Why is this game still such broken trash?
I mean, you'd think the devs would have time to fix some of the bugs that have been around for years on end, since they apparently have the time to release a compilation of paid mods for us to "enjoy".

Should it really be the users responsibility to blindly stumble around searching for a fix that in some cases is literally impossible to produce for anyone without access to the game's source code..?

This game has been released, what, at least three different times now, only counting the various PC versions? WHY IS IT STILL GARBAGE? Why can't I just enjoy the game without 48 hours of desperate .INI configuration and mod installation?

Bethesda is a plague.
The fact that I've actually given them money will forever be one of my greatest regrets.

No problem here with Skyrim and Bethesda has put out some of my favorite games like Fallout and Rage.

Reload last save is the easy fix, why would they need another. Maybe you should try without the mods. Sounds like you causing the 'bugs' yourself , console command much?

I've been playing for over 70 hours and the game has never gotten so broken I needed to use mods. Only needed to reload a save file, restart the game, verify game cache, use console commands, or delete old save files.

We are lucky to have the community we have that has made Skyrim what it is. Some of that is thanks to Bethesda's release of the Mod tools. I have been playing video games since the mid 70s. I have seen a lot ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games (and even loved some of them to death...literally smashed the cds multiple times and still gone back to get a new one (Elite 3 Something Encounters).

Please note I am not disputing your statement or feelings.

Fallout 4 while Technically better was a game I could not love as much as Skyrim. Fallout 76 would have been perfect for me as a FO4 DLC. As an MMO it was just ♥♥♥♥. ESO the same.

I pray every night that Starfield will work for me (play wise as well as actually work work).

Edit: Changed Disagreeing to Disputing as it flows better.

Imagine being the 1 in 10,000 fool still playing the game over 10 years after release and complaining how it's "broken trash" and thinking you'll be taken even remotely seriously by the millions still actually playing and enjoying it.

it is broken but i got a bunch of mods i love and i've managed to get other mods that fix a few brokenness, I love the game and if you can get it out the broken state enough i think it has endless hours ahead....i've fresh installed and started from scratch looking to make a character of every race with their own backstories and with the alternate start mod it really helps with that.

I haven't played other games where i can do that and i know its just mods but its so easily accessible and easy to fix if you have the know how and patience....cyberpunk 2077 is much harder imo and annoying and doesn't really offer as much as skyrim tho cp2077 is my fav game of all time so i think seeing through the brokenness of games helps with good modding. (and not over modding)

The thing is are any AAA publishers good anymore? EA, Ubisoft and actitision were never great and now are all fully down the toilet. TakeTwo are also ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but due to ruthless bussiness minded behavior and not being completely incompetent are unlikely to fail because consoomer need dopamine.

The term 'AAA' isn't even supposed to be taken seriously anyways. Even a company like Nintendo, who was known as the antithesis to companies you mentioned, have become just like them due to their arrogance and laziness from the success of the Switch. And of course Nintendrones defend their actions claiming since everyone else is doing it, then it's totally fine for Nintendo to do so. I hope whatever console they release after they move on from the Switch brand flops hard.

You can report anyone for anything, but the moderators aren't gonna act on amount of posts or the content of the reports alone. This isn't like Reddit or YouTube where being political or forming an angry mob will get anyone easily banned. Moderators can and will punish users for false reports.

idk, both you and the person you're accusing of being a troll have somewhat questionable post histories. although their post history is more indicative that they're potentially a career forum troll around here lol.

That's rich. Apparently you're someone who can't tell a troll from someone calling someone out on their BS. That's okay, you obv don't know me.
