All software is broken on a level commensurate with its complexity. Skyrim is very, very complex.

Well, speaking from a developer and artist's standpoint, I can tell you that there are likely differences in how the 3d assets are stored between the two games. You'd have to write a converter to pull the old Morrowind or Oblivion assets out and update them for placement into Skyrim's engine. Bethesda has said many…

Apple always promises the moon, and we forgive them because they usually give us something in high orbit. Did anyone think they'd be able to deliver on mastering the nuance of spoken language?

Of course it LOOKS like water from here, but...

Real women, either.

Let's see raised hands for the next Elder Scrolls using Rage's IdTech 5.

Yeah, seriously. Word got around about that "Dovakhiin" asshole.

I've dropped suddenly to the desktop maybe 6-8 times since I started playing, and I'm now 100 hours in. I've seen dragon skeletons inexplicably fling themselves off the Winterhold bridge and fall into the abyss, only to reappear in the courtyard the next time I visit.

Why buy the cow when you can take all her armor off her for free?

Try taunting and waving your private parts at them.

Yep, and by the same token, Heroes VI, a series I've followed since the original game, made me look for a pirated copy for the first time in over a decade. I ended up buying it anyway after a sale on Amazon, but the DRM is a bitter pill I'm forced to swallow every time I start it up. Ever since I got burned on the…

Seconded. Author: show us the money, please.

Predicting the future is such a slippery slope. Why do so many people think they can do it with such precision? What superpower have these people developed that allows them to take in all the knowns and unknowns and proclaim, "This is how it will be," and in an epic leap of hubris even add, "on X date".

My cat already does this, but it sounds more like this: "mmeeeeooooOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!"

No. I've seen that, and it wasn't pretty.

The first erroneous conclusion that UBI and other distributors make is that 1 pirate converts to 1 sale. If someone pirates your game, it's because they don't give a crap about your game. On the other hand, if your game kicks ass, chances are people are going to want to pony up the cash to pay for a nice, pristine,…

With Salvatore, McFarlane and Rolston involved, this will be worthy of my attention leading up to its release. We'll see what the preview articles look like.

Writing an article about hating Skyrim is the hardest work any Kotaku writer's done all year. I tip my hat to you, sir, even as at the same time I give you the finger.

OMG, the names of the signers are hilarious. Sample:

Revolutionary France, of course.
