Problem is the PC version likes to randomly just internally ALT+F4 itself to instantaneous death to the desktop with not even an error message about it failing. I've had it happen 2 of the 5 or 6 times I've fired up the game so far. Last night sucked, was almost to the top of the argent tower and it just blips off so I didn't even bother reloading it as the area is a tad annoying as it's some big jump puzzle/platformer section.

There's lots of bitching online, a few dumb suggestions people think will work and everyone will shout down it doesn't. No error logs about the mess, just lots of people mad at bethesda for not properly testing it. It doesn't seem to be tied to any specific video card maker, memory, cpu, or version of Windows.

Well, yeah. I mean, this is Bethesda we are talking about here.

Great description, I often comfort play literally anything on the SNES; F-Zero, Final Fight, SMW, Axelay, Aleste, STG. Or if I'm in the mood some Samurai Showdown on the Neo Geo (the first is still my fav)! Streets of rage 2 is also a comfort game for those great tunes, sound effects and memories!

I have to include Sim City for SNES. That game is simply the most therapeutic experience I've had with a game.
Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.
