how is the fable patch out already when that game came out AFTER fallout: NV. total poppycock and it shows bethesidan just dont care. if the fable developers can get a patch to an open world game out, y that hell cant u guys?

Do you think all patches are the same for every game?

I know nothing about what issues Fable 3 had or what issues the patch fixes. But I do know that fable is a different game on a different game engine, developed by a different team. I'd also guess it didn't suffer from the kind of issues that New Vegas has. Patches aren't always just an easy flick of switch and then every things fine; they need to be continually tested to unsure they don't further brake the game. And I for one would rather they take the time to create a proper stable fix.

Also I am pretty sure that Bethesda and Obsidian both care very much for the Fallout series and this games stability, and they clearly want to continue supporting the game.

That said I am not excusing the state of the product which I think they should have just delayed the game. I only got ten hours out of this game and I wish I had waited and bought it at the reduced price I get it for now. Because certainly I won't be buying any products from the Bethesda or Obsidian in a hurry. And certainly not if they are using the same tech; which I'd guess is the main issue with these games.

Dude how can you possibly compare Fallout: NV and Fable III? Lionhead would NEVER ship a game with THIS many bugs...

I've played Fable III and it had completely different bugs than F:NV, and there were less of them. Plus, it's a different company. I also think that Fable III isn't as big of a game as Fallout. So yes, it would make sense that they got a patch out faster.

What a disgrace. I knew Lionhead would beat them out of the gate. LOL @ Bethesda!!!

Well Fable 3 isn't as open ended as Fallout NV at all. So Fallout will obviously take longer to patch but not a whole month.

Please use one of the other ''waiting for the patch threads". As frustrated as all of us are, making multiple threads for the same discussion really doesn't help keep folks informed or satisfied. All it does is make it impossible to know which thread to post our frustrations in. We are all frustrated, we all wish it were here and we are all waiting. Some more patiently than others. For many of the problems, there are solutions and keeping it all in a couple of threads helps folks find those solutions.
