Bethesda is going to have to patch their patch. And then they're going to have to patch their patch to patch the game.

Why would we hate you? It's obviously a picture of the team involved in patching games over at Bethesda :P

Has anyone else experienced their main menu being simply missing? I have the dragon emblem and that's it.

Just look for broken bookcases, broken resistances and weaknesses and dragons flying backwards.

Really good cover of the Dovahkin song. Makes you wish it was actually in game. A little heavy on the post-production effects, but still really stirring.

Every time I quickload the game thinks my char is overencumbered. Just got to open and close the inventory to stop it but yeah, that's annoying. Especially when facing the first boss I've ever haf to reload more than twice at.

mmm maybe that's why pirates are winning:
no obligation to buggy updates.
and obviously, disc not necessary and free to grab.
i'm the only one who recalls those old games who didn't have bugs, just glitches?
and they weren't even the programmers fault, but the players?

First. Glitches are bugs.

Second. HELLOO NOSTALGIA! All software has bugs.

Third. The more complex a program becomes the more bugs it has, and harder it is to repair those bugs.

Forth. Its mathematically impossible to quash all bugs of any program. You might be able to get it in a state, where the bugs that are left, are rare, or easily worked around, but they're still there.


And some of the best and brightest classic PC games, have bugs. Daggerfall has been brought up. How about Fallout 1 & 2? X-Com UFO Defense. (The X-115 fuel bug, is god damn annoying.) Even Zork has bugs in it.

Just because a game is complex doesn't mean it has a right to be buggy as hell.

I mean for fucks sake, there are dragons flying backwards. No matter how complex the game is this should never happen. Bethesda honestly seems to either be rushing their games or they are just getting lazy.

Forth
Henceforth, I ask that you not mix up forth and fourth :P

Regarding the new patch: Meh, I'm not surprised.  I'm holding off of any more Skyrim until the Construction Kit is released.
EDIT: Creation Kit, even.  Man, screw these pointless renamings.
It's still GameBryo no matter how much you want to say it's not, dangit.

I am waiting for the eventual bugfix made by the community, they tend to be better than the official ones.

This requires the Construction Set to be released, unfortunately. And the community fixes tend to happen after official patching dies down a bit, as it generally takes a while for a small team to fix a large game, and they don't want to fix things that might be fixed/changed in the next official one.

For now, a waiting game.
