Well I've been purposely holding off on playing this for the last month using sheer willpower to keep from playing so they can fix the damn Preston bug. They finally release the newest patch that stats they have fixed it...only it hasn't been fixed, and not for me but pretty much anybody. I could have been playing this whole time or doing a new game or something instead of waiting for something that didn't happen. It's not the only game breaking bug they stated that's fixed that didn't really get fixed either. I've both spent well over 150 hours on it already along with not being able to play for a month, and it might all be for nothing. I have a feeling I'm going to have to start over from the beginning, but I have so much wasted time into it I might just set the game aside and never play it again at this point as that feels better than having to redo hundreds of hours of work.
Even worse with some of the bugs you know there is just no way they didn't know about them from their own playtesting.
I think from now on I'm going to have to create and follow some rules when it comes to Bethesda games:
#1. No matter how much hype is behind them or how awesome the game actually is, never buy them until a year after they have come out. Hopefully by that time they will eliminate all the game breaking stuff...maybe. (bonus of the game be cheaper too)
#2. Even then buy it for the PC as there might be console commands or the mod community that will fix some things. (Hopefully I will be able to have a newer computer soon.)
That's if I buy them at all. My wasted time here will weight on me when I make that decision.
They are just too incompetent to do otherwise.
