In my experience it was much less buggy at launch than for example Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
I didn’t experience any game-breaking bugs, just ones that harmed immersion.
There was a bit of T-posing, the occasional floating prop/animation bug, and once I got launched into the desert when climbing through a window.
No crashes to desktop, no broken progression.
It probably helped that I was happy with the game they delivered rather than getting hung up on what may have been promised.
Yes, just wanted to contrast the reception they got. Bethesda games don’t generally attract as much ire for the bugs. People expect them and tolerate them (to an extent). Cyberpunk 2077 was a totally broken mess according to the internet, while the Elder Scrolls are the greatest thing ever.
I had crashes to the desktop about every 4th area transition in Oblivion and it still didn’t bother me too much, since it had just saved and took less than a minute to get back into the game.
Some bugs - even total crashes - can still be put up with just fine.
But they can, because it seems like most gamers have goldfish memory, and they forgot/forgave the shitty launch and first years
My thought coming into this thread. Plenty of people here sucking their dick and forgetting the terrible launch. They earn what they deserve.
