This is the exact reason why I'm not buying Skyrim for a while. If I hear some extremely good things about it or a patch comes that sorts everything out I'll buy it on the spot. If not, then I'll wait until a deal on Steam comes up.

Seriously. In a month or two this game will be amazing. Well worth the additional wait.

Have you tried editing the .ini file?

I have yet to see truer words spoken on these forums. Your first paragraph is very inspirational.

Grateful about what? I payed more for this game than any other PC game I've bought in the last year, yet all the PC centric options are WORSE than those cheaper games. Something's wrong with the equation. The day I'm grateful for shoddy UI, controls, and graphics options, is the day I get lobotomized into a Bethesda zealot like you. We payed more, we should get more. The PC version was an afterthought, and I'm letting everyone know that.

As for the game itself, that's not what this thread is about, so don't bring that into things. The stuff I mentioned directly detracts from my overall gameplay experience. Especially the mouse issues and the compass.

To the people that say that there is no reason to complain, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Any good game nowadays has these simple things fixed. It's blatantly obvious how bad of a port this is. How hard can it be to implement a couple of simple things such as Vertical Sync options, proper X and Y axis for the mouse, proper Field of View, etc.? Really? Maybe half a day of programming if not less? It's obvious that they did not spend ANY time whatsoever testing this game for the PC. Just take a look at the PC section where dozens of people were complaining about sound issues in general and the game crashing at launch. Do you really think that they would not have noticed that if they even tested a couple of different computer setups? Honestly? That's just naieve and stupid. Like the OP said, an AAA-game from a multi-million dollar company should NOT have these small issues. These things aren't even things that should be implemented later with patches, simply because they are so simple to fix. I can't even comprehend how they let this happen...

Add: I can live with all the small mistakes I ran into. Small mistakes in quests, a bug here and there, a couple of typos in books I read...it's a huge game, of course there are going to be game-related bugs, but saying that the reason it's this big is a reason not to complain about the things listed above is ignorant.

How would he know if he didn't like the game unless he bought it?

You make absolutely no logical sense...

If he'd waited a while he would have seen these threads and then made his own decision about whether to buy it or not.

It's funny how he talks of everyone who disagrees with him as being a brain dead zealot, but he seems to be the one irrationally frothing at the mouth over minor issues.

I am a redhead and am very offended by this remark, however I am on the darkside so...

Seeing that the ini settings ARE the game settings themselves, then there's not really an issue is there? I mean c'mon, I can understand if you were on the 360/PS3, but I do agree that $60 is a bit steep, however, back when all we had was snes, you had to pay $70-$90! FF3 (6 in japan) was $89-F****n' dollars and Phantasy star IV was a whompin' $100!! It's natural that a software company would keep their prices on par via cross-platform, and if money's the issue, you could've easilly waited for the game to depreciate a bit, as PC games are known to do...MUCH more than consoles, as there are 16-bit games right now that command a 3 digit price tag!

disagree with the unfinished..
its a console game,and whats there is all a console gamer wants.

beth is dipping its snout into the console trough,simple as that.

right now they are working on dlc,and leaving it to the modders to fix the pc version.
we are the wife whos passed 40,they wanna a divorce so they can hook up with a younger model

A decision based on hearsay is not "his" decision. Similarly, he is entitled to an opinion, and telling him to be smarter and figure it out is nigh useless. Yes, you are entitled to an opinion as well, but that doesn't mean you spout illogical nonsense and blame others at every opportunity. Tone it down.

Shouldn't this thread be in the PC issue section?

Anyway my preordered PC copy is on backorder - so I'm left to playing the PS3 copy I have which works fine - (my PC copy is for modding)

So doesn't the PC version have video settings? Isn't that the same issue Rage had?

Hence why I created this thread, but you conveniently ignored my other post that told you that.




I'm not saying that about anyone disagreeing with me. I'm saying that about the people who are telling me that I should fix these myself and that Bethesda did nothing wrong. But, hey, zealots cannot see past their blinding love I guess.

Because I'm going to go pick it up for the xbox in about 10 minutes.

After Fallout New Vegas, I swore to myself that I would never again get a PC game on the first day of release. I'm not going to wait years until something like Borderlands for $7.50 or every GTA game for $13 happens to Skyrim. I'm just going to sit back, play Oblivion, wait for the defining patch and listen to everyone's opinion.

While I agree, we're not allowed to talk about that, my last thread got closed for it. We can't mention consoles as a cause or anything. Hence why I said "unfinished", which, it is. Between the bugs, the UI, the controls, and the graphics options, it's very clear this game is not done yet on the PC.

console games are for re***ds and no I wont buy skyrim even thou I owe all the predecessors

What is wrong with the compass?

ummm yes you are, I disagreed with your comment about Skyrim being the bare minimum and agreed with your mouse problems...yet you irrationally called me a blind zealot.

*** Looks back several years to when Oblivion was first released ***

Same sorts of things were said back then, and yet many years of PC bliss were had...

*** Looks even further back to when Morrowinf was released ***

Same sorts of complaints about interfaces were made back then as well...

Nothing new to see here...

Bethesda did do something wrong. They should have included these in the options menu, but they didn't, I understand that. My question is, do you really think that's a problem serious enough for you to suggest that people don't buy this game?

I don't see anyone saying that Bethesda did nothing wrong. It seems you're just mad because some people are capable of finding the game great despite it's fault, like we all have to do with everything else in life.

So far I'm having a ton of fun! The graphics options are fine in my opinion, I adjusted the mouse look sensitivity and learned to not use the mouse to navigate menus in the first 3 mins.

Nothing the op states is game breaking. Imo.
