Nothing went wrong with the patching, please quit blaming it on anything just so you don't have to accept the fact that when things change, some things fail. I'm not refering to you specifically, I'm refering to everyone that's been pissing and moaning since the patches came out. When a game's code is altered, andthing that relied on that old code may not be able to recover and adapt to the new code.

Run a Morrowind game with a mod, save, then unload the mod (especially the mod that locks doors after hours). Morrowind will try to adapt and, though this modular method of code replacement is VERY efficient, it NEVER fully recovers and almost always has errors from that point on, unless a new game is started. It's been this way since game designers began releasing patches and will continue until code becomes completely modular.

In many ways the seed generation system used by older games (Civilization II, Dungeon Hack, and other randomly generated games) had the best idea going. The game didn't alter the save, the game generated the save and the save altered the game from that point on. When the game's code was altered, the save's variable remained the smae, but sometimes (in massive patches) would alter something else, showing that even the most efficient methods STILL HAVE THEIR FLAWS!

Instead of whining about all of the flaws that are similar to so many other games in existance, THANK LARIAN for the wonderful game base, awsome music (I admit, I've converted the OGGs into MP3s and have them playing throughout my house lately), great graphical setup that personally in many ways rivals Diablo II... and ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THE GAME RELEASED LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO AND STILL NEEDS SOME WORK!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry if I've vented in the wrong place, but after the onslaught of players with their threats of "throwing the computer out the window" or "returning the game"... how do you think the developers feel? Do you think they want to continue working for the people that hat them for doing what they can? No, they're working for those of us that are taking a work in progress and having fun with it.

PS: To anyone that has complained about the problems, if any of you ever hope to be beta-testers in any way, prepare to be disappointed. This is what you'll get.
