Skyrim is getting huge sales numbers and perfect reviews everywhere you look, with shortages in some places, but suffers the same problem that all Elder Scrolls games have: It’s buggy as hell. Bugs, glitches, and exploits are no stranger to the series, but a rather crippling bug on the PS3 version has resulted in the game winding up unplayable when the filesize reaches a mere 5-6 megabytes.
Pete Hines, community manager of Bethesda games has said he doesn’t know if the latest patch will fix all the reported bugs, saying “We will fix as much as we can for your platform. I don’t know if it will fix -your- bug. Takes a while to test/fix/regress. Hang in there.”, he is also unsure of when the patch will be released. The creation kit to allow custom content and the bug fixes are both being worked on at the same time.
Even though it has been in development for a while, the testing a game gets from even the most skilled examiners in the industry is nothing compared to the sheer manpower of millions of gamers. Missing graphics and save files getting too large being the most common complaints.
I think the savefile problem is the biggest issue right now, as the game keeping track of that many details at once renders the massive world unplayable after a while.

Hahahaha oh brian, how pathetic. So are you saying that your brother lives with you at college? And uses the same computer as you? And who did you get this email from? Hahaha, and that’s a pretty odd keyboard lol, it actually makes grammatical errors instead of just misspelling words. I’m glad I read the comments, they were very entertaining. Hmmm.. Brian+Brandon+Joseph= Briandoneph? Yes, that is what you shall be known as from now on. Briandoneph you magnificent fuck! Thanks for the entertainment of your failed troll attempt. Good Day Sir!

Joseph… please, STFU. seriously. The creation kit IS coming out. Even if bethesda abandons modders (Which they won’t as they are what makes their games thrive in the pc division.) other modders will come out with one. People have already created mods for this. Meaning that if they took the time they could create something very similar to it and make it so other modders could create additional content. There are modders out there just as smart as bethesda that can crack how every piece of the game works. A creation kit WILL come out, whether by bethesda (which is more likely) or third party modders.

Ok, joseph. Then answer me this. WHY is it not coming out? more importantly. where is your PROOF? i’ve google searched whether or not bethesda has banned mods for skyrim (Which i have proof they haven’t) and have come up with NOTHING that supports your statement. Proof or GTFO.
