    There’s nothing like making a somewhat decent shell of a game, and then counting on unpaid labor to make it worth the price to play it.

      the idea that it isn’t somehow a complete game is just ludicrous. if you think that then you either haven’t played it or just have no idea what you are talking about.

        Skyrim and fallout were also complete Games when they were released. However, they were buggy disasters. It took tons of modders to fix them and make them what they are today.

        And bethesda didn’t have to lift a finger.

        … but don’t let me get in the way of that blind loyalty of yours. You’ve got that “new game honeymoon” thing going on. You should enjoy it while it lasts.

      Isn’t that kinda the entire point to Bethesda games and has been since at least oblivion? The modability of their games has long been their big selling point.

        If the selling point it’s that they require mods to work correctly, and they don’t pay those that out in the countless hours to make them, they shouldn’t make games. Period.

        I refuse to support this bullshit.

          And that’s completely fine too. But plenty enjoy and support it anyway, it’s working pretty well for them so far whether that pleases you or not.
