Skyrim - PC BUGS

 One of the best games in a long time yet at the same time so frustrating

I can't say enough of how great skyrim is. I've spent every waking hour almost since the 11th just playing it. It's an absolutely amazing game, yet at the same time due to major technical issues probably one of most broken games I've played for a long time. I'm going to go in a lot more detail about it in the video review, I'm in the process of writing right now. It should be up later this week/early next week. 

But this is more detailing the bugs I've experienced since playing it. Most of them are unacceptable in any game, and really ruin the experience of what is otherwise a fantastic game.

I've played it both on PC and PS3.

PS3 BUGS

The biggest and most irritating issue on the PS3 is the frame rate. Sometimes it slows down to the point, where the game is completely unplayable. This isn't an isolated incident. It's something everyone has been experiencing. Also graphical glitches especially before installing the day 1 patch. Going to the city of windhelm is interesting to say the least. you get greeted by flickering textures and greyed out areas. Stability is an issue too. The game crashes quite a lot locking the ps3 up completely. Such poor frame rate is unacceptable on a console game, it really was like playing it on a pc which couldn't handle the game.

PC

Some of the PC bugs are far worse. with unfinishable quests and the stabilitiy is just atrocious. One quest especially springs to mind. Without going too much in to detail. Theirs a quest where you have to find this guy in the Ratways in Riften (this by the way is a main story quest not some side quest) You get there and theres no speech whatsoever you can respond to him but you don't know what you're responding to since he isnt talking. Even with subtitles on you can't read them they flash up too fast. There is a solution to this however. You need to extract the sound files using a bsa extractor that it's missing in to the data folder. If you don't know how to do that theirs a link here to download the actual sound files http://www.filesonic.com/file/3510536384/sound.rar

Just place the entire folder in the data folder in the Skyrim directory. So that one is easy enough to fix. There's a lot of other little bugs that aren't important enough to really mention. In a game of this size and complexity there's going to be some. 

But the bugs I've mentioned really shouldn't be present , and makes me wonder if this game was tested at all, and leads me to believe that the game was rushed and would have clearly benefited from another few months in development, and testing, I really don't see why the people spending the best part of £40 on the game should be the ones to test it, and have there experience ruined by companies rushing products to market.

I'll be detailing this more in the review, and although I love the game, these things can't be ignored and it's going to suffer from it. It's also the first game I'm scoring out of 100, which I'm going to do from now on.
