No, you haven't played hundreds of games that were bug free, you've played hundreds of games where you've never triggered a bug (or at least never noticed it anyway). That's a significant difference. All software has bugs, that's just the way it is. What you want is a game where all the commonly occuring bugs have been eliminated and most of the uncommon ones as well. Even the most rigoriusly tested software known (shit like nuke reactor control and the software for the space shuttle) came out at only 99-point-something percent bug free... which sounds okay until you realise there are hundreds of thousands of lines of code.Xavier78 said:
I'm hoping for a modified build of the Rage engine. It certainly makes the most sense.C95J said:
Someone did try to tell me Bethesda were going to use the Gears build of the Unreal engine... which left me with an unerasable mental image of spending most of the game crouched behind chest high walls, tossing spells over the top.
Are you kidding me? I'm halfway tempted to break into Bethesda studios right now and steal the damn thing.
Absolutely not. The only one I've ever played was III, and I found out all I need to know about the developer's production philosophy from that game. I'd heard awesome things about that game, and it's the only game that I've intentionally broken the disc. One less copy of that garbage in the world just made me happy.
Unplayable. Buggy. Ugly. Poorly voice-acted. Mess.

Honestly, I'd be a very happy boy if Skyrim was little more than a Morrowind type world with Oblivion's combat, with the possibilities of what Daggerfall let you do.
I mean, Oblivion's fun combat, with a block button, not needing to worry about die rolls in the background (it was excusable for Daggerfall, almost everything was 2d, with the ability to climb walls and all the massive villages and towns. Then add in All the weapon and armor types Morrowind had, with the ability to fly over towns and the like... Just add in a decent 3rd person camera, with a story that has the scope and storytelling of a JRPG, and I think you'd have the perfect game.

Yes. Special Edition too. Then all the DLC. Then I'll have cake, then finish the main story. The day after I'll start doing the guild quests, cause I'm sure they will have them.
Absolutely. I loved Oblivion. I don't think it's the best game ever, but it's probably the best experience I've personally had with a game in recent memory. Most addictive, most immersive, most pleasant world to just get lost in.
I think I'm going to disappear off the face of the earth for about six months playing Skyrim. Conservative estimate.

Really? 58 pecent of people here like The Elder Scrolls that much? That's surprising.
Well, for me, highly unlikely. I'm just not a fan. I might try it, but fantasy RPGs are just not my thing.

Buggy games? Dude, you're thinking of Obsidian. Bethesda is Valve compared to them.
Beth isn't too bad relative to the rest of the market. Their games are just so big the bugs pile up. That, and the shoddy non-10-minutes-till-death-famous-person voice acting.

If you found Oblivion fun, then what's the problem?HentMas said:
There's no such thing as a game without bugs, and Skyrim is going to be using a new (hopefully better) engine.
I don't think you actually have done your research. FO 1, 2 and New Vegas were neither unfinishable, broken, or programmed by Bethesda. FO 3 was certainly a finishable game, and was the only installment in the Fallout franchise that Bethesda made.
There simply isn't enough information about Skyrim to decide whether or not I'm going to buy it. All we have to go on is that it's in Skyrim, which means Nords and snow, and they've also hinted at dragons. Very little has been explained about the story, graphics, or gameplay, so making any decision at this stage in development is a premature decision.
