    Why is everyone so negative in this thread? I didn’t take time off for the release but I bought the Premium version to get the early access so that I can play on the weekend.

    As for bugs in Bethesda games: I’ve played every BGS game since Morrowind (except Fallout 76) and since Skyrim I also played them on release day and I never experienced any game breaking bugs. Most bugs I encountered were more funny than annoying and a minor inconvenience at most. And that’s applicable for almost all bugs in BGS games, yes they have bugs but most of them can be easily ignored because they don’t affect enjoyment of the game.

      Ragging on Bethesda games is just what people who can’t form thier own opinions do. I’m with you, I’ve played most of thier catalogue and nothing has ever been unplayable.

      Hang on you can’t say “I’ve never experienced any bugs that are game breaking” and then go “oh but I also haven’t played 76”.

      That whole game is one giant bug.

      Isn’t there a way to glitch through the map into a dev zone, and then get every gun in the game?

        You’re using present tense for bugs that happened 5 years ago.

        I played the game about a year ago and it was good. Very few bugs and a friendly community. Only downside from my perspective was poor optimization and a gigantic file size but I suppose thats to be expected from a multiplayer rpg.

    It’s a Bethesda game, you’re lucky to make it out of the tutorial without running into a bug :)

    So no rush at all to play it, I’m waiting for reviews (and the first ten patches).

    How, in the year of our lord, 2023, do people still buy Bethesda games on launch!?

    HOW MANY LEOPARDS MUST EAT YOUR FACE!?

      I have never been sick a day in my life. I have never taken a vacation. I have accumulated more PTO than my entire team but I donate the time to a local animal shelter at the end of the year in cash. When the DLC for Horizon Forbidden West came out, I died. I was dead for a couple of days. Then I got better and went back to work. I feel like I might die next week. A certain something in the air.

    It is a Bethesda game and we know how buggy they are on launch. I’m waiting a while until the worst bugs are resolved and maybe for the first sale hopefully around christmas time

    I took time off starting the 6th before I saw you could get early access. But at least we have Labor Day off so long weekend playing then just gotta work the 5th.

    Took a week off starting on September 1st.

    I am not a huge Bethesda fan or anything. I played some Morrowind back in the day, but haven’t really played any of the others. But Starfield is a sci-fi game and that’s right up my alley. Everything I’ve seen so far just makes me pretty hyped for the game.

    You betcha! Need a break from work and a long weekend to play Starfield (at least while the kids are at school/asleep/otherwise occupied) comes at a great time.

    Came here for the positivity. I’ll pretend all the negative nancies who will complain about ANYTHING Bethesda does no matter what are just shouting into the void.
