While I understand your frustration, not everyone is having the same experience. Skyrim has proven itself to be the most stable Bethesda game I've ever owned. Sure there are bugs and plenty of them, however none of them have prevented my completion of the game. As is the case with these thing, some people get bugs that others don't. I've also been impressed by the post release patching and contact regarding the PC side as out of all the formats, the PC is the one most able to fix these with the aid of mods and most of it during an extended period of holidays. I'm currently running the new beta patch and I've nothing bad to say about it. Speeds are up, a lot of bugs I was getting are gone, it's been a huge improvement.

If this was a year ago and we were discussing New Vegas, I'd sign my name under the first post.

And that's why I'd never want to be a game developer. By sure the game was rushed for the release date, but it was released to quite a lot of people in a working state. Unfortunately for you (like it was for me with New Vegas) you are not one of them.

You can always sue them in small claims court for goods and services not tendered. Get your money back at least. I agree, it's very disappointing to see a company not give a [censored] this much. Even EA has higher quality games.

You've stumbled on a sad truth. The finite nature of our existence on Earth betrays Bethesda's intended beta testing method. Which is, of course, if you let an infinite number of monkeys pound on an infinite number of keyboards for an infinite amount of time, eventually you'll have a bug-free Skyrim.
