To those saying that mods will fix this game, I have no hopes for that. People don’t love this game like they do TES or fallout. Why mod for a game you don’t even like? No mods are coming to save this game. Improve? Sure. They’ll make it passable I guess.
And as a user, I’m excited to mod these games because it takes a stale 6/10 game and makes it into a new 9/10 game for me. But imagine modding a 4/10 game to get to a 7/10. Those hours of research for what? Something that you know can’t get better after you’re done. This game is dead as dead. Even to me, a patient gamer.
To all those people thinking they’ll revive this, Bethesda doesn’t work that way. It’d change their whole workflow and delay TES6 by a year or more to fix this. They don’t fix games post launch on this scale. They don’t move that fast either. They aren’t CDPR.
This game is DOA and I don’t look forward to it in my backlog. It’s disappointing but I don’t have any faith left in Bethesda. They’re scummy and a barely functional developer at this point.

I don’t know, I quite like the game. I wouldn’t rank it 4/10, more like a 7/10. I might be impartial because I love the space theme. Was never a big Skyrim fan because I am not big on fantasy.
From my point of view the game has big potential to be expanded upon and since Bethesda rarely releases games, I think they will improve it. I mean look at Fallout 76, it was in shambles and they kept working on it, sure it different since it’s a live game but still.
Don’t really get the CDPR comparisons and why they are back to being praised. They revamped the perks, added police and made some qol fixes, it’s the same shallow, not really a RPG game. Hate that people use Cyberpunk as an example, the game is already abandoned. Use No Man’s Sky if you want to make a comparison.

I was mostly going based on steam percentages. I don’t think a game below 50% on steam will have a vibrant modding community willing to fix the game.
And CDPR moves quickly compared to Bethesda and even they couldn’t finish fixing their game. CDPR also has a lot more resources prepared for this game and they have a differently mentality. Bethesda hasn’t been treating their consumer well for awhile and they don’t have the speed or resources to fix this quickly.
Basically, I have no hopes for this game being fixed. I’m sure it will be improved, but I doubt it’ll get to a 7/10 on steam or elsewhere. Im glad that you may have enjoyed it but Bethesda will likely move on.
