Discussing such things here is against forum rules as well and the mod's are annoyed as it is after the increase of such things. Lets not make the matter worse by starting such talk, Nobody is going to make progress with Bethesda here by getting suspend or banned from the forum just to make a point.

They probably are not, sadly enough. Would it freakin kill them to say once a week to say "were still working on it..we appreciate your patience"


This is a good idea. They cannot afford to not do anything, considering playstation will always be around, and they will want the extra money from console sales in the future. Maybe get Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear to do the story. He would roast them!

We paid an even steeper price. I am a player who wants to continue my journey, and not have to start another character on another console, or pc just to play dlc. I have both systems and i will never do that.

I'm not sure what that Linux is? All I know about Linux is that they make a cool OS that I was going to put on my PS3 before Sony took away that feature .

What I do know is that the HDD has to be in FAT32 format, at least the part where the PS3/Game info is stored for the PS3 to be able to detect it.


Discussing or making a movement for the petition is against the rules. Discussing the rage on the forums itself though is completely acceptable and talking about the sheer numbers of people that have vowed off Bethesda is also acceptable.

It's called the "Wal-Mart" rule.

That I assume would be because PS3 works on a FAT32 file system itself and doesn't recognise NTFS - You can partition a Windows PC with a separate Linux partition and set it up with a dual boot menu - Linux will only take about 5 - 10GB for the OS as it's a tidy OS that actually packs all its crap away when you're done with it, unlike windoze

Ever since I saw the Dragonborn trailer I am curious like others are, are we going to have full control over that dragon and more so can we fly every with it. I would like to buzz white run and scare the people with my flying suit case

I've used Linux before, but only dabbled with it. I primarily use Windows because it's easy out of the box. Though if I ever get back into doing more things with computers that I used to love doing (a lot of song mixing and creation, beat makers and such) then I might go back to Linux.

Hey, here's a cool riddle...

What do you get when to combine Windows CE, Windows ME, and Windows NT?


So much speculation is out there, but only one thing is for sure.

Nobody on these thread except maybe you and a few others really cares at this point because none of us are going to be able to use this DLC. Just saying, speculation about what something is when you're not guaranteed the ability to even have it, is just going to piss some people off or at the very least, turn them off to you.


\/ \/ \/ See what I mean?

This doesnt apply whatsoever in this discussion. Go to the dragonborn threads. Way to rub it in.

When I first heard about Dawnguard I agonised over whether I should play as Vamp or Werewolf only to be left disappointed and saddened when nothing happened, Then Hearthfire, hey I could marry one twin and have the other as steward and so not have to separate them, I started running round Skyrim picking up every book I could get my grubby little mits on for my upcoming library .... that never was - Now they tell me you can fly a dragon... really? Yeah right - I refuse to even raise an eyebrow until I have actual proof it's coming to PS3 ...and more than that, that it works (and they don't fly backwards into a mountain embedding both of us requiring a system reboot to fix)

Call me faithless and cynical - but also a realist

I think the release of the trailer happened because of a schedule somewhere at Bethesda that didn't take into account possible backlash from PC and PS3 users. In fact when you think about it, this whole situation just reeks of having been some poorly designed executed plan of some delusional higher-up with no clue how a large part of their clientele works.

Im with you. I am a vampire and i was looking very forward to playing dawnguard to see that story unfold. I also am a book hoarder and would like to display them in a home i have built myself. I will be very upset if my story has to come to an end with no dlc, since i expected to get dlc upon release of the game.

well lets face it bethesda only has one good game out there that works 100% and thats doom 3 bethesda fails and everything else only reason dishonored actually works is cause another game company is involved i should have learned from oblivion but no my mistake they will never get it right. i know im being harsh but i am very upset i mean elderscrolls series is very well thought out great storylines but that fails if game does not work right. skyrim has the most brilliant story i ever seen in rpg gaming. even oblivion had a amazing plot. but like i said its hard to enjoy a game that glitches to the point of unplayibility. and to not have a dlc for ps3 and 2 dlc are out and one on the way. seriously stop making dlcs for the time being and focus on ps3 issues. show some compassion to all platforms not just microsoft. like i said i know im being harsh but i am so upset i need to vent its not like i don't like playing your games i just want to see improvement.

Obviously, this isn't going to go away. IMO, Bethesda would limit future damage if they just started re-engaging with the PS3 community now. In the future, how would they deal with trade/gaming shows? What's the plan Bethesda? Image is everything. Community is bigger than a franchise game.

What is the actual problem with Dawnguard and the other DLC's for the PS3? Its been agers now, I really want the DLC now, and I think PS3 gamers deserve half price or somethin for waiting so long for a DLC!!

you want to spend you twenty dollar psn card or just twenty dollars burning a hole in your credit/debt card?? I have a suggestion Okami HD .

13 pounds* I want a serious answer not a stupid answer

If it (ever) comes to the PS3, expect to pay full price for it which would probably be $20.

Ugh.. Well.. Still, Even if I have to pay full price, I would still pay it, I just wish it would come out!

Just got home from work, and I'm not surprised we haven't heard anything more yet.

According to the employee I talked to, it's basically just a [censored] you to Bethesda for putting PS3 owners in this situation.

They're not going to give a discount for it being late and they shouldn't. Whatever the price is on Steam or XBL should be the price on PSN when it's released.

somebody woke up on the wrong side of the world today, I'm in the united states. I'm just making a suggestion on what to buy if your bored of waiting jeez

They should do a discount or free for the lack of communication, but they wont. It will be a full price "here ya go guys" like nothing ever happened

I am not going to call you Faithless You got a right to take things the way you choose, its not my place to tell you how you should view this problem. I do value your opinions though as fellow poster and respect them

Bethesda hasn't really explained the problem, but im willing to bet its because of the limited system resources Bethesda is having a quality issues with both the game and the dlc. With 512 mb of ram and an outdated file allocation system (fat32) performance is surely the issue, don't get me wrong the xbox 360 isn't much better, theyre both outdated and due for an upgrade. Still as Bethesda said its not Sonys fault, Bethesda messed up by trying to be on the cuting edge and instead they ended up on the bleeding edge.

Not to repeat what others have said, as I'm sure the following has been said at some point in this discussion (probably more than once), but just to point out a few things:

There have been a few people that have quipped that Bethesda "doesn't seem to care about this issue". Here's the brass tacks: they are a business. Anything that causes them to accrue less money than they otherwise would is going to be something they care very much about. They really, really want your money and will gladly take it if given the opportunity to do so. Consider that Bethesda and Sony are probably undergoing a rather contentious relationship right now, and for Bethesda to tell us what the actual problem is (which, from what I can gather from the outside looking in, is memory constraint issues), it may be a PR issue for Bethesda to do that. Those types of discussions probably have to stay internal. This is a very large company and a fairly large game studio with millions on the line here.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that what is being projected outside the company (silence) is not necessarily indicative of what's going on internally. I'm sure there is quite a bit of (heated) discussion going on internally right now, and a lot of it we will never be privy to because it's business. But saying that they "don't care" is naive from a financial standpoint.

Also, for what it's worth, supporting 3 different hardware platforms and testing all of it is a lot of work. I'm not trying to be an apologist, but it's important to understand that their undertaking is nontrivial.

Well, looks like Bethesda is going to continue their tradition of neglecting the PS3 copy of their games.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
I was dumb enough to actually believe you when you said the PS3 version was going to work this time. well played.

I have been very quiet about this issue for too long, but this is the last straw, I am pissed off.
Once again you have stolen from thousands of people, and once again you will refuse to remedy it or even apologize for it. You have no morals. lowly crooks
