@gamemaverick: The worse part is they won't acknowledge the size of this 'bug', this is what a Bethesda moderator send me in PM:

Mr_Orry, about 6 hours ago: I need to thank you, since your the first moderator which actually acknowledges the problem in a official thread. Although I disagree how lightly you describe the problem, because really: "some NPCs"? Besides that, I want to thank you for being the first moderator that actually takes responsibility.

JLeavey, 9 minutes ago: No problem at all. We've found that this is very selective, and while some users are seeing NPCs missing, others are not. I personally haven't encountered this at all while playing but the team has been reviewing save files from several users who have encountered the issue. We'll definitely provide an update as soon as we can. Thanks again for your help!

Mr_Orry, 5 minutes ago: If you try Google you'll notice this game breaking bug happens to at least hundreds, or thousands of people, saying it's a very selective case is plain lying. But I can understand you can't say to much about it and are restricted bladiebla. I just hope it gets fixed a.s.a.p. This is a bug that makes an entire game unplayable not just one quest.

That's what bothers me the most, they'll do everything they can to keep this low key.

Dear members of Gamespot,

Recently there have turned up numerous of reports in which people state the disappearing of multiple NPC's in there Skyrim SE game. Empty towns and cities, quest lines which can be resolved and so on. The game is only released a few days ago and already turns out broken. As an Elder Scrolls fan I'm used to bugs, but this time the game is actually unplayable. After confronting Bethesda's moderators multiple times about the hundreds of reports, they finally acknowledged it and mentioned it in a `Known Issues´ thread. although they still offend me how briefly and lightly they mention it. I tried to contact Bethesda, but they just won't officially acknowledge the problem. In my opinion they are trying to keep every news or report about the situation as low key as possible. I'm not here for a refund or anything, I just want a proper working game. I'm hoping Gamespot will look into this matter and gives it the attention it needs, because I'm scared Bethesda won't help us in the way they should.

Kind regards,

Orry
