I've always enjoyed the elderscrolls games, however I have found it not last as long with Skyrim.
I do love an open world RPG's, especially those of the medieval like theme.
I just can't find myself getting into the game as much as 'Morrowind' which was my favourite.
Yes it looks impressive, it looks better with mods as per usual of course.
However...

- It started with the crashes caused by bad memory management. Thankfully the community fixed that quickly.
- Then came the fear that every patch or update they did would break something else, which so far they've managed to do every time. Most annoying - Elemental Resistance.
- Generally huge list of bugs, from game mechanics to quests, it is littered with broken or patch-broken or kinda works. I can't progress is some major Quests.
- If you make the choice of cross-platform a game, at least spend some time optimising for each platform. It's clear they did not, It shows.

This game series made it's name on being a PC game, It's the ideal choice for this type of game, especially with the legendary community of modders whom make these game so great in the after-market stages per-say. The Buzz created for the series was on a level Beth, could not do or at least not afford, their players did it for them. Unsettling your primary demographic which made you popular is how most brands end up going down hill faster than you can say "do do". They did this when they shifted their focus to the console instead of the PC.
The 'fun' begins now the console games are starting to cost them money with each patch. Yes that is why patches are so infrequent, it's because, every patch comes with a huge fee ($40k apparently). You'd think they'd be more careful with the testing of their patches, but apparently not.

Don't get me wrong I have no problem with the game being available for the consoles, I just strongly believe the porting should of gone PC -> Consoles. The optimisations should of been to make the PC the primary with the consoles to be a optimised version due to hardware limitations in the current generation of consoles. Just like any game that was made popular on a console, I would most likely be annoyed if they suddenly made it work primarily for the PC and port back to the console. It's a principle that urks your customers and tarnishes future sales. Sometimes big business' just see many of us as sheep, but sheep still know a cliff when they see one and will not go near it.

Many have already said it and I'm sure it just been seen as an empty threat, but the next in the series I won't be getting at launch (I have always)... I'll wait for it to be properly reviewed; If it it ends up as another console ported PC game, I just won't bother getting it.

I bet instead that you will get it however,and so 99,99 % of the members here -even the "constant whiners" .

Tes and Fallout are addictive

For the record,the consoles -especially the 360 - represent the large part of "casual gamers" - therefore they will always be "privileged" - so you've to deal with it or simply wait the next generation of consoles and keep your fingers crossed for a good porting

You can choose to believe it or not. I do however limit myself to 1 game a year, due to... well personal reasons. I work a lot.
So if they continue down the path of bad console porting, they are off the list. As a developer myself, I can't imagine they find this acceptable example of their work.
Elder scrolls Games has for many years been that choice by default. It's not going to be by default next time.

Yeah, I guess. But it doesn't feel like a long time. I've probably spent more time on some NES games (namely Mega Man). I currently have more time in Audiosurf (which only cost 10 bucks), and I'm not sick of it yet. Maybe single player RPGs just aren't my thing. This would be the first one I've played in a long time. And my first TES game.

Cannot enter the "Understone Keep" in Markath bug is preventing me from playing Skyrim and the freezes, crashes, and black screen freezes when I try to enter specific areas in Skyrim is preventing me from playing the game at this time, I own the PC version of Skyrim.
