Why was this not in the original product? Why do we have to pay $20 for this simple feature now?
Why was Skyrim even released? Even after update 1.6 it's an unforgivably unfinished game.
We get SPEARS? Yaaaaaay... I'd rather stop LAGGING.
Don't get me wrong, new items, weapons, spells, shouts, perks, quests, locations, followers, and greater benefits to being a werewolf and vampire are GREATLY appreciated.
But only if the rest of the game's STITCHES WEREN'T SHOWING!
Followers still get lost or trapped,
Briarhearts are still overpowered as hell,
AI is still [censored],
Sheathing weapons while running still doesn't increase your speed,
Changing your control scheme still breaks follower commands,
Still no running jump,
Still can't harm children (but we can now EAT people in 4 different ways),
Still can't kill Thonor Silverblood, Maven Blackbriar, or Delphine, the three biggest [censored]s in the game,
The Kill Paarthurnax quest is still broken,
NPCs say the same thing OVER and OVER...
Inventory items still get LOCKED IN,
Important dialog options still get LOCKED OUT,
At the worst times, attacks and shouts still LOCK UP,
And unbelievable lag from loading BUSHES will still cause the game to LOCK DOWN.
I would never do this, NEVER. I would NEVER release a game in such a crippled condition, chase it with 6 updates that should have been on the disc I bought in the first place, and then shovel out $20 worth of DLC for a game that still CRASHES at least twice a day.
This offends me as a GAMER, and as a GAME DESIGNER.
And you know what the worst part of all this is, Bethesda? I LIKE your game.
But it TORMENTS me. I LOVE the environments! I LOVE the freedom! I LOVE the stories! I LOVE the battles! WHEN THEY WORK!
If your game just svckED I wouldn't give a damn, but instead it's turning me into a [censored] masochist, and I feel like I'm just running headlong into a brick wall repeatedly making these threads and barely seeing any DIFFERENCE!
I've heard time and time again that "We at Bethesda want to make Skyrim BETTER, not BIGGER."
*Bethesda releases Dawnguard DLC*
...
*throws hands in the air* ...I'm done.
Let me elaborate on two things:
1.) THE PURCHASE OR QUALITY OF THIS DLC IS IRRELEVANT TO THE THREAD.
You people are [censored] morons if you can't tell the difference between "BOOHOO, Dawnguard doesn't have X features I wanted, why'd they make this?" and "What the hell, Bethesda, why are you releasing DLC already when the game still needs patching?"
2.) UNANIMITY IS NOT ACCURACY.
To suggest otherwise is a fallacy. Screw you, oHORIZONSo. Screw you.
Also, I'm going to start collecting usernames for my blacklist.
