Actually all versions of the game still have a built-in game ending bug called the A-bomb. For some reason after a lot of hours the animations stop working and you can forget playing further. The community solved it, but no word from Beth.

According to wikipedia Brahmin is also a caste in Hinduism. The cow-thing sounds more plausible.

So, the game is not about kiting things around until your AP bar recharged enough for you to finish off the enemies? Sure if you stand still and let yourself be surrounded you'll probably die fast, but a bit of kiting and everything is right in front of you. Worked well enough in Oblivion.

To be fair, you could have expected it. They always avoided answering questions about this.

I'll buy it if the game costs less than 15 Euros and there are a lot of mods that fix the issues I have with the game at this point.

Oddly enough the top 10 moments they chose are all things we have already seen in the various previews. Is there really nothing else in the game to choose besides what we already know, or are these really the highlights?

I'm honestly interested in what the people who toted this and similar phrases will say now that it has been proven that most of the negativity was justified.

About the screenshot I am mostly wondering where the bloom went. Do the Swedes get a bloom-free version, or is this just the result of the low quality scans? I'd much prefer less bloom than what we have seen so far.

Good for them that they preordered the game, but do you really expect them to tear into the game if it is bad? At most I'm expecting a lot praise, some veiled criticism and a lot of "I don't know if I'd have on the same".

Seeing as how Fallout 3 has an kind of world map I don't know why they didn't just do things exactly like in Fallout and do away with the whole quest compass. It would both make the map much more useful that just a way to select a quick travel location and could remove one of the biggest...

Part hyperbole, part the language from the preview and part the fact that the writing in Oblivion was terrible and predictable in all quests. Even the best quest line of the game had a twist that you really couldn't help but see coming. Sure, I'd love to see an intricate story with an ending...

Is this really a kind of "perk" in the game, or is this part of the epic novel style of writing the previewer uses. I really don't like the idea of keeping track of sleep status and giving a bonus for using the base they force upon you seems wrong. Great. Five minutes into the game and they...

Most likely. Although murdering the sheriff is so predictable that they probably put that in the exceptions table. Then again, there have been previews that mention that you can take over the job.

That sounds like they are using the same three day cell reset they used in Oblivion. This makes the whole "72 hour karma reset" a bit more logical. After 72 hours they just reset an entire cell such as a city. Most variables will be back to the way they were when you first entered, except for...

From reading the comments under various previews I am convinced the "casual gamer" WANTS this kind of cheat mode. Tactical for him is whether or not he will wait the minute it takes for the cheat mode to be at full power again.
