Honestly at this point I feel like if Skyrim were completely bug free, it'd actually be less entertaining than it is, because sometimes it's fun to exploit some of them or watch some experienced player completely break the game at every turn to do ridiculous things like beat the game without even using the walk controls.
Bug acceptability is based entirely on the effect hey have on the general player experience.
Fun, useful, interesting, optional = good.
Disruptive, harmful, game breaking, unavoidable = bad.
At least in Bethesda's case, the bugs are rarely game-breaking. Must of them are just visual or physics bugs which can be amusing. If Starfield releases in a similar state to Skyrim's launch, I'll be happy.
Then again there was that one game-breaking bug on PS3 when your Skyrim save got too big. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of that.
I almost like the bugs and feeling like Bethesda games are breaching at the seams because they made so much possible.
Personally, in retrospect, I feel like Bethesda games did less "push the boundaries" and more "spread the spill".
Skyrim was always touted as this deep character development based game, but in terms of functional combat mechanics and interactability it felt wide as an ocean, but actual meaningful character development both personal and story driven, seems only as deep as a puddle.
physics bugs arent so amusing when it causes quest items to fall through the floor into the endless void of misery, forcing you to reload a save repeatedly until it decides to not phase through solid matter.
WE RESPECT THE LAWS OF PHYSICS IN THIS GOD DAMN HOUSE, GOD DAMNIT.
I had plenty of issues with quests and scripts not running when they should when I played through Skyrim the first time.
Might’ve been a PC thing though.
I have a personal one year embargo on starfield for this exact reason.
Not touching it t until a year after release, waiting to see if it's fucked or not... Bethesda, eh.
Got couple bugs in here, some broken scripts right there
The fans will fix it anyway so we don't care
Surprised there's not already a placeholder on nexus mods for unofficial starfield patch.
You'll definitely know within a day, at most a week, how fucked it is. The only kind of bug I can think of that may take so long to come out is if there's a save bug that wipes saves. Which is more of a concern on console.
True, but I figure a year gives me time to see how things pan out. You need some time to find out what the community patches will be like.
Such a pathetic state of affairs.
Give it 5 or 6 years and you can get the Definitive Deluxe Starfield Special Game of the Year Edition. Pretty good deal.
This is honestly not a bad idea.
I'm not sure about mods, but if the game is modable, it gives you a year for all that to be created and your experience is going to be way better.
It'll almost certainly be moddable, but the only mod I'll have on my first playthrough will be the unofficial patch. Maybe a UI overhaul if it's as console-centric as vanilla Skyrim.
I can't wait for Starfield to come out. If it's a broken mess on day 1 and there will be lots of juicy internet drama. It might even be as entertaining as the 2020 presidential debate.
If?
Its a Bethesda game.
Bethesda has never released a game that wasnt a broken mess.
Thats why they support modding so much, they basically outsource testing and bugfixing to their community of eager modders.
Who do you think has been reposted/released the most, this joke or the Skyrim game?

It’s a feature not a bug 😂 honestly their bugs are usually hilarious and enjoyable
