Bethesda Softworks has very little to complain about this holiday season. Rage might not have hit on all of the cylinders that it could have, but The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim more than made up for it with its November 11 release. The long-awaited sequel has picked up numerous Game of the Year awards, including our own, and Bethesda also now confirms in a press release that more than 10 million copies have shipped.
In case that's too much math to think about for a Friday morning, that 10 million equates to more than $650 million in sales so far. Bethesda also notes that the mod-friendly PC version "outsold all other PC games by a factor of over three to one in the month of its release." Steam's Jason Holtman also confirms that the PC version of Skyrim is the fastest-selling release in the download service's history.
Not bad for a game filled with dragons that fly backwards and a law enforcement community made up entirely of former adventurers who were felled by arrows to the knee.

Killer game. I'm at over 300 hours now and I can't think of a single bug besides one time a Mommoth floated in the air. When a game is this massive I don't mind a few bugs, unless they are game breaking of coarse. I'm not a big RPG player, but this game is my favorite game I've played. I'm thinking that TES 6 on the next gen consoles, which means the PC version will be more advanced, will be killer, can't wait.

I love the game; it's definitely my favorite this year, but I'm playing on PS3 and the Lag is terrible. You've seen the videos...

idk. i bought the game hoping i could finally jump into the ES scene, but i just couldnt get into it. the game itself is amazing. the graphics are beautiful, 100s of hours of gameplay. plus mods (for PC) i mean the game is a masterpiece. and for the most part fixed the reason i couldnt get into Oblivion, and that was the horrible looking melee action. they did much better with the little action sequences you can do, and mixing it up from just swinging in an 'X' if you know what i mean. its not perfect, still feels like your swinging at air, no weight to the weapon, but deff a huge improvement. but for me, with such a huge game, i need to be sucked into the story/lore, and my tastes just arent into Skyrim lore. not sure why, i dont mind magic and medieval and what not. but i had no desire to read anything i ever picked up or listed to NPCs, much like i do in Fallout. so it made the game kinda drag. and that brings me to my next taste, and that is that i like guns. lol simple as that. dont really care for melee combat in games like that. so after about 10 hours or so into the game, i sold it to a friend. who is enjoying it from what he tells me. hes very busy and hardly gets to play it. prolly only has maybe a days worth in hours (24) but ya. just my story in the whole Skyrim scene.

Just a note: Bethesda gets better with every game they create. Now I can't wait to see how much they'll make with Fallout 4, due in 2013.

I picked this game up off the shelf and for some reason put it back and dodged that arrow to the knee.

I'm waiting for the article that has them saying, "it could have been more if it weren't for piracy."

I recommend everyone try the Blood on the Ice quest, it was featured in G4 article. It is probably one of the single most glitchy quests in Skyrim.

The whole arrow to the knee thing has got to be one of the worst and forced memes I have ever heard. Someone was definitely trying way to hard.

This game is awesome! stop hating the game for glitches! some glitches are entertaining some are bad and some are good. I have only seen an entertaining one and that was the dancing sabre. Bethesda deserves to have the money they made the game is amazing. Isnt it bad when my stepdad comes and walks by my room and asks what I am watching and I have to explain that im playing a game!?!? hahahah happy holidays!

You know what's sad, it's the modders that are coming up with fixes for Skyrim. Bethesda makes 100s of millions of dollars, but they can't even fix a arrow to the knee.

I love Skyrim! I've loved every Bethesda game since Morrowind. Their games are always full of bugs for the first few months because of the size of the open ended worlds they create, but after they're all patched up there is nothing bigger or better than a Bethesda RPG.They're all great Fallout or Elderscrolls. I wish Lucas Arts would let Bethesda make an open world Star Wars RPG that is similar to Fallout! Not like that stupid MMORPG crap TOR that Bioware made. The MMO part of that game should have been an optional mode so that you could play offline by yourself if you wanted. That would be a winning formula for Bethesda. A RPG that can be switched between single-player RPG & MMO RPG on the fly at anytime during game play. That would allow us to play alone or with friends when we wanted to without forcing us to play a different game.

Now that so many nerds have mastered modding this game and using its Console Command Window, I don't really believe most the junk I see in these videos as "bugs". its nerd manipulation.
