Skyrim and teleporting mannequin monsters.

[grimsprice]

Yes, you all know instantly what i'm talking about. Bethesda games and their characters. Those wacky, plastic, fidgety, teleporting dolls that are nearly impossible to hit with a bow or even a gun in fallout.

This has always been a massive problem with bethesda games. IF ONLY their NPC's and monsters didn't fidget the way they do maybe i could get a little more immersed in the game....

Well, ladies and gentlemen. Bethesda heard the cries of its forums.

They are trying their best to fix what might be the worst part of their games.

Lets hold out a little hope that they can fix this.

I think..... Game Informer is broken right now....

Just add in a touch of sticky aim like they have in most console FPS games these days.

Teleporting? Fidgety? Huh?

I would describe them as moving with a stick up their asses, but not the above.

Worked with mozilla after a pause... strange.

They're getting someone else to make a bug-free engine for them?

I think the shooting mechanics were better in Fallout: New Vegas, but it was still awkward. Glad to know their improving on it in the new Elder Scrolls.

At first, I thought you meant this...

Spoiler: Warning: There's a high percentage that this will haunt your dreams.

...only with the ability to teleport. In which case, I would instantly piss myself ten times over.

EDIT: The image will spoil your playthrough of Amnesia: The Dark Decent if you haven't beaten it yet.

What the FUCK is that?

...They got someone else to make the -buggy- one. Why would they trust someone else ever again?

Mannequins creep me out... even more so than clowns.... they freak me out... i hate going clothing shopping.

New Vegas was made on a reworked version of the engine that was used for Fallout 3, so no, someone else did not make a different engine.

They didn't make that engine is what I'm saying. The Gambryo engine was created by what is now known as Emergent Game Technologies. The engine also was not the buggy bit.

Bethesda on the other hand, made the mistake of putting together about a million 3rd party softwares into their game, which caused a lot of the bugs as they had an SDK to work with to make them play nice. It worked for some systems...but made it buggy to others. ...That's just the nature of software <.<

So.... there is no solution to the problem, then? Nothing short of a complete failure of a game will be enough to get them to stop dicking about with all the crap they put in.

THAT is an enemy from Amnesia.

OT: Non-buggy TES? I'll have to see it to believe it. Dodging the Uncanny Valley? I need proof. Bethesda's word isn't good enough.

Nobody complained about the UV when looking at pre-release material of Oblivion, and they praised the Radiant AI as much as they did now. Though the RAI failed, if I recall correctly.

It's difficult to not buy into hype, at times, but this isn't one of those times.

Nah, there's a solution. ..Use different software. Which they are, they aren't using Gamebryo for Skyrim. The Creation Engine was created internally, so no SDK to work with, they can just change the engine to make everything work nicely. And I believe they're using less third party software.

They are trying! don't worry!

Damn it, stop getting me excited about this game! It's getting harder and harder to remember that it's just going to a massive dissapointment if I lose myself to the hype, with half of it being promises they don't keep and the other being BUBAR (Bugged Up Beyond All Repair).

Thanks for spoiling that for my playthrough, thar.

And yeah, I would call the animations bad, but I don't recall any teleporting.

That would be one of the monsters from Amnesia: The Dark Descent. They're pretty terrifying.

EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to the punch, so I'll just say this: "What he said."
