Bethesda has plans to leave bugs in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as long as they have entertainment value, according to game director and executive producer Todd Howard.

Speaking to Joystiq he explained: “We try to solve most of it, we’re sensitive to a lot of it. There is a subset of that where we say ‘Well, that’s what can happen.’ If there’s entertainment value in that, whatever it is, we’ll leave a lot of it. If it’s gonna break the game, or unbalance the game in some way, we do try to solve it.”

He added, “If the solution is gonna make the game less fun … well, hey, leave it in. It’s their game.”

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is set to launch November 11, however Bethesda has confirmed there will be no demo available prior.
