What if Skyrim is awful?

[retyopy]

Seriously, what if? What if it sucks? What if it's all been hype? WHAT WILL WE DO?

 

[mrm5561]

turn it back in for saints row 3 or assassions creed.

 

[Varitel]

I won't notice as I am so convinced it will be good that when I play it, my mind will block out all the bad bits.

 

[w9496]

Then I will laugh.

It's a Bethesda game, so it might have a ton of bugs that cripple the game. I'm also expecting 4 or 5 different voice actors, along with 25 different faces to go along with them.

Then I shall weep. For days. And then hope against hope that the modders can rescue me from my misery and despair.

That's about a thousand-to-one chance, though. No way Bethesda is going to drop the ball on this particular franchise.

 

[retyopy]

turn it back in for saints row 3 or assassions creed.

You could do that? Just... turn it back in? No tears, no slit wrists, NOTHING?

 

[retyopy]

You mean like every other Bethesda game before the mod community makes it playable?

Well... Yeah, actaully, come to think of it.

 

[tacotrainwreck]

I think I'd go on with my life, and would presumably have gained a whole lot more time to spend on other things.... I sank a LOT of hours into Morrowind when it came out.

 

[werty10089]

This game will most definitely suck. My life away, that is.
Or suck my brains out.
Or suck away any chances of having anything similar to a social life for the next three months.
If that's what you mean by suck, then I agree with you.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

Impossible. The mod community will fix any problems that it has. If you own it for console, well, that sucks for you.

 

[Kopikatsu]

I'll say 'I told you so' and then go...something.

 

[Zhukov]

The world would keep turning and I would only notice because of the seething shitstorm that would subsequently erupt on these forums.

 

[skywolfblue]

Not buy it.

Then play Assassins Creed. (well I'm going to play AC regardless)

 

[Ralphfromdk]

Play MW3 and BF3 even more, with all the time I don't have to put into Skyrim.

 

[Forbearance]

It will suck, don't worry. I suggest playing with a pile of sticks.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

then it will be Dragon Age 2 all over again. The divided opinions and flame wars I mean.

 

[lovest harding]

Awful in the way that people describe Oblivion or awful in the sense of Vampire Rain?
If the first, I will still love it.
And as for the second, I love Deadly Premonition. It'd have to do everything so poorly that it was actually unplayable for me to dislike it. I mean. The game would have to be unplayable. I seriously doubt (at the very least) that the exploration aspect would be any worse than Oblivion's (and I personally love Oblivion).

I still play Oblivion entirely unmoded and find very few game ending bugs or horrible travesties (although I have run into plenty of bugs, glitches, and freezes) that everyone talks about. Mods are great, but I have never played a Bethesda game so broken that it couldn't be enjoyed without mods.
