So legit.

dude...i think playing skyrim drunk...rocks!!!

I could go out and download the Xbox version right now if I wanted. The thing is I'm in no hurry to play it, 1.6 screwed my gameplay on that system so much I stopped playing it and bought the PC version. I bought the game on release for the Xbox and stopped playing around the end of February because of the amount of bugs with quests and other mostly trivial annoyances.

I started playing again just before 1.6 was released with a brand new character and thought they had finally got the game into a stable playable state, then 1.6 hit and boom the craziness with bugs and glitches started all over again. Light effects started popping on as I approached torches and lanterns, draw distances dropped dramatically with pop up happening all over the place, but the best of all was the introduction of reproducible freezing and load screen crashing, something which increased dramatically with the 1.6 introduction.

All this has influenced me in the decision to wait until Dawnguard is released for the PC, as a whole, out of the box no mods version it's 100% more stable than on console.

Screw the Xbox exclusive, on my machine it wouldn't be worth playing anyway, and for any Xbox owners out there blaming the machine, it's the new style black 250GB version I'm using not an older model.

what about ps3?

You're not the only one-it's just that Beth won't care because M$ made sure to factor people like you into the deal.


They're not going to make DG a 360 exclusive. They'd lose a lot of purchases, and the pirating of the DLC that such a move would cause on the PC-side would probably be massive. Anyway, I honestly don't think Beth gives a flying [censored] about the community's reaction given that unless half the entire PC and PS3 community doesn't purchase the DLC(lolyeahright), they've still made money on the deal. It'll be a release in late August or so, probably because they can't even talk about other versions until late July(and if you think that's an excessive amount of time between announcement and release, it was a 3 week-ish timeframe from announcement to release for FO:NV's Dead Money DLC).

I JUST WANT TO BEEEEEEPING PLAY THE GAME......IS THAT SO BAD??????????

I have the damn yellow ring of death in the wrong time! I need to fix it before Dawnguard comes out for the PS3!

Shouldn't be any danger in not getting it fixed in time.

If only the crapbox didnt exist we wouldnt have this problem. Playing ANYTHING on a console over a PC is like having six with 10 layers of condems on.

This ^ !

Boredom? I need to buy it the day it comes out. To pay my respects for the only DLC I am stoked to buy for an Elder Scrolls game.

what is the difference between playing on a console and playing on a PC?? I dont understand? What's the big deal?

u play on pc xbox or ps3?

There's only one reason why us PC users dont have dawnguard at the moment and thats because bethesda no longer uses Games For Windows Live (because its [censored] stinking pile of [censored] and need to be killed with fire along with the whole team that made though it up and developed it). For Fallout 3 both PC and 360 users got DLC at the same time while the PS3 users had to wait an extremely long time yet when New Vegas came out which dropped G4WL in favor of Steam, PC and PS3 users now had to wait for the first lot of DLC while the 360 got it first.

Well mods and the potential of faster loading screens. And that a mouse and keyboard is more fluent to me. Either way, not starting a console war here. I don't blame the XBOX for Dawnguard's delay...no, I blame Microsoft and it being one of the prime examples of greedy corporations screwing over everything.

Also the fact you can get a patch that fixes a vast majority of the problems that Bethesda will likely never bother fixing themselves.

And playing at 60 FPS rather than 20 or 25.

And occasionally 5...

CAN YOU DUEL WIELD YOUR BLOOD DRAINING ENERGY BALLS IN BOTH HANDS??

I am still hoping in my heart that this is true

I have been watching game videos of Dawnguard. I really hope it comes to PS3 soon....i am already addicted...and i havent even played yet!! lmao!

Nothing, natha, same, same fps, same loading time, same mods, resolution options, same AA options, same textures, all same. You can't totally & utterly plug a PC to a larger display (TV) and use a wired or even a wireless controller making it quite literatly a super console.

Nah, none of that, all same, no big deal.

*Rant Begins"

Get a job, do some research and buy a PC and show all your console friends how worthless there POS console is, that if they are not totally into fighting games (the only genre worth a crap on console) they aren't playing games the way they are suppose to be played. Families and fighting game fanatics are the only people who need consoles, if you can afford a console & a TV your probably making money, be patient, save a little more and buy a effing PC to plug into your badass TV. You can use a controller, a PC is a entire entertainment system, music, recording, games, movies, everything. If your reading a forum (this post) you are a little more then casual of a gamer, im sorry to brake that to you. You play games for hours, don't be worthless get a job and buy a PC. If your Single (not married, no kids etc) and physically mentally capable you can afford a PC. If your in college paying student loans, well your [censored], buy a console...

No Developers at Bethesda play Skyrim on a console outside of work, if they tell you they do they are doing there job. The only home 360 they have used for Skyrim would have a SSD, highly modded and can use PC mods.

The way I see it, and it's complete speculation on my part, is this. The PS3 is the problem child as far as Skyrim is concerned, from what I remember it was the console with the biggest problems from day one, from "really" bad texture issues to frame rates going through the floor due to virtual memory and cache usage as the save game file size got bigger. This may be some of the reasons for update and the Dawnguard delay on that platform.

As for the PC version, there are now a lot of mods out there, some of which are really incredible in scope, so much so that official updates can cause all sorts of instability problems. Update 1.6 screwed with dialog changes made by the Unofficial Skyrim Patch so much they have now released a 1.05b and now a 1.05c beta version to address the broken quests due to the dialog changes for instance. The mods may be the cause for the delay of Dawnguard on that platform.

Bethesda should issue a statement regarding Dawnguard release on these platforms though, if only to stop the wild speculation that I've read here, I honestly can't see Dawnguard being exclusive to the Xbox, it just doesn't make ecomic sense to limit your product to one platform. My take on it is the Xbox version was the easiest and least likely to cause problems on implementation, if you can also get Microsoft to pay a little extra for "exclusive" release then better still.

I may be totally wrong, I guess the end of July or so will tell, one way or another.

I am xbox owner and I don't get random attacks in my cities I feel left out and cheated.

Exclusive apparently does not sink in well with people, when they said 30 day exclusive on xbox that means they will not say a word about the pc or ps3 versions of dawnguard they won't even think about those versions until the 30 days is up.
