this revisionist crap has to stop lol

with skyrim, F3, Oblivion, and Morrowind this was never the case.

Iunno about F4 since I wasn't really gaming around that point in my life

What? Everybody hated oblivion's level scaling out of the gate. Skyrim was more well received but both of them had game breaking bugs at launch. Morrowind wasn't nearly as bad, but now we're talking about Bethesda from 2002, literally more than two decades ago.

Edit: and that's ignoring the fact that Bethesda games have consistently had issues for decades now in certain categories that people just accept at this points. The hideous character models with the dead-eyed stares, using the same engine for so long that in order to make trains work they just made a giant train sized hat for an NPC to wear who runs along the track. The fact that exploits from three games ago are still usable in starfield because they never stopped using bad practices like having vendor bags just below the floor that you can get to because they didn't even bother to push it all the way under.

Revisionist history is pretending like Bethesda would even still be around if it wasn't for the massive mod community that keeps their janky games running for a decade after they are released.
