It really does get to me when my friends moan about Skyrim being glitchy. Yeah sure ive fallen into rocks, yeah sure ive fell through the floor in whiterun but i dont think they understand this game is HUGE, it's not a small COD map, it contains the finer details.
Skyrim map is huge and in a nut shell it would be very hard to fix every little glitch in the game, I personally think people need to stop worrying about the little glitches and worry more about actually playing the game. Skyrim is a great game which is abnormally huge, bottom line is it would be near to impossible!

Please tell me what you think about Skyrim and if any strange things have happened to you (like falling through the floor in whiterun) also i'd like to know if you know any people who play first person generic shooters and moan about the best games on the market (skyrim, oblivion etc)
Thank you very much, jeazz

oblivion was bigger and they patched just about everything so it isn't hard

im not sure if it was hard but it must have been very tedious.and oblivion was out for like 5 years or so. they didnt patch everything in one month skyrim hasnt been out for a full year yet give it time please!

Oblivion and Morrowind were never patched to fully eliminate all bugs.

To say nothing of how Daggerfall was when released...

Skyrim actually hasn't been that glitchy for me. The only thing I get is the very rare floating mammoth (it's only happened 4 times since getting the game) and the invisible chunks of river.

People just overreact about some things, Skyrim hasnt been out a year and i suppose there will always be those randoms glitches even though they've patched many.

Meh when its a roller-coaster ride for me when it comes to glitches. Some of them minor others downright gamebreaking. I can forgive some things but when it comes to quests that can't be completed or even started those are unforgivable.

Skyrim has been freer of bugs for me than either Morrowind or Oblivion. This may be due, in part, to the fact that Skyrim has been rigorously patched. And I imagine we can expect a few more patches in the future.

Bethesda has really improved their patching from what it used to be. Which isn't saying much because, as PrinceShroob says, Bethesda used to abandon all their earlier games while they were still buggy messes.

I really do like bethesda, they always try there best (especially now) and the patches contain so much its outstanding.

This has been my experience too. Oblivion in particular crashed quite often for me. Skyrim only crashes very rarely. I am really impressed with how stable the game has been for me, on my first full playthough it only crashed once. I got the game later then most and was expecting trouble, having read the forums. But it runs incredibly smoothly and is very stable, it is really brilliant.
