Please keep the thread spoier free.

You will see that I will have no problem with that

I thought I woud create this thread so we can share our opinions TESV. (Once we get it.)
It'd be interesting just to hear some of your opinions.

Once we get it, that's the right way to put it in my case. I loved Daggerfall, despite its abundant bugs. Then it took a few years, but then came Morrowind and I really liked it. Oblivion? Still ok, even if it was dumbed down a bit and 'consolified'. Another long wait and there came Fallout, just as dumbed down as Oblivion.

And after that Bethesda lost a customer. I could (just barely) live with the growing orientation to consoles. If I had any interest in console games, I would long have bought one. Probably the games for consoles are not made with people of my age in mind, but they are simply too dumb to keep me interested.

I also think that they are really getting lazy with the content. I always took my time, but I know some people who simply march through those games and then throw them aside. It gave me something to think when some people gunned their way through Fallout in one 24 hour session without having to squeeze in some time to sleep.

The last nail in the coffin for me was Steam. For one thing, I often use my notebook and only have mobile Internet or sometimes none at all. Mandatory register/update/DRM thingies have failed me one time too often and I don't want to have anything to do with that stuff. The last DVD that failed the registration was used for target practice and the guys who produced it will never sell anything to me again.

And, as a last comment: I am a software developer. Bugs don't really upset me, at least when they are taken care of. I certainly know better than letting someone's website decide wether or not I may play a game. Never trust a computer you have not (mis)programmed yourself. In case of Steam, I refuse to trust them too sweep my floor and certainly not with any more critical information. Not the licenses of any software, not my mail address and definitely not any banking stuff, as they would prefer to have it. Perhaps I should join the hackers. Hacking is probably more exciting than the games they want to sell me
