Everyone is so determined to get a code, but do half of you actually intend on reporting bugs? i've seen it way to often that people want to get in a beta just to play it sooner than everyone else and they don't care about reporting bugs or any issues in the gameplay. I have been in 8 beta testings and would generally report no less than 10 issues a day. Beta testers shouldn't think that they are there just to play the game and see if they encounter a bug. A good beta tester should go in and try to break the game. When I'm in a beta test, I have a pen and paper beside me at all time to record everything about the bug/glitch/exploit. It's about making something awesome even better. Please, if you get into the beta testing, don't waste all of your time playing the game. Looks for issues, dig for them, do skill/spell combinations that you normally wouldn't do. TRY to break the game and report it.
Yeah, that is very very true, and there are benefits such as loyalty from Bethesda, they might even remind of bug testing skills to rely on in every beta test.
It is making a difference to the whole game, to the future who is going to play the Expansion.
