I was so hyped for Skyrim.

Have you never played another Elder Scrolls game or Fallout 3? Pretty common knowledge that their giant worlds are buggy. They are usually decent at realeasing patches that fix at least the major bugs.
Read the thread please before replying, I am getting tired of having to pay to play Bethesda's games just to bug test them for them. If you all accept these EXTREMELY buggy releases then I understand why Bethesda do it because they know they can get away with not paying people to bug test their games.

I am aware of this my friend, it is just the arrow bug and the texture bugs are some pretty general easy bugs to find. It is not a complex turn of events that was overlooked by the QA department. My question is with bugs so simple to find did they QA test this game at all? Or are they leaving it to their loyal paying fanbase to QA test the game for them?

i have not encountered the arrow bug yet, the only thing that i have encountered that was negitive was that all crimes seem to merit death in the judicial system of skyrim

What I was thinking considering he mention Bethesda be upset and stuff.
Obviously if he was a fan of Bethesda he'd know how many bugs are usually in a game like this on release and that they patch it within a week.

Stop crying and complaining and go play the game you're upset you bought or return it. Tired of people complaining the first day. Had they been complaining weeks or months after release that is something else as the Beth would have had time to fix and patch, but day one? Gimme a break.

Oh and if you have such a problem with the patches and you find them to be quick fixes, please, patch them yourself or make your own game considering how well you know how fix things in games.

That sounds strange, but the arrow bug someone was playing for 10hours with the arrow stil in their head from 10 hours ago. These sort of bugs would have easily been found just due to a normal playthrough, and the texture bug which makes things look DISGUSTING. Did bethesda QA test this game at all? These are not complex issues and hard to come across. They come across in a general playthrough.

Such stuff has been found. But bugs have classifications like Urgent, Very High, High... (or Prio1, Prio2...). Those things are not important so they will be fixed later or never. ;)

Texture bug is not a priority? Many people on 360 having a game that looks like crap?Lol okay. But i understand quest breaking bugs are the priority.

No it isn't that I am sure Skyrim is amazing and my hype was justified. Bugs and glitches were not in my hype train. They currently ruin the game in my opinion. Buggy releases seem to be getting more and more common and i think it is the worst way to screw over your most loyal fans, the ones who buy your game day one or have it pre-ordered months in advance are stuck with the chore of finding bugs for them and trying to find your own workarounds to things that shouldn't even be there in the first place.


Let me quote myself for you, from the post of mine that you commented on:

Bugs? You don't deserve them.

Yes i'm sure you did as Bethesda always uses their loyal fanbase as unpaid QA testers, and in this thread I am saying I am tired of it and they should fix these bugs before releasing on a ''cool'' date with alot of elevens. The people who i feel sorry for are the ones who defend Bethesda and enjoy being used as an unpaid QA tester being unable to finish quests after handing over £40.
