If it was PvP, then yes, it would be their job to make sure there were no abuses, but it's not. And if you look at the rest of my post, I completely agree that they did a shitty job balancing the game and it's their job to do it right in the first place. If I want to play a sneaky character, I should still be able to have a challenge. I want to be an alchemist, but if I do it right even master mode is easy. That's their fault.Nomanslander said:
I'm saying don't do it for when people completely break the game then complain about it. Abusing the save system to keep from failing pickpockets, then complaining pickpockets are too easy is stupid. I have zero sympathy there. That's the equivalent of hacking the game then getting bored because you can't die. It's not their job to make sure you don't break your own toy, just that it works when played with properly.
The only spots I'm not completely sure about are in-game easy fixes. If you trained your sneak to 100 against the stormcloak at the start that can never die, that's your fault abusing a minor glitch. But on the other hand, there's no reason they had to make him 100% invincible, or let him give experience. That was an abuse I found out on my very very first play-through. I went down the wrong path, couldn't go back, so I tried to kill him to show I was a battle-born imperial. Then I found out he couldn't die, so crouched a stabbed him 50 times in the back and got my sneak super-high just to see if I could. I quickly restarted, because I decided it wouldn't be fun starting out that strong (and really, you have to go out of your way to break it like that) but it should have been an easy spot and an easy fix for them. But anyway, yes, you have the right to break it, but no, not to complain when you went out of your way to intentionally do so.
