Hello, I am starting a new world and building a memorial to all pet that have died making their owners and family members sad. I would like your help designing and presenting ideas for this project. Please no huge statues for dogs or cats. If you have any advice please share thank you.
R.I.P. my fuzzy buddy.

Well, I make huge pits to throw the annoying bastar... OH, you mean you are sad because they died. Well... this is not my area of expertise.

Edit: Bones. Bones, everywhere.

Chances are the programmers over at Betheseda have had barely any time to react to this. You could say that they should be doing something about it, but nobody can accomplish anything in such a timeframe. Also,

this

does not speed things up. In fact, there is little reason to be mad at Betheseda at the moment. The misinformation that is spreading is ridiculous (not to mention, damaging).

People, seriously, try to remember that this is not the Bethesda developers (you know, the ones who actually make the games) throwing these arbitrary legal words around. This is their marketing/legal department, a bunch of guys who are for all intents and purposes, not really involved with the creation of the "Elder Scrolls" franchise itself, instead concerning themselves with the legal standing of said franchise. These are boring lawyers in grey suits paid to do the necessary evil of copyright infringement accusations.

Sure, the game devs could go to their lawyers and be like, yeah, we don't like Mojang using that name, make a case out of it, but more likely the game devs themselves had no idea about this, or just didn't care, until the whole thing was already in motion.

So don't get the guilty parties confused. The guys "making" Skyrim are (likely) not involved in this stupid legal contest.
