Bethesda critical of Skyrim patch

Text: Bengt Lemne

Will treat future update with greater care.

Bethesda have published a comment on the latest patch released for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a patch that wrecked as much as it fixed, particularly on Playstation 3. This is what they had to say in their defence on the official website:

"We've also realised that with the millions upon millions of people playing Skyrim, we need to treat our updates with greater care. If we get too aggressive trying to fix a minor issue, we run a risk of breaking something larger in a game like this."

"After the holidays, we'll continue to release regular updates for the game - through full title updates, as well as incremental 'gameplay updates' to fix whatever issues come up along with rebalancing portions of the game for difficulty or exploits.

We plan on having a lot of these, not just a few. Overall, you should expect updates to be hitting the PC and Steam earlier and more often, as that's a process we control. Console updates will follow, as they must be certified and processed by those manufacturers."
