Dear Bethesda,
I have been a huge fan of you from the beginning, and an Elder Scrolls fan since Morrowind. I've always supported you, and I greatly enjoy your games.
But, and I think I speak for all PS3 users here, I've been waiting for about 2 MONTHS for Dawnguard. And, believe me, I have tried to be patient. I know you guys keep saying that you are dealing with technical problems, and are trying to make it 'less buggy' so we don't have problems, and I respect that, but at least some NEWS would be appreciated. You have been stone cold-silent to us ever since it was released to PC, and we are all at the edge of our seats every day hoping you'll make SOME announcement. But nothing ever came.
Then you go ahead and announce Hearthfire (which, by the way, looks great). Xbox360 will be getting it September 4th, and I get that, because of the 1 Month-exclusive deal. But then what? Will we have to wait 2+ months again.
I, personally, do not think so. Though recently with Bethesda I don't know what to think. Hearthfire is much smaller than Dawnguard so it should have A LOT less bugs. So I'm sure (hoping, actually) you will release it to PS3 around the same time as for PC.
HOWEVER, I think that by giving Dawnguard FREE with Hearthfire, as the rumors have been lately, I think that will calm down a lot of PS3 users and give you more support from them. You know what, I wouldn't even mind if you gave HEARTHFIRE free with Dawnguard, instead of vice-versa. In fact, I would be ECSTATIC.
Most of my friends have sworn that they won't touch another Bethesda game ever again. I, however, will just wait. Though if some news does not come out about Dawnguard for PS3 over the course of next week or so, I fear I'll just have to go out and buy Skyrim for my Xbox, and ruin all the hard work I've put into it for the PS3 so far.
I hope you take these opinions into consideration, and possibly find the time to reply. All PS3 users who are still loyal to you are counting on you.
Thanks, Hashim
