this is why I never buy Bethesda at release. Let the modders come, and perhaps Bethy will fix some shit themselves, you never know... give it six months or a year and you'll always have a better experience, and often cheaper and with more dlcs.
This is why I never buy Bethesda games, if they can't be bothered to release an enjoyable game I won't bother rewarding them my money.
It's not 2002 anymore, there are too many quality games coming out every year to play them all, why do people keep that company alive?
Someone fixed their shitty UI for free on day one. I'm not surprised at all why they don't even bother to fix their shit.
Todd Howard has even said his favorite mods for Skyrim were UI ones, lol.
Is he like not allowed to fire people or something?
I have a theory about this:
it's hard to get game devs to move to fucking maryland. to baltimore of all places. these jerks could live damn near anywhere and the studio wants to be in baltimore? so they're left with the folks willing to do that, and anything they can't accomplish - that's what mods (and dreams) are for.
I derived plenty of enjoyment with Fallout 4, Skyrim, FNV (not exactly a bethesda title but one that also shipped with tons of bugs).... at around $40 each, with all their DLC stuff, I think they're great values. Just not worth the new release jazz.
Read that as more dics. Probably those too.
there's so many mods for that.
Fallout 4 is the Fallout game I enjoyed most even tho it's clearly not even top 3 of the series. Reason? So many mods that make the game better. I'm essentially not playing FO4, I'm playing Sim Settlements and, oh yeah, my son is missing or some shit.
Just don't bide your time too long, if you're too late they'll start re-releasing it for the next 15 years on every platform imagineable and for full price each time. There was a sweet spot with Skyrim on PC where you got upgraded to the ultimate edition (or whatever tf) for free if you bought the game before the transition.
