Don't worry Bethesda, you can try again at next year's game awards after you've fixed the bugs and modders have added the features!
Let's not give developers the habit of relying on modders to finish their games. I'm tired of studios releasing half ass games
From what I understand they even fucked with the engine so much that they made modding even harder now and for whatever reason they're not releasing the mod tools any time soon so the big names aren't even trying to mod the game...
It's like they looked at what made all their previous titles popular, looked at the community, and said "nah, fuck that. What the people really want is no mod support, 6 distinct POIs, and TONS of loading screens."
Sorry to be unclear, I was being sarcastic and agree with you. The awards are rightfully based on what is actually released, which discourages this habit.
Gotcha, sadly, these are some people's sentiment regarding AAA studios. Modders are a blessing but then these companies find ways to exploit the passion of their community and fans.
after ~~you’ve~~ the modders have fixed the bugs
And year after that, and the year after that, and so on for the next 15 years as they re-release it.
They don't need to rerelease it.
Skyrim Special edition released in 2016 and is still one of the most played games on Steam. (place 69, nice)
I really regret thinking the extra time to polish would result in a game where we don't need modders to make things decent. The mod tools aren't even out and people have rebalanced multiple systems to be way better than Bethesda came up with.
