Do I appreciate Bethesda making Skyrim? No I don't. After all they are doing a buisness. What I appreciate Behtesda doing is having Arena and Daggerfall for free for us to download. I did buy them but lost them, so it was nice being able to replay these games that I no longer could. That I am thankfull for. But for making new products, no I am not thankfull.

Afterall I am not in their demographic anymore when they make thier games so why would I be greatfull for?

I love Bethesda and would be the company′s little *beep* for a year for each new title!

How the *beep* could 4 people vote "no" D: ?

There are a lot of so called fans who despise everything Bethesda does because it isn't the exact same as before. Very broken base.

Don't sell yourself short; that's how they got the inspiration for corprus victims the last time. :hehe:

"if they do this, i will never buy another elder scrolls game again" and "Skyrim is a disappointment".

Or maybe some people have different opinions.
Shocking, I know.

Yes, more than words.



Just for the record and your own sanity, know that most of them are talking right out of their hind quarters. It's called "diarrhea of the mouth" and it's inherent to the selfish nature of humans.

There's that then there's "YOU RUINED [insert name here] FOREVER YOU EVIL SELLOUT CONSOLE MAINSTREAM [censored]S!".

Or maybe some people have different opinions.
Shocking, I know.

A bit awkward to answer. On the one hand, I'm among the more positive posters and I love the Elder Scrolls series. I was very happy when Skyrim was announced, and I've since been happy with the vast majority of information released.

On the other hand, Bethesda is a company, that wouldn't be making Skyrim if it wasn't financially viable. So appreciation doesn't really come into it; I have to pay to play the game, and no matter how much I might admire the game's design and art, Bethesda isn't doing me a favour - and there are several things in every game that I could do better myself, given the right circumstances and resources. I'm not a fan unconditionally, and I'll criticise a game's failings as readily as praise its successes. I'm a statistic, a customer, with no financial or creative power as far as Bethesda's games are concerned.

I like the devs, and I love their games, but they make the game they want, and I give them my money. I'd say that makes us even.

Simple question. Do you appreciate Bethesda for making a sequal?

This may seem like a stupid question but its got to the stage where I have to ask the forum this. I feel bethesda personally have done a fantastic job with the series and think every game is unique and different in their own way. And yes, I would judge the elder scrolls as an RPG series.

I am not saying I think the elder scrolls is the best thing since sliced bread. I do like certain games in the series better than others but I like them all enough to claim that this is my favourite game series (like many people on this forum). Would you prefer to have the series exist rather than not? The way some people talk about Skyrim, it makes me think some people don’t.

Last year, people were wondering if Bethesda would even make a sequel. Now that they have confirmed it, everyone is all excited and of course we cant wait. When they give us game news and screenshots though... people have basically judged the game in very bold statements of "if they do this, i will never buy another elder scrolls game again" and "Skyrim is a disappointment".

I don’t mind constructive criticism about game news or suggestions about adding to the game. What i do mind is people mindlessly attacking the series, Bethesda, each other, about how bad and terrible they think Skyrim will be. Not only does this not achieve anything at the end of the day but it spoils it for people who are really looking forward to the game. And lastly, the pointless attacks on Bethesda who made the elder scrolls. I am not a Bethesda fan boy, I am just struggling to see why people throw so much hate and annoyance at them when A. the game is not even out yet and B. without them, there would be no elder scrolls.

So my question is once again, do you appreciate Bethesda for making a sequel and do you think making such bold hateful statements against the game before it is even out is wrong? Now I shall eat my cookie and hope i dont get flamed

Why are you wasting your time here? Honestly. Beth's "demographic" = anyone who buys their games

Personally I love Beth and the team. Yes they are a business, however they make these games with a lot of love and attention and if they hadn't have tried to widen the appeal of them then we wouldn't have them anymore.
