Do other games have this many utterly game destroying bugs?

the mission where you have to get the synth for the institute glitched for me but i was able to finish the mission by returning to the location where you met the courser companion, i dont remember his name. also i killed the railroad but after i still had a MILA mission, i set it up snd now it says see tinker tom. but hes dead. someone mentioned they cant edit some crops. if u store some of the ones u can edit, after a while youll be able to edit the ones u couldnt because your settlers will farm those instead of the ones u stored.

Oddly enough this has been my buggiest experience with any Bethesda game.

CURSE YOU MONSIGNOR PLAZA

also, a few other quest-breaking glitches. The UI resolution freaking out, etc.

I found a bunch of Radroaches in Vault 111 but I'd hardly call them game breaking.

A game like this is truly a different experience for different people. Typically with Bethesda games certain play styles tend to bring out the quirks and bugs in the game. All of their open world games are typically very buggy when they first come out, but if you play straight through and don't push the boundaries you might not see any bad ones. Fallout 3 was to me the best in not having huge problems. Most of the time they fix 90% of the major problems in patches. But patches take time.

Most of the major bugs I found in this version deal with companions and settlements/settlers. Some pretty serious like Preston not being a active companion. I emailed them about it, no response.. not surprised. But like others have stated this is by far not the worst game they released with bugs.

My Oblivion game I was a huge fan of the style... but load screens took 5 minutes often. I ran into a glitch that wouldn't let me open cave doors breaking the game over 100 hours in. Then to top it off DLC finally popped up a black screen on the load up finishing the break game experience. Then when I call customer service back then they were so rude to me. Boycotted them for several years for it. But Fallout won me back.

I learned to take it as is. Poor customer service. Glitchy games on release.. but a amazing experience. Open world like no other something you can sink 100s of hours in. Save multiple files. Save often. So for the person posting I feel for you been there done that. Hope this post helps give you the answer your looking for.

I never even finished the main quest in Dagerfall because of a game breaking bug in on of the main questline dungeons. And this was in the days before that everyone had internet and getting a game patched was a lot harder. (Still, it awakened my love for the RPG genre and indirectly even got me into MMOs.)

Bethesda does have a reputation for buggy games, but let's be honest here, they are also known for big open world games, name one big open world game released in the last year that didn't have any bugs? These types of games are prone to have bugs in them, but it seems this time around the majority of people are pretty much bug free.

It svcks if you're one of the people who does experience bugs that halt your game play but:

Is a bit uncalled for.

Haven't had any 'game destroying bugs' at all and i'm level 49 and have finished the main quest and still have loads to do, for a Bethesda game that's an epic feat in itself due to Beth games having the 'bug ridden game' rep.

There has been a few fps drops at times and maybe settlers spawning on roofs but nothing game breaking on PS4.

Bethesda games are often buggy because they create massive open moddable worlds (thank you for this, Beth) where many things can conflict in certain circumstances. Luckily the only bug in Skyrim for me was some optical glitches with remaining magical effects (long gone). My Skyrim crashes relatively often now (every 4 or 5 hours) but that's the fault of HR textures and an ENB and cell loading. I had one unrelated freeze in Fallout 4 since start and one bug I noticed yesterday when a dead pilot of a blown BoS heli still hovered in the air. I would call it (extremely) stable and (personally) bug free but I wasn't still near this terrible plaza. I also find it remarkable that I can play with my three year old rig with a GTX 570 on very high and partly extreme graphic settings without problems.

I find It crazy that after 100 hours of gameplay the game hasn't crashed once for me, haven't noticed any bugs except for some floating cars or bodies crashing through walls, and some people have so much problems.

What kind of PC components can you possibly have for the game to act that way? Is it just a matter of ati/nvidia, intel/amd? It seems like OP tries to run this on potato.

You should become beta tester man, you find all the bugs that 1% of people experience, I wonder how you play the game, you must really push it's limits.

When the game were released I had a pretty old nvidia driver and the game ran fine on that.

I then, just to, you know, boost performance a bit, if possible, upgraded to the nvidia fo4 ready driver, after which I crashed to desktop constantly and consistently at some spots. But just downgraded to the 2nd last nvidia driver and haven't had a crash since.

Sure, there's a few ragdoll and animation glitches, but I haven't run into anything major.

...

But offcourse computers are weird, just because I can run it fine, does not mean, that someone else, for completely "arbitrary" unknown reasons, can't. Experienced that myself with farcry 2 and 3.
