Elderscrolls community as I fellow player I understand that you are upset with Bethesda and the 30 day exclusive Xbox got on DG. You must understand that Bethesda is most likely under contract with Microsoft involving DG, which is most likely why Bethesda has kept tight lipped about the PC and PS3 versions. With the 30 days coming to end they will most likely start putting information out and answering questions.

Lastly being upset is understandable making your displeasure known is fine, but you need to be civilized about it, rude comments, trash talk and bad mouthing will not get you anywhere. I am being as polite as I can about this and ask everyone please be patient. Give Bethesda the benefit of the doubt and trust that they will get you information soon as they are able to do so.

To Bethesda I as player thank you for your patients with us your customers

Doesn't help me with the pain I feel.

I agree. Pouting around and screaming solves nothing, the best one can do is patience.





But, that's not how most feel at the moment.

No. Just no. I honestly don't care about Dawnguard. I played it on the 360 before I switched to PC, and it was nothing special. It was actually quite mediocre. I will never give Bethesda the benefit of the doubt for anything though. They most certainly do not deserve it.

I agree that some people are going too far though. Dawnguard is not nearly good enough for all the hatred it's stirring up.

The OP should probably run and duck for cover now...

Seriously though, there's tons of reasons that I can see them not having any info for us right now, which is fine with me.

Forum posters don't scare me, I am married so I think that answers who I fear

The best hiding place from that, is the bar or the video games.

HA! Better erase your internet history then.

Pop some prozac and move on with life people. In reality everything in the world is moving in the opposite direction your a salmon moving up stream. I wonder does anything of what I said breach the agreement I signed.

WRONG.... Well your right that being negitive won't make the DLC come out faster... But Neither will being positive.... We can praise beth day and night, and it won't make a differeance... We are just being tried like [censored]tttt.. So lets jsut ambrace negitivity... At least we can get some messure of satisfaction..... Beth spits on our face either way.... So what differacne does it make... Plus Negitive comments and bashing are more entertaining.... I feel zero sypanthy to Beth, they should be kissing our asss's.....

And microsoft has been run into the ground ever since Gates stepped down from running things... It makes no sence.... Win7 is a microsoft product.... so why would they take away from that...

The bottom line is archery can be so overpowered that the whole concept is rather broken. I have a Dragonbone bow which is currently dealing 747damage whilst I am wearing the appropriately enchanted apparel.

Have you ever seen a dead dragon fall from the sky?

Well said

I've seen their skeletons fall out of the sky a few times and even twitch

I love Bethesda games and unlike the neverending strem of whinning kiddies who vow nevermore buying beth′s products I am more tha perfectly happy to do so...bu their PR fisco over Dawnguard is...simply astounding in this day and age.
We almost hit the six weeks after release on the Xbox..only for them to sping the surprise all of a sudden and release on the PC (I own an PS3 and I pity anybodywho plays Skyrim on it; I bought my new PC almost exclusievly to play Skyrim).
Now the fact that thy were going to release it on all plataforms was a forgone conclussion, but to beign unable or unwilling to come out and calm down the owners of the systems OTHER than the Xbox was simpy astounding...they didnt have to come out and outright give a release date, they just had to be a but friendler about it with a simple "yeah the DLC is coming stay tuned loyal fans" or whtever, but the whole stonewalling was stupid beyond words, and it agravated not only the usual crowd here, but if you check gaming forums, be it IGN or PC Gamer, the same sentiment was abundant. In this day and age of viral campaigns, POP materials and even old fashioned mouth 2 mouth, withall the maketing power than not only Beth but Zenithmedia must have is is truly shameful to see how thet haddled the whole thing, which could have been avoided altoghether with 2 simple statements; anouncing the DLC WAS going to be released on all platforms and simply giving a few updates from time to time...no pressure, no deadlines and some good old fashioned comunication with your costumers...it costs you nothing and it goes along a great way to calming down the fans

i agree with you on that

Whoever is in charge of PR needs to go back to school.

I have to say that was the worst marketing for a product that I have ever seen.

I have been checking 3 or 4 times a day for an announcement for a PC release, and there was no release date to be had when I last checked not more than a few hours ago. Thankfully someone on a non-gaming site I visit (???????) asked me if I had tried Dawnguard since it had been out on PC for a couple of hours - which I had completely missed, despite checking regularly.

Absolute ballsup on the marketing front Bethesda! Love your games, but saying nothing followed by a stealth release with little notice, so little notice that even your most stalwart fans might miss it (and have to wake their husband in the middle of the night to check whether it is OK to put it on the credit card), is not great marketing! In future, consider releasing information about release dates in advance, word of mouth is the best form of advertising, but it shouldn't be a great secret that a DLC has been released with no prior announcement, that I have to hear it second hand, when the news here a few hours ago was "still no news".

Please reconsider this strategy for future releases, because it comes across as a bit random and amateur.

Having said all that, thank you for the DLC. But your communication regarding its release was appalling, if even a stalwart fan has to be told by someone else that it's now available - get it together for the next DLC please - it should be me as the fan, checking these forums, getting excited, and telling other people about a new release - not the other way round! These forums could be a great marketing resource for you, but I might as well have been looking at the BBC news website 'funny video of the day' when waiting for a release date, because there certainly wasn't any more relevant information to be had here. Please in future give us more info, we don't just buy your product, we can help sell your product, so long as we feel that we are 'in the loop' when it comes to news about releases.

They need to engage a little better with their customers and I would ask that they learn from it, not everyone is interested in @Twatter, "I honestly couldn't give a [censored] what you had on for your toast for breakfast mate" is my view of it.

All they need is even a banner at the top of the forum stating that a DLC is released or will soon be available, a ton of PC players are still asking if it is out yet.
The coming soon one would have killed off the 20 thread long epic QQing which I myself was a part of.

I am not asking for anyone to be shown the door over this, just to take on board our thoughts about how all this has been mishandled and to improve things a little for next time around.
Thanks.

Alcohol and pormographic material will..



I'm sorry, that was a bad joke.

The way I see it is that if Bethesda can place a timed exclusive on their content for 38 days, I can put a 38 day timed exclusive hold on my money. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I look forward to playing Dawnguard on September 10th.

Yes, I like that so much I think I'll use it as my signature.

No long speeches from me this time. I've said enough on the subject.

Dawnguard will never be installed on my PC, neither will the next DLC installment as it will no doubt follow a similar path as this one, Xbox exclusive then no communication with owners of other platforms.

Bethesda do not deserved praise in any way for the mess they refer to as PR in the form of Peter Hines statements. They lost a customer in me for the expansions for Skyrim, if they continue in the same way they have been going lately, all future Bethesda products will be ignored by this gamer.

Best thing to do, is just forget all about Dawnguard, and the next exclusive content...
If you can't live without it, just wait for the first big sale, and pay $5!

Its good for me.. Since I don't like Bethesda and more and more I don't play their stuff.. The further away I am to going back.. So its like rehabilitation.. And been playing other RPG's.. Which are way better..
