It's not as polished as a AAA game, sure, but it's shareware. Really, is it that much more buggy than a new Bethesda title? Or CDPR? If you don't want to deal with glitches, just wait a couple months for patches. I bought a new copy of the game through GOG to streamline the install, and have been playing since day one. The scope of the map, and the quality of the gameplay is excellent. My only gripe with the writing is that some of the NPC monologues are too long, and repetitive.
