10 Things Nobody Wants To Admit About The Elder Scrolls Games

5. The Game-Breaking Bugs DO Get In The Way

Skyrim was a mess upon its release, ruining players’ experiences with the game and destroying any semblance of immersion.

For some, glitches and bugs aren’t always a problem – because they assume the developers will eventually get around to patching them – but, is that really good enough? Purchasing a product should guarantee a degree of functionality, and releasing something which is essentially broken is downright unethical.

In small doses, graphical screw-ups can be forgiven – sometimes, they’re even amusing – but game-breaking glitches are a separate issue entirely, causing the game to crash, and forcing players to restart their adventures constantly.

Skyrim was especially culpable, but every major release in the series – and Fallout too – has been riddled with technical problems, some of which have been downright hilarious, and others painfully frustrating.

Fans might not want to admit this, but the Elder Scrolls is a broken series – technically speaking – harming players’ experiences by rushing unfinished games out for release and fixing them only after the problems have become apparent.
