Fallout 3 GOTY = $Millions$ - Buggy as hell - (same engine) Bethesda leaves it to community mods to fix.
Fallout NV - $loads of cash$ - Buggy as hell - (same engine) Bethesda leaves it to community mods to fix.
Please tell me where the quality has improved because the pattern forces me to disagree.
If anything more sales makes them keep passing the quality control to the community...because they keep getting away with it.
?? Community fixes, eh? I guess if they're helpful to you then go for it. But when the description says something like "fixed it so dogmeat doesn't have so many HP when you level up" it means that some arsehole has made a "creative" decision (the quotes mean I'm being sarcastic just in case you couldn't tell) to alter the game to their own liking. Anybody with access to the GECK can edit the scripts and what not to 'fix' the game if they want. For example, some people think it's a bug i FO3 that if you help the ghouls move in to tenpenny that they slaughter the residents anyways. If you read the scripts in the geck you'll see the actual dev comments that talk about the murder and the script which removes the NPCs from the game and adds their corpses to the basemant. In other words it was totally intentional. The community has hardly added anything of value regarding Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Oblivion has some good stuff but FO games do not. Oh wow! High res textures! Too bad the "artist" isn't an artist at all and their textures and bland and crappy. But hey, they're high res right! Oh look at these new hair models and faces. Never mind the fact that they look like plastic and the models are anime rejects with loli-ish designs. I guess a lot of people like that crap but those same people like child pormography so that isn't saying much. The "community" is a joke. If you want to 'fix' the game scripts then do it yourself, it isn't hard and Bethesda offers the tools to do it yourself
