The game is garbage. That is why. It may be a TON of garbage but it's still trash

Thank you for the constructive and intelligent criticism.

That's as good a answer as anyone can give you. Forums are mainly for discussing "problems" with games, no one has any real reason to make posts about things that are "working just fine" with the game.

It svcks because it's so awesome, and then it smacks you in the face by breaking down before your very eyes. I was enjoying this game more than anything else this year. Then it broke. Now I'm more frustrated at it than any other game this year. Let me re-iterate to make it clear - I'm here complaining because I love this game when it works, but I hate that it breaks, consistently and constantly.

Let's use a different game for example - The Cursed Crusade. Also a recent release, and broken in various aspects. Do I go on their forums complaining? No - because it svcks no matter what, through and through, and I don't expect there will ever be a fix for that piece of total trash, so I returned it. I don't care what they do to it, I don't care how much it breaks, because its so terrible. I only come on here to complain in the hopes that those issues will be recognized and the Skyrim will one day be restored to the glory it deserves. Until then, consider me Mr. Complaints, and they're all well deserved.

A thread slamming the game was made a STICKY on these boards. And it's the first on the list. What does that tell you?

the combat is just plain bad with no effort put ino hit detection. It's dumb o give so many choices for weapons than make switching weapons a chore. The enemies are all the same with different skins. They all run at you and don't even try to defend themselves which makes combat and a variety of weapons even more worthless. Ther was a video of a guy killing ever enemy with just his fists, if that doesn't how u how bad te combat actually is I don't know what will
change a demented mind.

The game is way too menu heavy a when u actually reach an enemy that has an actual hit that can do damage you just spend 10 minutes using potions before battle.

Shouts are just glorified magic spells

companions are lifeless

the story is forgettabel
characters are forgettable

dragons have all of three attacks and are about as scary as a bunny rabbit

conversation options are archaic when compared to other modern rpgs
the sense of scale is tiny whn it only take 3 minutes to get up the highest mountain
horse riding is an abomination

the good
draw distance
water effects
cartoony art style
music

I`m getting disgruntled because since 1.2 was allowed to go through XBL, my game has been near unplayable seeing as resists are non existent. I`ve been trying to be patient but that patience is wearing thin.
To be honest 1.2 should never have been released considering how much it screws up the game. Normally I defend this game against a lot of the negative comments. Now I`m joining in :stare:

And it was immediately removed as soon as I pointed that out. Gotta love it

Gstaffs isn't exactly on te top of his game. Too Many threads to lock

You got people who like the game and people who dont, then you have people who make threads about the people who dont.

Wouldn't this make you Complaining about the Complaining about the Complainers? And thus making me a Complainer about complaining about the complaining about the complainers...Oh no what is the forum coming to!

I don't understand it either, I mean Beth games have always been buggy. I would argue that Skyrim is probably Beth's least buggiest game to date.

This

I love this game, but I am here giving and getting ideas about how the game can be better. Also so Bethesda can see what our issues are with the game.

Okay, let me put it like this:

The positive:
Perks
Good rewards for exploration
Races are faily diverse
Racial Powers are useful for more than the first 3 levels.
They have removed a broken attribute system
Melee skills offer more specilization than earlier

THE BAD:
NO ATTRIBUTES
LEVELSCALING
BUGS ARE NOT TO BE EXPECTED IN A HUGE GAME LIKE THIS
NO CLASSES
NO BIRTHSIGNS
BAD DESTRUCTION
MAGES AREN'T GODS

My point? People who complain are more likely to voice their opinion and will be more persistant and loud while doing it.

These are the forums... what did you expect? The fans with nothing to complain about are too busy playing to post.

what? There's more than enough Bethesda zombies svckling on there forums

It was the same with the Halo: Reach and Battlefield 3 forums when they were released. No matter how great the game is, the forum for that game will be chock full of complaining and whining. Just a fact of the internet. In fact, sometimes I get confused over what forum I'm at when I'm reading a topic that just says "this game is garbage" and nothing else.

Thats not quite true though...because obviously there are fans on here complaining about the complainers...
Some people have some genuine issues with this game and yet get lumped into trolling/haters/whiners categories by folks who must be having such a perfect gaming experience as they can`t stand any word being said against the game.

Did you ever read the forums before the game was released? Lots of people going "OMG I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER I WOULD SHOOT MY GRANDMOTHER IN THE CLAM FOR THIS GAME"


Very easy to get let down when you're THAT excited for something.

now Battlefield 3 had it coming, It isn't like any Battlefield its a mix of MOH (EA's failed COD clone) and Bad Company. Granted DICE did try where Beth did not even attempt and make it somewhat a decent game for PC vs a flat out port as Skyrim is which is why till this day I do give props to DICE.

My gripes of Skyrim is simple, poor optimization in general again bugs will happen the amount of bugs however can be controlled by testing the game which BGS didn't do on any platform other then 360 it seems.

Who cares if he is complaining? Everyone else is Complaining, and he is just defending the game that they these forums are intended for, he is just saying that he likes the game and doesn't see why everyone else doesn't, if everyone else can sit here and make threads about how bad the game is, he is entitled to make a thread about how idiotic other people are if he wants too. As long as it is in the guidelines of the forum.

Then he should read the threads where people do the complaining -- then he will understand. Really, it's not very complicated.

Because it's a buggy, streamlined, rushed piece of crap.

No it's not, but if someone wants to Rant and Rave about how bad the game is, he can Rant about how those people are dumb, not complicated is it?

because they wanted it to be Exactly like morrowind but with updated graphics.
