Getting bugs straight.

I'm going to start off by saying: I don't have Skyrim yet. I'm supposed (let's see if I can trust Gamestop here) to get my copy tomorrow. But so far I've been all over the Bethesda forums, Youtube and other random places. I've seen a lot of flaming about this game, bad textures, bad UI, FPS problems, etc. etc. First, there are 3 main things about Skyrim (one for each system) that really bring quality down:

Xbox360: The Texture Bug, this bug is apparently pretty bad among Slim users, it messes up texture scaling and causes them not to load when playing off of the HDD, my suggestion is to: Play off the disc, or if you've got a big enough USB drive, install it there. Bethesda is working on it. If you have an older Xbox, you should be okay, my father has the game and said it's amazing and he uses an older Pro version. Also, do NOT clear Skyrim's cache, the game pretty much relies 80% on cached data.
PC: While not really a bug, a lot of PC users are complaining about a really sh*tty UI, often saying it's worse than Borderland's. Apparently the mouse is laggy and hard to use. I haven't seen it and I obviously haven't used it but it sounds pretty awful, making you rely on WSAD to navigate. All I can say is, wait a couple days/weeks for a mod, or a patch.
PS3: This is the one I've actually heard the very least about, the only info I've got states that some users have major lag problems. No solutions or advice, but I suggest you start here.


But it's not all bad! I've also seen and heard a lot of positive feedback. I've seen some awesome videos/screenshots. Characters look amazing, scenery is amazing, so never fear, Bethesda will get everything right on track soon enough.

Khajiit!
