I've played every single game that Bethesda have given unto our controllers, keyboards, whatever and loved every single minute of it... until the downloadable content comes out, where by the might of every single religion's god they are doomed to be ridden with bugs. I mean, I've dealt with flying characters and being trapped in invisible walls in Oblivion, my gun staying in the air and running into a pack of deathclaws only to find out my gun is 300 feet behind me shooting at nothing in Fallout 3 and more. I've even dealt with corrupt saves in every game due to DLC items (such as the infamous Tenpenny Tower 'troubles').
But, the fact is, this takes the absolute cake. Dawnguard is officially in my eyes the worst DLC that Bethesda has ever pushed out - I can't even fight a legendary dragon without the entire system freezing up. Or the system locking up when I go to an area which has been modified by the DLC. Or the insane framerate drops when that vampire [censored] uses magic ALL THE TIME.
What annoys me the most is that I applied for the beta test for Dawnguard when it was first opened, and I felt that I would do it justice because I've been a beta tester for hundreds of games (maybe not a whole hundred.) and I used to work for a company who did localisation testing for games here in the UK. But it seems that Bethesda just handed out the beta test to people with the intellect of a brahmin (see what I did there?) and expected them to be able to 'beta test' the DLC. And also, it seems like we've PAID for an incomplete product which is full of bugs and glitches, and going by Bethesda's track record there's a fat chance of a DLC patch.
I have never been this disappointed with anything. And I wish I could get a refund, fat chance of that too.
Please feel free to vent as I have just done. It feels good, man, trust me. Vent away!
