No offense but tech support is not the same as software engineering.

If you are a subject matter expert in the target system, the libraries involved and fully understand the implementation details, that is a pretty sweet place to be making project plans from - those plans would include a timeline.. Basically the Bethesda PS3 coders know all necessary things intimately. Perhaps that Sony has been purportedly called in is an indication of just how bleak Beth's PS3 team views the situation.

Why can't Beth give us updates? I think its more a question of why won't Beth give us updates.

I guess because they know DG will never be satisfactory and there is only one more update to provide: that DG is not coming. The longer they can play out this drama the more they can appear to actually be doing something.

If they were actually doing something then weekly updates would probably be pretty easy. I don't think 30 minutes of the lead PS3 dev time to prep a summary report thats passed from the PS3 team to GStaff, which is subsequently reviewed, demystified and appended to the sticky is that resource intensive. Especially when you're talking about a fan base that is quite rightfully pissed about continued substandard treatment.

Beth may have the most brilliant PS3 team on the planet for all we know, but they have been given a difficult task - make Gamebryo run on the PS3. Only one studio has managed this before and they were notably absent from the opening credits.

As for PS3 support, I think we really saw the end of support after 1.4/5 time frame. I mean they left a patch out their where potentially thousands of people had the water glitch and never bothered to update/fix it. That is notwithstanding the delay between 1.1 and 1.4 patches, then the blackout after 1.6 was released for XBox/PC.

Personally I think it is outrageous to hear that a dlc will never come out for PS3

If ur having issues with the dlc... Refine it......

Instead of throwing everything in that they want too... Only put in what should have been in the game already.

I believe the whole vampire thing and crossbows are probably their biggest headaches right now and possibly the quests too..... Instead of all of that.... Sort of make entirely different dlc for ps3.
Example:

Things that should already be apart of the game...
Dragon weapons...

Additional stuff that possibly should have already been apart of game...
Personal Dragon Mount (possibly fight with it as well as it fights by ur side)
- also to go with that, be able to choose type of dragon and name it and possibly customization)
Adoptions
Buy land for house... But in doing so just plant an already made house....
More places for your spouse to live with you...
More armors...light armors I feel more cause I don't feel theirs as cool looking armors for light...

Just take bits and pieces of the ideas you have or from the DLCs already out and make it a slightly different dlc for ps3
And add maybe one of two small things other platforms can't get just cause otherwise it would feel to ps3 users that your neglecting them....
Also with just this first release... Should make it free to ps3 just to apologize in a way....

Also I would suggest to not throw anymore dlc content out for a while to any other platform until this ps3 issue has been resolved... Cause honestly when I saw that Xbox had gotten their second dlc before ps3 even got one... Felt like a slap in the face and felt disrespected and felt u kind of we're saying f@&$ you to ps3..... And then started seeing stuff about thoughts on third... And that put a real bad taste in my mouth since it felt like Bethesda was selling out to Xbox..... That's all that had gone through
My head earlier..... Cause that's how I understood what was happening and how it made me feel at the time....

A dlc should be released to ps3, and if all that can happen is the weapons... Than I'll take that.... Over nothing..

Hope my ideas and suggestions are heard.... Tried to be as pleasant as I could cause I am one of the few quite frusterated about this issue... To the point where I don't even want to play the game anymore since the stuff i want... I cant get and makes the game unplayable for me... which makes me sad cause it's my favorite game... Trying to hold out as long as I can...

The last thing I can say... Is about whatever new elder scrolls game is coming out... Which I hope is Elsweyr cause the khajiit are my favorite and would love to play in their homeland... But if this stuff for the sony systems happens just like now... I will be unable to continue supporting Bethesda

Just saving you all some time.
