Some are luckier than others in this regard. Any bug that doesn't allow the game to proceed is the basis for a legitimate complaint. Neither attacking nor defending Bethesda is any help in this regard. They are doing the best they can, most likely.

Different people are experiencing different bugs, some might be gamebreaking. The majority are able to play just fine, though, and this is a fairly stable release for an open world bethesda game. Just saying, we all knew how the first month or so was likely going to be.

I didn't even know they existed until i joined these forums. I haven't had 1 bug in 100 hrs of play (on Xbox 360).

I usually find bugs or bad AI quite hilarious, but not as much as Oblivion's. This game isn't as funny as oblivion in general though.

I love the game and don't ignore the bugs...

I'm not the type of person that just buries my head in the sand... sorry.

I love the game, even though I've encountered my fair share of bugs. Three of them were game-breaking, one did not even let me proceed with the main quest. The other one did not allow me to complete a lengthy quest I was really looking forward to finish and the last one prevented me from getting married in the game, although I must say the bug was frakking hilarious. (Wedding Crashers anyone?)

I fixed two of these by downloading mods and trying new alternatives in game, one remains broken and I don't think it can be fixed at the moment, so I will just let it be.

Skyrim is amazing. It is the first TES I've played, and I am in love with it.
Skyrim is also buggy as sh*t.

It was broken for some people prior to 1.2, but now it's broken to a lot of people.

The problem is that bugs don't always apply to the same people.

How on earth can I ignore getting one hit by a dragons breath when I spent thousands of Septims enchanting decent resistance magic?

I play expert because I enjoy a challenge and now this is ridiculous. I am a warrior with some archery support magic is already my worst enemy, now its not even playable against foes.

Good to hear, I thought I was the luckiest guy who bought the game as I haven't experience much for bugs at all (on Xbox), and the ones I have are minor ( saw a dragon dive through the ground once, and the weapon displays/racks dont work in a few homes), Definitly no game breakers and I have 130 hours into my playthrough.

I'm sure there are some that have experienced some significant bugs but some others just like to over react and run their mouth. I don't know how many times i have seen people rant on here based on facts that are totally wrong. Like a few days ago some guy went on a rant about a bug in a quest and just laid into Bethesda and he was doing something wrong in the quest.

I wanted to start with my cancer anology again, but... No desire and power anymore. Troll along.

But even so, I believe you are missing the point, it's not about the bugs, it's about the behaviour and patches that add bugs. Something to think about.

Dude, I have been on this board for a while now and have not once understood a single thing you've posted.

More to the point, I was okay until the patch. I say okay but some areas lagged to the point of being unplayable. Now I have no resistance.

I would definitely not call it a broken game, but there are many things about it that are broken. The main quest is broken for some people, and I think that counts for quite a lot. I have to use a 3rd party launcher to make the game "not broken" for me, because of the LAA issue that some of us are having. I also have other quests that are broken. Not the main quest so far, thank the Nine, but it's quite annoying anyway. I'm also heavily affected by this new resistance bug, so I consider that one to be pretty severe.

It's an awesome game and I'm still able to play on both PC and PS3 and I can't see what everyone else is experiencing. When my PS3 game gets a larger file, I might be able to see what they're saying. What bothers me is the nastiness. It took more than 3 years to make the game and it's going to take time to fix any problems. There's a lot of interconnectedness and editing one thing in the game can affect many other things. It takes time to investigate all that. They're working on it.
