Chozo Ghost:
Can't you kill her and take the armor off her corpse? Or Pickpocket it?

Your problem reminds me of a problem I had in Oblivion where the Queen or whatever she is of that Nord town in the north sends you in a quest to these ruins or whatever to retrieve some ancient artifact and I did that and gave her the artifact but I then pickpocketed the artifact off her and then the quest was complete, but now I had this item which was considered a quest item so I couldn't drop it or fence it or do a damn thing with it. My problem wasn't as bad as yours obviously, but it reminds me of that.

He is on record saying the game didn't meet his expectations, and apparently he doesn't understand why. That's why I said he didn't get it. I seriously doubt he even played the game personally and I also doubt he is a long time fan of the series, so that's why he wouldn't understand why people didn't like it. I don't blame Reggie for this so much as Sakamoto because he is the one who made it and should have known better. Reggie can sorta be excused for not knowing better, but really it is his job to understand what gamers want and if he isn't a gamer himself then he needs to start being one, or else go back to VH1 where he came from.

As we know Chozo's opinion is fact, some of us actually enjoyed Metroid Other M. So please stay on topic of bugs, not rants on why your opinion of Metroid Other M being "garbage" is absolute fact. Guess what I'm a long time Metroid fan (I bought Metroid 1 back when it was new!) and I really enjoyed the game.

Now back on topic, it is ridiculous how companies are allowed to get away with a myriad of bugs in their games. Bathesda is one of the worse offenders, I enjoy their games but they seem to feel they can get away with releasing unfinished, buggy messes, which is why I wait on purchasing them until they have cleared up most of them.

It seems most developers who got their start in consoles, are quite good about limiting the bugs in their games, while those who started on the PC and moved to the consoles can be hit or miss.

Nope. Once you've sold or lost this armor, it's gone forever. You can't just kill or pickpocket another Thieves Guild member obviously wearing it, either. It never shows up in anyone's inventory.

The only positive in all this is that I looked on Bethesda's forums, and this very issue is very high on their unofficial Bugs list. There's a very good chance Bethesda will fix this issue in some form or fashion, though they haven't commented on it. In any case, I wouldn't expect a patch for quite a while, since the last patch Bethesda put out for this game only made things worse.

Thanks for posting about this because I just started the Theives Guild quest. Now I know not to get rid of the armor.

All this talk of bugs is depressing. I really wanted the PC version of Skyrim and was considering asking for it for Christmas, but this kind of crap is inexcusable. I had a lot of fun with Oblivion, but Fallout 3 was the most disappointing game of this generation by a country mile for me, and the preponderance of bugs was a huge part of that disappointment. You ask me to pay no small amount of a money for a game, you better make sure it freakin' works.

I have to say, it is sort of shocking that reviewers gave these problems a complete pass. "There were all these glitches and the game even froze a few times... pffffft, oh well, what'cha gonna do? 10/10" I don't care how good the game is when everything's working all right - if a game hard locks your system on multiple occasions, that's not some trivial detail that you just skip over as if it has no bearing on your enjoyment.
