After playing first DD I have brought a simple request, but I like to explain why with a question "How come they not notice so MANY glitches in the game until after realize date?” Now I am not talking about minor ones that some person spent 3 hours trying every little trick with moving about or dropping or moving items to see what will happen, then go to forum and brag about it. No I am talking about major bugs like for as an example in DD you couldn't get past a guard to hand in a quest item unless you throw a personal teleporting stone in a room (which most would not think of).

I then have another question; do game testers go through the game or just skip most parts when checking? But then I realize why the glitches are never fixed before the release date. It’s their public Release time, Its when they set a date for the game to be release to the public but when time draws near and they have so much work to do, they then cut a few corners which is cutting off checking for bugs or fixing them and know they fix it later and people would just download it from the site (which to some people who live in England or other countries would consider hard based on prices of internet connection by their server provider).

I know glitches can go unnoticed but some bugs are really so noticeable that makes you really wonder about the testers and programmers are doing.

Now my request is please don't cut corners in making the game, check for the glitches even if it means extending the release date, because many players want to kick the game testers for not seeing so many glitches. And please fix the major bugs so people don't have to wait a few months afterwards for a patch. I know there always will be glitches but having ones that stand in your way from going further into the game DOES make it difficult to enjoy when your forced to wait for pathc or end up going to a spoiler site to get a walk through to get past a glitches.

I don't see that much bugs. I know several people posted the same before you but I simply don't.
Though you might be the first to say it POLITELY. I personally thank you [Linked Image].
But welcome nevertheless. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

Good request, but wrong address, I'm afraid. If it was up to any game developer, I'm sure none of them would release their games without the proper testing. But release dates are rarely (close to never) up to the developers. It's the publishers who make these decisions, it's them we should try to convince not to push the developers...

Thank you, you may call me a geek or call me a weirdo but i follow a almost forgotten gaming code and it goes something like this "Just because your evil dosen't give you the right to be rude".

I be around, I post if something intreasts me and i have to put my two copper worth in.

Safe travels in these harsh times my friends.
