The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

[sactoking]

As you said, Daggerfall was full of bugs. Many of them were game-breaking. And that was a time when patches didn't really exist, not in the way they do now. You bought a game and played it straight out of the box. It was enough for me to not want to buy another Bethesda game.

Then Skyrim came out and it was getting such rave reviews, so I took a chance and bought it. SURPRISE! It was buggy too, though not as bad as Daggerfall by any means, and by now "patch culture" was now accepted. I played it a bit, it was OK, but I had other things going on in life so I put it aside. Came back years later to try again; it was essentially done and stable and the mods were amazing. Installed it and... no mod support. Turns out in the years since I bought it they overhauled the engine or something and deprecated the release version. It was no longer supported. Apparently they had an offer for a free upgrade to the new version but it was time limited and had expired. So I had bought another Bethesda game, this one apparently worth playing, only to find that Bethesda had screwed me out of the ability to actually play it.

Never again.

I mean... there was a half-decade between the release of Skyrim and SE, and you can still play the original with original's mods... SE is just better.

Yes, Bethesda's games do always come with some bugs in them (more recently not as many as are claimed, though). There's a reason their games are played for actual decades, though.
