They're doing too good a job.

We're like the guy crawling through the desert murmuring, "water... water," only it's, "Skyrim... Skyrim..."

Yes they are. You could call them puppet masters.

Beth isn't obligated to share any info with us, beggars can't be choosers. But the community reaction is more frustrating than any sort of lack of info. Everyone is biting at the chomps to protest or defend things we aren't even certain of.

Depends on the perspective. For us it can be horrible, but marketing wise they're doing it well. :P

Problem with other developers is that they tend to reveal to much information and cool moments in the game. Which makes the game less exciting for those who are following the production of the game every day

Yes, but just a little more ATM would be favorable (for me) :P

I think it is satisfactory, I mean I wouldn't want to know too much too soon. It's ok.





Except that I need to see an Argonian now! :D

Its like seven moths to release. When are they supposed to show the cool stuff, when everything has been shown in the summer. They know exactly what they are doing. While I would LOVE to see the demo the press saw, I know that all other info would be less awesome.

I am sorry I voted the last one, because this game is huge as is all TES games they could release a pic a day and not reveal everything as long as they are good at pic taking, because we real good at examining them lol and most games are not half the size or scope of a TES game so yes more info should be forthcoming

I think the poll isn't for me, it puts words into my mouth. Soo, my vote is: Yes. Just yes...Bethesda is doing fine with their information releases.

From a purely practical and self-serving viewpoint, Beth seems to be doing a very good job managing information. So far, they're mostly succeeding at downplaying questionable decisions, and at framing the ones to which they have admitted with superficially compelling talking points, well-designed for mass consumption. They've managed to largely keep the focus on the apparently positive aspects of the game, and by releasing information in a strictly controlled trickle, they've got their fans well hooked. There's a point beyond which the lack of information creates anger instead of desire, but they've yet to cross that point. However, as they run out of positive things to tout and their attempts to proactively excuse the cuts become more desperate and transparent, I expect the flow of information to diminish and the fans to start to get more frustrated. If they time it right though, they'll reach that point close enough to release date that they'll just be able to hunker down and ride it out.

They're doing a fantastic job and they know it. It's keeping everyone on the edge, ready to leap in the next bit of info. It keeps everyone interested, and they are playing that angle very well. IT wouldn't be the same of we had a [censored]load of info all at once because some people might get bored of it, if they don't hear from them for a year. Interest and hype would diminish, and thats not what they want. They like people to crave it, and want it. It's good marketing. Hats off to em.

Yes They're Doing a good job with giving us small amounts of info.. I Don't want to know to much because where still 7 months until the game is released.. If Bethesda gives the community too much info then when the game is closer to release there won't be anything of importance to discuss or for them to tell us.. Right know I'm at the edge of my seat and waiting for the game to release.. The more info I hear the better I like the game I have a few Dislikes but my likes, far out weighs my dislikes..

I was thinking the same thing. Every single post comes off as bitter. But hey, to each their own.

They're doing too good a job.

We're like the guy crawling through the desert murmuring, "water... water," only it's, "Skyrim... Skyrim..."

These.

They aren't "starving the community" by any means. They've given us a lot of good information.

Well I didn't care for the spoiler on how the game starts but other than that they're doing a good job imo. The flow of info has been pretty steady since the first reveal article.

No, they should release less. Seriously, the less we know of a game when we start to play it, the better.
