How big is the chance that the game will be delayed?

That's hard to believe.

Todd already stated several times that they are very sure with the 11.11.11 release date, and I believe that 5 years of development is enough, and the game looks very finished in the gameplay videos, so now they are probably bug killing, and refining/finishing stuff.

Besides dates, if it has to be delayed, then it should, I would rather have a almost perfect game later, then a very buggy game early.

 

An absolute nightmare would be a console release and a PC delay, like with AC games. I hate that, when I want to know something about the game, it mostly spoils the story, like a random guy did with AC:B, and my ending was ruined.

 

Bethesda? Killing bugs?

 

Yeah, right. We'll need an Unofficial Skyrim Patch. It's ridiculous that the modders have to pick up the slack because they didn't wanna fix their game to crash less.

It's not ridiculous. If other large RPGs had such easy ways to be modified they'd have unofficial patches too.

 

Anyway, when asked about the release date Todd seems confident they'll make it. It doesn't appear that they'll hit it because they're so invested, but because they're on track.

Not ridiculous at all.

 

TES games are ENORMOUS. Vast open worlds with almost infinite number of places bugs can occur, Even if they delayed the game til 2013 I still would be surprised if they fixed ALL the bugs.

 

They just don't have the time to play every possibility and test bugs, especially when bugs don't always occur all the time or are triggered in specific ways that you wouldn't expect.

Urgh, I hate when on forums it is decided that users have to be wary that there may be 12 year old idiots around so you can't use the f-word. Seriously? I'm sensing a mini Hollywood PG-13 going on around here. There are few things I hate as much as I hate PG-13.

Somehow I don't think they are going to move the date when they have a contest with a prize for parents who have a baby on that day and name it Dovakhiin. People probably will, too. It will be out. It might need a patch soon after.

They should speed up the release date to around 13th August 2011, so I can name my baby Dovakhiin and claim the mystery prize!

 

It's no mystery, you get 2 Steam vouchers for all Bethsoft games. One for you and one for the kid.

There is something else as well. On the Bethblog detailing the competition he quotes "the rest of the loot we'll keep as a surprise"

Back before the 7th generation of gaming, I would say that perhaps a delay would happen, HOWEVER, with the advent of patches on console games, I would argue that games in general will have fewer delays with patches being easy to put out. 11.11.11 is the release date, and unless something internally happens with Bethesda, we won't see that change.
