I've seen quite a few of these threads, but I will go along with it. Thank you Bethesda for making great games (not just Skyrim) please carry on producing these games/DLC and you can have my money.

[Nikki Lawrence]

A thread just like this was made yesterday.

Apparently it was a necessity to make another. But still, thank you Beth, even tho I'm mad at Todd for not coming to the midnight party I was at where he said he was going, but instead showed up the following morning

Bethesda don't deserve any thanks. They're not a damn charity, they don't want to help you, they want your money and with the minimum effort.

There's no need to make sure that the disappointed playerbase don't hurt Bethesda's precious feelings.

Minimum effort? Theyve patched this game more times than they had both Oblvion and Morrowind in the first 3 months of release.

How does the game lack depth. It's far deeper than a lot of mainstream games. Sure it's been streamlined, as most games are these days, it's just what earns money. However I've spent hundereds of hours in Skyrim and will very likely spend hundereds more.

I could go on indefinitely but I'll cut it down to a few points:

1. Awful, infantile writing with little to no character development: For our example we will take Farkas, a fairly important NPC. What do we know about Farkas? Practically nothing except that he's the dumb one, as he and everyone else love to bring up. The vast majority of NPCs only have one characteristic, which will be all they drone on about at you.

Bad dialogue in general is everywhere, e.g, in the opening segment, Hadvar/Ralof will run straight up to a wall, despite there being an obvious, lit path rift in front of them, and will say "This doesnt go anywhere". No [censored], Sherlock.

The Journal is but a fragment of it's past. The quest lines are short and often full of plotholes. Most quests are very unimaginative, and those are the ones that are luck to not be fetch quests. I could go on.

2: Removal of many more spell effects and skills: Burden, feather, a variety of summons. All gone for no good reason. Acrobatics and Athletics were removed because Bethesda couldn't be bothered to make them good (what about falling attacks, climbing, vaulting, flips, rolls etc.?). Hand to hand was removed wen it could have been folded into one-handed with fist weapons but Beth couldn't be bothered. And so on.

3: No degredation, no throwing weapons, spears, interesting different Melee weapons, crossbows until Dawnguard, battlestaffs, Halberds, wakizashis etc. Complete lack of difference between equipment.

You get the picture.

[Marcia Renton]

I've thanked them before in these threads and who knows if any of them ever see any of this.

Anyhow, thanks Bethesda for all the entertainment over the years. Countless hours spent in TES and also Fallout and still going strong. Looking forward to more, that's for damned sure. I'm going back in there now after I grab a coffee as I got a Dwemer ruin that needs playing through....

[Petr Jordy Zugar]

That's one good way of kissing the ass... what you hoping for BETA?

i'm sorry if this sounds harsh but the amount of these topics or even reply to topics that revolve around "thanks bethesda" "i love bethesda" simply annoy me when last week they were slating them off for having bugs and glitches in there games!

I'm just wary now that every single thanks on these forums is for a beta and well if it's not even intended for that then i actually applaud you because you're one of the good guys and have my sincere apology on this reply but i just thought i'd let my thoughts out.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I have no need for a the Beta of Dawnguard. I will admitt that i have opted for it. So have many others. But like many others, in No Way am I bothered if I get it or not. I have more than enough money to pay for it.
I saw this comming before I made this thread.

And just to add, I was in the shower while I thought about this thread. I was more inclined to wash my hair than to beg for any codes.

My goal is to make an Un-official Official Thread for "Thank You" 's.

I hope this thread is still here long after the Dawnguard DLC is released, and when future TES games are out.

[Far'ed K.G.h.m]

There's a thread for this ...

i agree with almost every thing you said except the part with "minimum effort." They put a heck of a lot of effort in this game. There is so much content and the world is beautifully hand crafted. However, i would have like to seen some of that effort put towards more of hardcoe gameplay like having your own hold and needing to build it up with hundreds of thousands of gold but that's just one opinion and building up an army to go conquer stuff or have stuff like spell crafting, ect. Anyway, its clear that they put a lot of effort in this game and on that basis they deserve a pat on their back and my 60 bucks plus the money they earn from dlc.

That's shrewd way of looking at this, was beta ever mentioned in this thread except by you. Please take a chill pill, no one said "Thanks, can i haz beta now," no they did not.

Thanks, but isn't giving ideas how the game COULD be better show you care about the game? In a sense? Which would mean caring would be a higher level of gratitude then thankful wouldn't it?

They're plenty of thread probably like that, but this one is show we appreciate hard work, flawed hard work, but they're ironing out the flaws. I mean if you work months, even years on something to then be bashed, critised, and/or otherwise by a portion of your fanbase, wouldn't you consider quitting or giving up in the slightest. Not to say everyone hates, some offer constructive critism and other things, still the hate would get to you.

Hell, I've upped my goal of making this thread a 'Pinned' Thread.

I want the Team to be able to see this and smile.
I know The Team browse around Threads now and then, such as Vsions.
I want to see that Hero in here too!

[Sarah Evason]

If a game designer wanted to do the least amount of work well then he can go to capcom nethesda and co are pro of pro guy who wrote the they do minimum ya GTFO!!!

I can see where you're coming from and i totally agree with you on everything you're saying but with the amount of these reply's and threads "Mysteriously" popping up now that beta access has been revealed it's really hard to tell which people actually mean it and which ones are begging for code's i guess it's just bad timing.

I'd like to say i'm sorry for my assumption and i hope this thread stay's up for a long time because at the end of the bethesda deserves the praise it gets with the amount of effort they put into games and i have nothing but high hopes for dawnguard.

dream on, besides i don't know what forum you've been reading but I've have seen plenty of "thank you" threads. So get over yourself. A topic to be pinned is something that is of epic proportions in terms of subjects or topics which this is not.

[christelle047]

Thank you Bethesda!
I've spent hundreds of hours in Skyrim, which is much more than I can say for any other game. And yet Skyim still amazes me as much as it did in November 2011!

[Manuel rivera]

Thankyou. Thankyou so very much. So many hundreds of hours of my life have been spent playing TES, and I have enjoyed every second.

thats exactly what came to my mind when i read this, this is someone who wants a free code lol.

[Cassie Boyle]

for the record i do thank beth for the hundreds of hours i spent in the game.

[Brian LeHury]

Well you sare Sadly Mistaken.

But NO you simply don't read so next time take a minute and think before you write...[censored] keyboard warrior

Lol keyboard warrior? That's funny. I'm going to have to steal that.

[Jade Muggeridge]

Just to keep the Stone Rollin';
This is a Genuine "Thank You" thread. Not a svck up thread.
That goes for all who want to use this Thread as a "svck Up" thread.
This is Purely for Appreciation Only.

[Dan Stevens]

Thanks ES for putting so much hard work and effort into the PS3 version.

[Christina Trayler]

Thanks ES for putting so much hard work and effort into the PS3 version.

Nice pic, thanks for the laugh.

Seriously though, Skyrim is an awesome game, just needs some work on the PS3.

[Ashley Tamen]

Bethesda will always have a place on my gaming systems, my heart, and in my video game magazines.
