Bugs in a game this expansive are to be expected. Items disappearing or enemies running into walls or spells not doing their intended effect. They are bugs. Normal stuff with every game. But I dont consider half the problems with Elder scrolls to be "bugs".
With Bethesda it's usually game-breaking problems. Sound cutting out completely, Crashes to desktop, saves corrupting, game progression not possible, factions randomly loving/hating you etc. etc.
I adored Fallout3 and played it through multiple times but that game had some seriously tiring problems that never should have made it past testing. I'm hoping they realised their testing process needed vast improvement.
Most mainstream reviewers put in about 7 or 8 hours with a game before posting their reivews and don't see the major problems. If reviewers are seeing issues with this paltry time with a huge game, it's a bad sign. There are some wonky rumours out there. I'm hoping they are exaggerated.
Ultimately I suppose different people have different thresholds on what they will put up with. I'm sure we will all persevere through it anyway for the love of the game.

Thats a stupid question. The obvious answer is "Both, and straight away!"
Dragon age origins is brilliant in my opinion. It feels like a classic RPG from the nineties with modern-ish technology. Like if you just gave devs from the past the opportunity to make a game. It's like the anti-streamlined game and I loved it. On the PC anyway. Dragon age 2 was a decent game but it feels totally different and is nowhere near the same level.Sephiroth_dude wrote: »What rumours have you heard kirby?
Texture problems, weird graphical glitches, NPC's disappearing, invisible walls, bugged main quests, etc. As I said, I'm hoping they are either exaggerated or the result of people playing on early release/cracked copies of the game and it doesn't represent the product we will be playing in week or two.0 -

installed fo3 and mods twice, crashing on launch
pain in the balls
Needed to do a number of things before overhauling with loads of mods
- Mod Manager: Mostly Importantly - Mod Load order
- Script Extender
- Changing an .ini file (AFAIK) to let the game use dual cores on a quad core computer (otherwise would crash) if you had one
I think if it crashed on Launch it means there was a conflict between two (or more) mods, so you would have to go back into the mod manager and work your way through the list to see which one it was. Usually the Script extender took over that large portion of work though.0 -
