jjjaaannneee Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Bethesda put on their blog that the construction set would be released this month, but they only have a month left to do that. Does Bethesda have a good track record when they make these kinds of promises, or does it seem like we may have to wait longer than they promised?
Mordyn Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 They seem to be busy dealing with PS3 bugs, so I really don't know, as they didn't communicate since 1 month ago.
Guest Donkey Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I never take much stuck on relase dates since they can always be postponed. I think it would have been better if they said it will be released when it's finshed. that way no dates are set. Kind of like modders use themself so others won't be able to rush them because they said it would be finshed already.

Once you stick a release date on something, even tentatively, people are going to expect (read: demand) that it be out by that date, and if it's not, there's a whole lot of butthurt.
DorkDiva Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I doubt it, maybe if we are lucky, like really lucky it will be out some time next month, that would be my guess.
prideslayer Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Zero confidence. Fingers crossed regardless. I don't read any skyrim blogs, wikis, forums, or anything like that -- so I'm relying on people here @ LL to let me know when it's out..
Morigetsu Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 wouldn't hold my breathe if Bethesda can't keep up to their word about it. But its all worth the wait
DorkDiva Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I agree,haha hopefully we are able to at least open up the program and it stays open and running for a minute or two. If the CK is going to be as screwed up as Skyrim was in its first bit of life, then bleeeeehhhhhhh....
demongoat Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 well it took a year to get a working CS for Oblivion/SI v1.2 cause the first one v1.0 was buggy as hell. I'm more worried about how stripped down it will be and what kind of problems there will be with this workshop being "integrated" 0.o and what it will mean to modders. What are the limitations going to be' date=' what all will the community have to do in regards to utilities which some are already working on. No clear answers from Bethesda so far. [/quote'] i'd just wish that if they fix stuff in a later version they don't break other stuff and never fix it! i mean what is it with them and never fixing well known problems with their software? they are worse than microsoft.
ReMeDy Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 My guess is they release it on January 31st... the bastards.
Blackbryre Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Well, from what I can make of the sea of rumors, the 1.4 update for PC could include the CK. My guess is that they're spending more time on the updates than the CK, 'cause in the end, the updates directly effect the entire Skyrim consumer base, rather than the ~30%(guess) of PC gamers. They did post a poll on the bethblog about whether or not users would utilise the CK. That gives me some hope that they'll make good on their word.
polluxval Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 its supposly already finished. so they just need to release it.
Dee383 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Personally I Think It Will Be Down To Steam As To When The CS Will Be Released Because Of Its Intergration With The Steam Workshop ...
DocClox Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I'm betting on Jan 31. If the consumer version was working, we'd have it by now. I think they'll take as much time as they can so as to squash bugs before release.

[/quote'] But it's their fault for saying something and then making something different. I think they just put that date on the table to calm down PC community. At the moment it was announced was like ''yeah! only one month left''. Now it's like ''where the fuck is the CS?''. I think it will be released with the next patch, and that means no CK till PS3 problems are solved. Besides, I prefer Bethesda fixes everything in the game that needs to be fixed instead of the CS. I'm talking about bugs on missions, bugs on characters, bugs on terrain, performance problems, optimization problems... So that, I think it will take a few weeks for the CS. Maybe I'm wrong and the patch is almost there, I don't know.
Guest Donkey Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 don't get your hopes up on the pathes, if it is out too soon you can be sure something new will brake. That is the bethesda way fix one thing brake something else.

birdo23 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Because of how it's worked into Steam, I think we should take Valve time into consideration. Here's an example of how Valve time works, from their own wiki. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

prideslayer Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 The valve workshop already exists and has for a few months, I doubt it's going to require anything too special from Valve for the Skyrim CK integration. Also the guesstimate about 30% PC users is a bit off the mark it seems; according to vgc it's sold ~5MM for X360, ~2.9MM for PS3, and ~1.6MM for the PC to date. That's 17% on the PC, and I'd guess 10% or less of those are interested in (or aware of) the CK and community created content. They're focusing on bug fixes and dlc certainly, and the CK takes a fairly distant 3rd to those I'm sure. That's how it should be, and I'm not really holding out for the CK to be released "on time." I'd rather it be late than rushed, if that means game bugs fixed and CK issues ironed out first. Valve-Time might be an issue for some people, but Bethesda could learn a thing or two about making proper modding tools if they "pulled a valve" and forced their team to use their own tools, as Valve did with HL2.
Daguy Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 As far as i'm aware, Steam doesn't disclose its sales numbers, so i'm assuming you are speaking of boxed copies? I dare say the majority of PC sales were direct from Steam. I'm getting somewhat annoyed at how long its taking to get the CS out. I haven't done a 'proper' playthrough of Skyrim yet, wanting things like a hardcore mode and the first sex mods.
gregathit Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Latest VGchart info: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/ 9,656,315 Total units to date sold xbox= 5,068,157 or 52% ps3= 2,936,076 or 30% pc= 1,652,082 or 17% Note: NO digital sales are included in the above numbers. Bethesda has stated that in the US the PC version was outselling all other versions by a margin of 3 to 1 (that was back in November so maybe this has changed). Valve doesn't release sales figures but they did state that it set records for sales. All of this makes me suspicious that PC sales are higher than what we might think, perhaps even close behind the ps3 numbers. All of this points to the fact that releasing a CK is and should be a priority for them. I agree I DO want bugs squashed but they also need to get the CK done as well. With nearly 10million units sold they damn sure have the money to devote the warm bodies to "Get-R-Done!" However, I am not holding my breath, as we are talking about Bethesda......
prideslayer Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I wasn't sure if electronic sales were included there or not. If not, and the sales pattern for them follows the others, PC sales would be about 6.4MM (45%). Does sound better than 17% for a game like Skyrim.
swiftwing Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Here's a new update today that says it's still on track for this month.
