as ive said in every other thread for a patch, "everything that is broken and shouldnt be." they know wuts broke, they know a modder who can fix it, hire the modders, fire the so called designers, blam, unbroken game!!!!!
actually its flawed.
'modding' around a bug isn't the same thing as fixing it, many 'mod patches' work around layering code to 'work around' the problem rather then address the actual problem itself. Mod patches aren't complete fixes either, they are either work-a-rounds or partial fixes that are done with the scripting that they have access to. If the problem exists inside of how the game engine itself is working, or those tidbits that they don't have access to modify, then the only thing that the modding community can do is work around it, doing a 'soft patch' which is temporary and has to be updated with each new version released, instead of a 'hard patch' which is a more permanent fix. If they truely have a permanent fix for the bug they should share that information with bethesda directly so that the problem(s) can be resolved quicker for every platform.
Also, the atomic nirnroot thing is curious to me since I've never seen it myself. What does it entail exactly? Like it just glows after you pick the plant, it glows REALLY brightly, orrr?
