Which is not something I’m going to do personally, but the information may benefit someone. I’m still torn between getting it on Steam or just Game Pass.
I can’t seem to find whether it will be Play Anywhere.
Do not pre-order!
I’m getting it on Steam just for the modding capabilities! I like that Bethesda has been good about getting mods onto the Game Pass version of F4 and Skyrim, but those aren’t as extensive as the Steam versions.
I’d be surprised if we get Workshop this time.
Even so, we’re still likely to get mod support given what Bethesda has said about the modding community.
Why would you want early access for what will likely be a buggy launch? Better to wait a month or so and at least play after the launch issues.
Even good launches like TOTK benefitted from waiting with the performance patches.
It’s Bethesda. It’ll never not be buggy.
I’ve no plans to get the game, but maybe I’ll check it out in three to five years when modders have fixed the game and added some real content.
I imagine it’ll be good in a few months.
Bethesda gets a lot of criticism for buggy launches, but all huge games are just as bad really. I hit a game-breaking bug in Baldur’s Gate 2 recently and had to enable cheats and use the console to even continue. And Cyberpunk also had loads of experience-ruining bugs like enemies seeing through walls repeatedly.
Fallout 4’s launch was actually pretty stable, with exception of Playstation though, but that’s not an issue now, is it?
I bought it on launch and I really don’t remember having any issues. I’m always surprised it has such a bad rep.
