First off I gotta say this game is incredible, well, it was when I played it on the original xbox (1st) and that was without Expansion Packs (DLC)... Sure the graphics have aged, but it's still playable for me. The Soundtrack is crazy good, no other TES game can match it, although they have tried. I don't have to much a problem with the dice roll combat. The organic quest system is okay, meaning, not having quest markers to basically hold your hand through through the quest. But Note: Some instructions via quest givers is plain bad or inaccurate. The reason for my one star rating is because; Base game red/black mountain is overrun with cliffracers, not in some cool challenging way, in a painstakingly annoying way that needs to be fixed officially. Also with Expansion packs (DLC) the game (Mainly Solthesiem) is riddled with scripting bugs and crashes. This is not what we deserve from a AAA game development studio. When I play a game the is drenched in lore and gameplay decisions, I'd like it to be as stable and cleaned as possible, I don't want to waste time I a game that has preventable flaws. Even in todays re-releasing, I mean what gives? I expect better from Bethesda, OFFICIAL FIX PLEASE?
For some reason I thought purchasing this game (again) on GOG would make the game run better. It.did.NOT. Still choppy movement, still Crash To Desktop. And now infinity loading screen lock up. I'm having no luck with this game, and playing the game vanilla is a waste of time, but I've had no luck with any unofficial patches or elsewise, and I shouldn't NEED to worry about unofficial patches. Bugthesda indeed. I only hope that in the future Bethesda makes some official patches, when I say I want to do a playthrough straight vanilla, I mean it. ps: Compatiability trick doesn't work note: This game is broken between the trip from Nipton and Novac, it always breaks when I either get near the Legion encounter (not the one in town, the one over the mountains) or the caravan spawn.
