Step 1) Breath. You've already made a positive move by coming to the forums, reading about similar issues, and voicing your own personal concerns. By simply doing so you've shown your enthusiasm for the game and your desire to expereince the entirety of it. You have friends here. At least most of you do. If not, let me the first to offer you a hand. And don't go jump off the deep end just yet... When we all decide to jump, I'll let you know. We can hold hands on the way down. For now, try to make your posts rational and deliberate. I know it may feel like somebody pickpocketed 60 bottlecaps out of your wallet at times, but hang in there.

Step 2) Be sure to vote on polls. These are easy ways for forum admins to see what's going on. I know of at least one admin... he shot down my petition. By the way, don't use the word petition, it's a "flag" word that's sure to get their attention... petition

Step 3) Let others know. If you are trolling forums on other websites, send links to this one where people can come and voice their concern directly to those that are in the business of customer satisfaction. (at least we're all hoping) In my opinion, websites like IGN only react to what you say, they don't and can't ACT on what you say. Thats the ultimate difference. If you have friends that own the game, tell them to come, tell them to vote, let them borrow your internet to do so if need be.

Step 4) We all want the best ending don't we? So when you have something good to say, please come back and say it. It keeps hope alive for the rest of us. Keep coming back and offering new information, updates and reposts to let us know what, if anything, has changed. Or just to say hi.

Thanks to everyone that has participated so far and to those that are new, welcome.

And hey, even if Bethesda isn't listening, you know that I am!

Happy gaming, err... waiting.... whatever the case may be.
