And the patch is coming out this week or next. So basically, Obsidian needed another 2 months to actually finish the game but decided to release it in a "premature" state to get it out before the holiday season. Will developers and publishers ever be held accountable for this kind of business practice?

Doesn't the publisher, not the developer, set the release date? So isn't it Bethesda Softworks' fault for rushing the game?

Only if consumers decide to punish them at the tills, and judging form the number of people who seem perfectly happy with the state of the game as released I don't know if that's going to happen, sadly.



This too. Everyone involved is culpable.

I was going to rant about how no one ever shuts up about this.

But I just made this post instead.. Be thankful they are patching it they way they are, The patch is'nt going to be (hopefully anyways.) game breaking like the first was for some, If it goes the way I and others possibly have hoped, It will be goooooood and won't be baaaaaaad like the first patch.

If it takes longer, But fixes more bugs and glitches, I'm all for it.
If it was released SOONER, And fixed less bugs, You all would complain saying "Wtf why did you release a broken patch? FAIL!" and crap like that.

EDIT: I just realized this post probably is'nt complaining about the patch.

Whoopsies. Either way, If anyone that IS complaining.. Hopefully they see my post.

This. We are our own worst enemy.

At least it was only 2 months.
