That ain't no way to treat a single malt.

I see your point on that original verbiage - it was brief so it could be seen as dismissive of the good and sarcastic.

I’m unfortunately very familiar with Bethesda’s flavor of bugs and what’s common. However, after 20 years of making games, I had hope that they wouldn’t run into these anymore. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not another “no npc” launch like f76 had, but it’s still a common bug that feels as old as time at this point lol

Really it boils down to that $70 price tag for me and, if I’m being honest, Mr. Howard’s blame pushing onto the consumers and, most importantly, the fans of his game and their gaming hardware.

If they had released at $60 I probably wouldn’t have batted an eye - like I said I love Bethesda games with a passion. The fallout series is my all time favorite game series above all else - and I play a lot of variety.

I kinda wish they would charge half price for first game acess with the express intent of fixing the game. Maybe that means the game takes an extra year but so be it. I’d rather wait for better quality than poison the well (as in no man sky, if you botch that release and plan on making other games, people tend to ignore that game for a while)

I know what you mean about the price. I admit, I came within a hair's breadth of saying "sod it - I'll come back in a year and buy it discounted". Main reason I didn't was I didn't want to get the game spoiled any more than necessary ... and I felt like it was about time I paid full price for one of their games.

How many glitched NPCs have you seen, anyway? In 260 hours I reckon I've seen it about twice, Sarah both times. And there's been a couple of occasions where a companion has temporarily decided to stand at the doorway and sulk for some reason, and that's pretty much it.

What did annoy me was the bug where you sell a captured ship at the Den and get teleported back to New Atlantis with no ship exterior and no ground mesh in the spaceport. That was annoying, but I expect we'll see a fix for that sooner rather than later.
