And the permissiveness of gamers. They only do what they're allowed to get awaywith. And they're getting away with it.
Having less than a million still playing after a couple of months and demolishing their trust and continuing to do so says otherwise IMO. I will not be surprised if they keep fucking up like this for all of their games from this point given how up their own ass they are.
 
I am amazed that they keep finding new ways to fuck up, how the fuck has someone not taken charge of this project and slapped down all the exceptional individuals currently running it?
If I had to guess it would be because the people with the power to do that are the ones responsible for this fuck up in the first place.
 
I was joking with my gf about how they're probably never going to get rid of or fix the dev room because they've somehow hard-coded it into the game just like how 90s games had everything hard-coded in assembly language so it was difficult to remove anything, like how they couldn't remove the Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic 2 so they just hid it.
Well, I say "joking" but it's probably completely true.

At this point Todd's testing hall has been built into the fabric of reality. Any attempt to remove it would be... catastrophic.

I'll agree that I don't want anyone to become destitute because of Bethesda, which is why I at least hope the talented ones will bounce back in case anything happens. Still, this needs to be a wakeup call that their business model is not fucking working.
The games industry has a huge turnover rate in any case and the idea that tons of Bethesda employees losing their jobs would be an unprecedented and harrowing catastrophe for them is false.
 
Bethesda games suck even with 600gb worth of mods.

This thread is almost nonsensical with everybody saying modders "fix" bethesda games. Lol, those games are unfixable.

I agree.

The problem is that even if there are mods that fix absolutely everything technical wise in those games. Most of them, especially the newer games have a shitty foundation that no amount of mods can fix. (i.e. poorly written stories, a shitty engine, and other general bad game design decisions that aren't easily fixable.)

Fallout: New Vegas I feel is the only exception due to it being done by a company that actually gave a shit and wanted to make a good game. The mods certainly don't fix everything, but they had a pretty solid foundation for a story and setting.

I would have somewhat disagreed until Fallout 76, and even I'm gonna have to throw in the towel, no amount of mods can make that turd enjoyable.

It reminds me how the Gothic series started out great, hit a big decline with Gothic III, which a massive patch greatly alleviated, but by Forsaken Gods, even that was not enough, making it technically sound did not fix the fact the story writing was an utter turd no amount of polish could fix.

Morrowind and New Vegas are the only good Bethesda games. Other ones only appeal to obsessive completionist autists and stoners easily amused by throwing ragdolled bodies off cliffs in a consequence free environment.
 
I'd argue that Oblivion, 3 to a mild extent, and Skyrim are also good games too (though the remastered of the last one is trash due to somehow being worse), and probably among the last personally made by them games to be good since things like Wolfenstein and Doom were just published by them.

I can't wait for them to fuck up more on 76 or on Rage 2. They can't stop and won't stop.
 
Saw this and figured I’d leave this here for everyone:
Speaking of seeing things, I think I found out why Bethesda has continued to make poor decisions from planning this game to handling the release and controversy:

The constant brain damage would explain all of their awful decisions around this game and their future projects.
