Had to be the arrow sticking of groin for more than 5 hours.


However, it just goes to show, if ain't broke; don't fix it. Maybe enhance it a little. Even with a few minor problems and glitches Skyrim still wins Game of the Year.


Congrats Betheseda!!!!!!!

The bar has been lowered.

I had a big ice spike sticking out of my forehead for ages.

I wouldnt say its been lowered, Ive played a ton of RPGs, Ive been around since pong first came out. Skyrim is the State of the Art and more epic than most had hoped.

Of course theres always room for improvement in this type of game, I would focus on story lines and NPC/world reactions if I were to enhance the game.

The Ice Spikes are the worst for me, that and Lydia standing INSIDE me when I'm using a forge

best way to get rid of pesky missile that get lodge into you is switching your apparel or storing all your items in one container for a moment

Hahahahahahahahahahaha........ hahahahaha

Oh man, that was a good one. Needed a laugh before work.

sure it is, the award last night proves that. Its that simple.

And the one last week going to Zelda proves what?

Get over it, people: GOTY doesnt mean crap anymore, if it ever did... Its a popularity contest. People don't vote for the best game, they vote for the flashiest and the most hyped, or to prove a point.

Sorry, but if Skyrim is very fun, it is not a quality game. It is EXTREMELY bugged (gamebreakingly so for a lot of players including an entire platform), very shallow in both storyline and gameplay and fails to provide any challenge whatsoever starting in the mid 30, with just about any type of combat-related build, even on Master.

Now don't get me wrong, I adore Skyrim. The graphics and environment are extremely well made, and very detailed/complexe. The game itself can be very entertaining and exploring alone gave me enough hours of enjoyment that i'm happy payin for it.

But if the world is amazingly beautifull, it is also empty of anything of substance. This is not a GOTY game. It just happens to have a very popular IP and no competition. To truely be a quality game, it would need to be a tested and polished product. As it is, this is a live Beta.

I saw a Dragon launch itself into space the other day, it just flew upwards and kept going until it vanished from sight.

and the golden glitch goes too...falling mamoths!! mammoth cheese for everyone!!!!

-babababbab DA DUM ba ba baaaaa -I would like to introduce anothe nominee for this prestigous award.
There will be college of winterhold spoilers.



For the last quest when you return to the college with the staff. There is a random dragon attacking the college and it caused all of the mages Farandal, tolfdir and friends to drop down to the bottom of the college in the icy waters below there gone and the arrow for the quest is pointing into the river below the college. cannot enter college cuz of vortex

The 6 or so Loius Letrushes outside the Whiterun Stables is a heavy contender. One of them is halfway in the ground, he's really wanting to win.

I love that guy, he should be sayin "i have no legs!"

LOL That one might be my favourite. I laughed so hard!

The game is so full of bugs, that it isn't even worth playing, unless you don't care at all about completing quests. There are over 12 reported broken quests, so full of bugs, that they cannot be completed. This is so pathetic. I have been a fan of TES for 10 years, and by the time Skyrim had been released, I never imagined that they would still STILL be releasing games loaded with bugs. Not a few, but LOADED. And nothing is going to be done about it, unless they patch the whole game, and it becomes playable in 2013.

I would focus on the crippling lag and broken quests to enhance the game personally.

That's not good... it must be heading up there to bombard Nirn from space, Bahamut ZERO style!

is funny you say that, alot of people complain skyrim is so broken and bugged.. but... it's the least buggiest Bethesda game ive ever played, ive only crashed ONCE in 200 hours while oblivion i crash every 5 minutes and fallout 3 i can barely get to run properly for 2 minutes, as for ingame glitches Skyrim barely has ANY, the only one ive experienced myself is a giant launching me halfway to summerset isle and that was AWESOME!... the only other glitches or bugs ive seen were in funny youtube videos and they looked far from gamebreaking. I've had more glitches and gamebreaking BS in Call of Duty games.

Oh for Agatosh's sake just RP that you will never have any children.

Zangelin - either you haven't done any/many quests, or you're not really playing Skyrim.

Bethesda hasn't handled a game this poorly since Daggerfall. The GOTY award means nothing. The award is just a bunch of Hollywood. It is given out to the flashiest, fanciest new trend setting game. The bar isn't set any higher than vanity allure and pop media.

I feel like I was ripped off. I have been a loyal fan and supporter of Bethesda fpr 10 years. I have owned all of the Collector's Editions for their games, including Skyrim's CE.

And I am rewarded with Beth yet again, releasing a game that was too big for them.

Their entire philosophy is that quantity is more important than quality. They are a rich gaming company, so their edge with being able to make these signature style giant Bethesda games with pretty music, and open ended thrill, nets them massive amounts of profit.

And that money is all that they want. They don't give a crap about whether or not their games have tons of bugs. As a matter of fact, in the "making of Skyrim" dvd that comes with the collector's edition, you actually see Todd Howard and his cronies laughing hysterically at the bugs, as they are watching them on screen.

I actually had the horse that was pulling the carriage with me in it as a prisoner during the opening sequence glitch, and fly into the sky causing the carriage with me, ralof and ulfric and lokir freeze. I had to dashboard and start over.

That is absolutely PATHETIC. And I just told a true story.

What do I get for the rest of my first week's worth of gameplay after picking up my pre order?

Dead npc's doing the splits, randomly hanging from treetops. Npc's that I needed to speak to in order to start/complete quests.

Backwards flying dragons and broken resistances I can handle. No big deal. But broken quests everywhere? There are dozens of reported bugged quests on the uesp wiki. So many, that the quests are unable to even be completed.

Glitches, and silly stuff is one thing. But broken quests, and massive scale bugs like this are unacceptable. I would be embarrassed if I were the creator of Skyrim.

But Bethesda already realizes that most of the gaming world are ignorant people who just like to see the "ooooh, ahhhhh" stuff, like dragons breathing fire, and mostly hack and slash, getting a thrill out of being able to murder innocent people. Finding it fun to run around with no clothes on, kicking tables off of plates.

Bethesda figures that if they could give most of the half-[censored] teenage gaming world a game where they could do that, then of course they would clench game of the year in no ti,e.

Those of us mature, seasoned RPG players need to stop expecting anything more. Bethsda has no incentive to care about the amount of bugs in their games.

I meant to say, "kicking plates off tables". Apparently, I am mildly dyslexic.

But only mature, seasoned RPG players.

The rest of you - GEEEEYD OUD!


Funnily enough I've played it a lot and I have been quite lucky. I haven't had much in the way of game breaker glitches or bugs pop up on the PC.

Skyrim has also crashed significantly less (once or twice?) than Morrowind did (and still sometimes does when I reinstall it for some good old fashioned fun).


Not sure how I would have reacted but that made me laugh. I'd have probably laughed then and restarted. I'd only stop laughing if it happened all the time (or even half the time). To date it has happened approximately never to me.


It kind of weird funny you bringing up "getting a thrill out of being able to murder innocent people" because a portion of those mature, seasoned RPG players who play TES have complained about the fact the game doesn't just let them murder whoever and whenever they want (if they are quest related).

And puhleese. I have to ask how matured and seasoned an RPG player you are if you don't have experience with super the super dedicated hack and slashers who have been playing DnD since the first edition.

Really, generalization doesn't work well when one can think of exactly the same kind of people who are mocking who belong to the "mature and seasoned RPG players" camp.
