Hi all - I've been reading these forums and lived with you guys for months now and decided to join following this latest debacle from our beloved Bethesda.
I play on the PS3 and defend it with a demonic will, not because I am a fangirl ( I am a gamer first and foremost) but because apart from my PC it's the only reliable gaming console I have. I used to own an Xbox, 2 of them actually but following their rather spectacular deaths and ensuing insurance claims, I decided not to replace them but continue on with just the PS3 and PC.
I have loved the ES story-line and games from their very beginnings on the PC, and originally bought Skyrim to play on my high spec gaming rig only to find that my rather expensive game controller wasn't recognized by Skyrim and no amount of software or drivers was going to make it work.
I am disabled and my disability prevents me from being able to play with wasd + mouse but still desperately wanting to play Skyrim I made the, as it now appears, extremely foolish mistake of trading in my PC version (steamcode intact) for the PS3 version ... well suffice it to say that 8 Louis Letrush's, umpteen console freezes, framerate drops and numerous other bugs later I'm more than a little peeved at the lack of patches and started to regret my earlier decision to switch.
Ever the optimist I even held out great hope for some sort of DLC coming to PS3 with this weekends trailer tease ... that is until now. Now I am tempted to gather every game (PC or PS3) with Bethesda's name on it and take them back to the shop for a trade-in.
Bethesda I am so disappointed in you! I have been a fan for many many years and even put all the previous garbage behind me trusting and believing all you said about Skyrim on PS3 only to be completely let down - If DLC for PS3 isn't released soon, or at the very least a decent explanation as to why not then I'm afraid this is where you and I part ways.
Sorry for the long winded post.
