You DO know what Bethesda HAS communicated. They blame themselves for not getting content for DLC. They WERE working on bringing it forth. They were NOT going to comment on it until they had something. You also know this has been going on for months with no workable solutions.

Now we get into assumptions. You can assume they are still working on it and have made little progress. People speculated by this 3rd DLC that PS3 users were in the mix based on a line in a patch. Still nothing.

My assumption is when there's a complete blackout, not just to PS3 users but also almost no communication upon a huge, likely centerpiece DLC for this game like Dragonborn they are being sheepish about statements because they not only have nothing but they are done working on the PS3 potential content. It's like you are back in high school and you took your Dad's new sports car and wrapped it around a telephone pole, came home, and your parents are gushing about your straight A report card you flipped on the counter for them to read. It's a great report card, maybe your best ever, but you know once you try to talk about it, your Dad's going to ask where his car is.

That's where the story is now for Bethesda.

http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3/Sony-and-Bethesda-Skyrim-DLC-Official-PS3-request-for-answers/td-p/38731595

Actually read most of the posts in that thread, interesting dialog for the most part imo. A lot over there seem to be on the same page as some of us here. My favorite bits were on page 1 and then again on page 3.

On page 1, you have the guy pushing the idea(which i truthfully never even considered) that Bethesda is being mum in an attempt to keep stock prices steady. Or to avoid an SEC investigation of all things....

And then you have the fellow on 3 who pretty much says that saying nothing until Bethesda can fix the problem is ok. Which is like saying its ok to shoot a guy in the leg-as long as you are going underground until you've finish 4 yrs undergrad, 4 medical, residency, etc, etc; and can patch up said dude's limp when everything is said and done.

Good stuff :biggrin:

You know I'm wondering how frustrating it is for Gstaff and some of the others caught up in this mess. Basically taking a verbal beating from us on the behalf of their employers and not being able to do anything about it. :wallbash:

Though not Hines so much..... not sure why( as I am sure he is being told to zip it as well) but something in me enjoys that he might be having a bad time with this mess....


... But then again Im an a** :devil:

I don't think anyone at Bethesda is having fun with this issue...except the boogieman

So I won't go into this too much since I sent him a PM but I would like to respond to Rohugh's comment. The second we post anything critical of Bethesda or the moderators they either choose to delete it or in this case respond with belittling comments such as "...obviously from your post you have no idea about - what else do you have no idea about?" and "Your post is still here isn't it, ill informed as it is." Why does it have to be this way? You, as moderators, have a choice. You are put in a place of leadership not because someone though you would be good at policing these forums but because you were active community members who displayed a sense of professionalism. Why then do you not stand up for us? We're on thread #34 for a reason, because people care about this game and this company and we are tired of all of our requests for communication being completely ignored. Why is that so much to ask?

Lastly I would like to add this, you asked me Rohugh "You know what we say in our forum how? More wild guesses?" I know because I took the time to PM Leydene months ago and ask her about how these forums work. Maybe if you stopped making so many 'wild guesses' about me you might realize that I am saying something of value, something that you ought to here. You proved to me with your comment that you honestly don't care. Care to prove me wrong?

At this point Bethesda says nothing and Sony says nothing. For me, the dots are connected. We know Bethesda is choosing to not comment on angry PS3 users. The question I have is this: Is Sony going to also not respond to PS3 outrage?

Personally? I've got a nice computer AND a PS3. I actually have Skyrim on both. I've waded through Skyrim very slowly. I doubt whether I'm 2/3 through the main quest mostly due to time constraints. I usually download content AFTER I complete the main quest so I have not even downloaded the DLC on my computer. Now, it's not even about DLC for me. It's totally about how Bethesda is conducting themselves when they err. Just come clean. Act like a business that intends to honor itself with it's customers. Everybody's a champ when the awards are being passed out. The true measure of a company's character and acumen is how they handle problems that inevitably are going to occur. And that ALWAYS goes from the top down. In the long run it defines the company beyond anything they produce.

Nothing Sony can say other than that they are working with Beth to fix the problem.

Anytime I think of Bethesda and Elderscrolls now and I think of vampires, the two associations that come to mind are the broken witch cure in Oblivion where you had to play the remaining game as a vampire unless you did the workaround and now the inability for them to even deliver Dawnguard with Skyrim.

Not good

Or they could say they are no longer working on this with Bethesda and as far as they know it's unfixable. End of story.

Hey, that's the likely path. Can someone get through to Sony and ask someone there if they are still working with Bethesda or whether it's over?

I submitted through Sony support.

I can only imagine Gstaff is having quite the time of all of this. Everytime that man speaks you can almost feel how much he is hating the non-disclosure bit of his contract.

I can not believe what I have jusr seen - a mate of mine has Skyrim for PS3 bought earlier this year but definitely BEFORE there was any mention of DG release, and guess what...... His cover is different from mine some kind of 10/10 thing on the front, but more importantly NO mention of DLC on the back and the in-box guide Main Menu page - NO Downloadable Content option

My menu page says: Continue - New - Load - Downloadable Content - Credits

His says: Continue .- New - Load - Credits

I cannot believe this - Does this mean Bethesda KNEW there was never going to be ANY DLC for PS3 way before they even mentioned Dawnguard???



Wooohoo did someone mention whips and chains? yes please me first!!!!

Wow, that means that they spent cash to retcon the PS3 packaging. That is so shady it is almost funny.

Any way you can get a picture of this to me (here or in twitter)? It would be very helpful.

Sure can - might be for a day or so before I go over again but I'll definitely take a pic when I'm there and get it to you.

Can we send pics here? I can post on twitter and you can link or DL no?

Mine is like his. Bought the game within a day or two of release. That's weird. Can you snap a picture of your menu screen? ETA: Let us know when you have the pic. I'd like to see it.

I don't see why not. I constantly link youtube vids and google pics, people link twitter pages to point out what's going on with bethesda.

I've never seen anyone get in trouble for it, unless you do something obvious like soliciting, posting porm, things like that I think it's fine, as long as it remains on topic.
