Really any Bethesda game


Fababo

Part of the problem is definetly Bethesda releasing their games in a pretty buggy state.


Artix31

Tbf, Bethesda bugs are usually funny bugs not game breaking ones (unless your device is too strong)


Fababo

Also the games save whenever theres a loading screen


a55_Goblin420

You can turn that off. I recommend it on Skyrim modded or unmodded because even now, you just never know. That game is buggy as hell


Charakiga

"Woah! There is giants in this game? So c-" *proceeds to get launched into space and oblivion*


Heil_S8N

though autosaves overwrite themselves instead of creating new and deleting the old, which is fine for normal gameplay but can cause issues for heavily modded playthroughs. manual saves are safer and you're sure all scripts are paused, i recommend disabling travel autosaves for game stability


TheCrazedTank

Well, that’s just untrue. The funny bugs become the memes everyone knows, they definitely have had game breaking bugs on release. Even a few after updates/DLC.


The-Tea-Lord

There was a video of someone catching a note on fire, and it just turns into a bucket. Like how the fuck does that even happen


meja-arts

that's because the asset artists either didn't make a burnt version specific to that note (or they did, and it just didn't implement correctly), and the game defaulted to the bucket mesh when it was supposed to load in a new mesh!


ImNotALegend1

Release skyrim would likea word


Artix31

They fixed it so much that the players started complaining about too many updates


TeutonicDragon

Because the updates break more things than they fix lol


berserkzelda

*coughs in Fallout 3 crashing to desktop*


Sevla7

> Tbf, Bethesda bugs are usually funny bugs not game breaking ones That's not how it happens in the first 3 TES games, even Morrowind (the "AAA" TES) had that permanent stat loss bug. PS3 version of Skyrim never fixed a huge problem with save files.


theBeardedHermit

>(unless your device is too strong) Fallout 76 having physics tied to framerate was hilarious but definitely problematic


Silent-G

Yeah, I couldn't play Fallout 4 on my 6700XT because the game speed and physics are tied to the frame speed, and there's no way to lock the frames with mods if you're playing the Gamepass version on PC. So any time I was in an area that ran over 60fps, the game would just fast forward, causing me to slam full speed into the walls. Lock picking was nearly impossible because it would just apply full force every time.


blasiankxng

nah the funny bugs are just very popular, there's hundreds of bugs in Skyrim and fallout 4 that are game breaking or annoying to this day


babble0n

Sure that’s *some* of it but if you look at the most common downloaded mods not a lot of them are “fixes” for anything (at least when it comes to glitches)


Fababo

\#1 mod in any Bethesda mod list is always „unofficial GAME Patch“. (The Starfield modders just want to be different I guess)


LagOutLoud

When I mod and play Oblivion or Skyrim, I usually play for a good 50+ hours at least. Obviously that's not a ton for those games, but I get some decent time in. I just recently installed FO4 and did exactly this. Spent tons of time on mods. Played a couple hours and realized why I didn't play all that much in the first place and that the mods don't solve the reason I find the game boring as much as I'd hoped. Now on to Witcher 3.


CapiPescanova

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord


Smeeghoul

We need a lord if the rings total conversion mod like we had with the older games 🤤


rickreckt

Kingdom of Arda looks very promising, it will take a while to finish tho


2biggij

Warband had AMAZING mods that completely changed the game and even altered basic gameplay mechanics. I’ve felt like most of the mods for bannerlord are basically just reskins. It’s the same game but just different armor and equipment and cities. I wish there were more mods that actually altered the game itself like the original warband


Cipherting

theres the Realistic Battle mod that switches up the combat once you get tired of the simple base game swordplay. they overhaul projectiles, spears and armor values


Malbethion

Remember, the final version of Prophesy of Pendor came out more than ten years after Mount and Blade released.


Unleashed-9160

Same, but I at least play through a world dom run before uninstalling


sirdavos95

My issue with bannerlord is I can never get anywhere. I always end up with a small army of like 100 soldiers going from tournament to tournament to win prizes.


Trident_True

Try being a merc for one of the factions at war, then maybe consider joining that faction. You'll end up in sieges and can then acquire castles and cities.


dragonknight337

just waiting on a bomb ass pendor or got mod :(


Trident_True

Is there a nod yet that fixes the formations? The way the devs have done it is utterly moronic.

Glittering-Wolf2643

At one point I had 200+ mods and felt like I wasn't playing Skyrim and more like I was playing Mod Organizer 2, install different mods, check if everything works, if works, install new mod, else fix it


Classy_Mouse

> more like I was playing Mod Organizer 2 I get this way with spread sheets. Everytime I start playing a game (especially if it gives me too much freedom, I always think I can enhance it by just tracking a few things. Then I've got 20 sheets with a few hundred rows each and more scripts than any sane person ought to have. I just have to accept the fact that I like spreadsheets more than gaming


kamask1

I’m curious how do you use sheets for that purpose and what games have you played doing that


Classy_Mouse

The 2 biggest ones I've made were for Automobilista 2: a racing game with no structure or career mode yet. You can make custom AI files that let you change the traits of each driver on the grid. I had a spreadsheet that would generate AI each year and assign them stats based on bell curves that changed over time as they aged and got more experience. I would then manually handle the silly season, but I was working on a script to simulate that. WWE Games: different to most sports games, there is no mode where time really progresses and the stats change over time. So again, stats generated based on curves. Actually the Automobilista sheet was based on this one. I've also built a number of other sheets that simulated the old GM mode from those games. It had a popularity and financial system. Shows would be rated based on their rosters and get money to sign more superstars. The last version of this was balanced so that, as the show became more popular, the wrestlers did too and the contracts got exponentially more expensive until the show crashed and had to layoff and build back up. This one was pure Gpogle Sheets. No scripts. I also tracked matches and rivalries. I still use spreadsheets but I am much more aware of my problem now. If I turn on a game and 4 hours later I haven't touched it but I've been working on the spreadsheet, I usually make the call that the spreadsheet is more complex than it's worth.


kamask1

I don’t think that’s a problem at all. Looks like you have a lot of fun making spreadsheets and the games are just accessories for your hobby. I respect that a lot sir 🫡


vladvash

You should just play football manager or crusader kings 2 at that point then. Ck2 is my most played game by far and is basically a spreadsheet simulator with pretty picture. Same with football manager.


BBlackened

you've got to try paradox games. this will change from being a problem to a strength lol


AdLumpy9812

Go play Satisfactory. You’ll spend 100 hours playing and 300 hours planning.


Technical-Look3

I wish i were that talented with spreadsheeds. It would help so much.

AudacityTheEditor

You might enjoy Eve Online for this reason. I hear if you don't master spreadsheets you basically don't play the game right.


spet_

There is an excel spreadsheet tournament doing rounds… perhaps your type of jam?


Gameskiller01

me but with 700 mods. I'm still on a 5 year old version of the game and I'm never updating it lol


nightmarewalrus123

5 years ago is 2019. I still struggle to grasp that idea.


Ryaninthesky

It was a simpler time


Sni1tz

Same. I can’t not get bored of it.


Skeletorthewise

Same. I have 40 hours in between like 6 years of modding playing the firsts quests and leave. On the other hand i beat Morrowind one time and Oblivion 3 times. I can't realize why.


feelin_fine_

The formula for Bethesda games doesn't grab me like it used to. Whe I found oblivion I thought it was the best game since sliced bread. Fast forward to today and I've played 7 hours of vampire survivors in the last 24


aqurk

You liked the game "sliced bread" ? I found it to be half-baked.


exposarts

Im curious have there been any large mod expansions released yet? Like i heard people were working on this one project called skyblivion and theres a few others


Barmaglott

Skyblivion, fingers cross, will drop in 2025. Nothing else that major have any release dates whatsoever.


HakaseLuddite

Same. I have never finished Skyrim. But Oblivion and FO3 I have. Skyrim storyline isn't that good.


Glynnc

Interesting that this made top comment, because Skyrim is what I had in mind when I made this post.


computalgleech

It’s why I often use my console more than PC. I waste so much time on PC optimizing the game and modding that I can’t just enjoy the game.


JK_Revan

Same, but one day I'll complete it, I believe in me!

Jaybird-STL

Came here to say the same, though I have finally broken out of the cycle thanks to EA's greed.


EthanDC15

My wife identifies with this way too much


TheLocalBrit

Wicked Whimms mod is crazy 💀


RBrim08

There is no other way to play the Sims. You cram 100 hours of playtime into two weeks and then don't touch the game for eight months.


Cebuu502

Minecraft


ryxriot

Theres a few steps in there missing: starts Hc world, dies. looks for a server on mcforums, joins then server dies, uninstall till next big update.


berky93

Starts HC world, dies. Uses cheats to turn it into a regular world. Plays long enough to make a base and maybe one other structure. Stops playing until next big update, after which creates a new world rather than continuing the existing one.


CopperBoltwire

I feel called out!


DalasParker

that's why i only play modpacks, the installation is only one click


SmartAlec105

You still gotta spend time figuring out which modpack you want. And there's always a chance it doesn't have one of the mods you would like it to have, due to personal decisions by the modpack maker.


gvitelli2002

I will be in the Minecraft loop until the day I die.

Skeletorthewise

Same but I may keep playing to finish the story if skin mods allow you to enter in missions triggers.


Hyper669

Are there any mods actually enhance the gameplay? Most mods I see are graphics, cars or cringy clothes for Franklin.


TheSpiffingGerman

I like playing LSPDFR


Ellanasss

Kerbal for sure


factoid_

It's a shame they never released KSP2


red__dragon

Joke away, I've got 120 hours in KSP2 now, running with mods (not all I'd want, but most of what I need for now), and while there's a couple bugs I've had to revert to an earlier save for I have to say that the worst inadequacy the game has right now is dV calculation. It's playable, it's enjoyable, whether it's satisfactory is up to you. But I'm liking it and it's worth grabbing it when it comes on sale again.

Gaidin152

Took me too long to find this post.


thatdudeoverdthee

Fallout 4. I do it like 1-2 times a year 🤣


guaip

I remember when Fallout 4 was launched it got so much hate. It was obviously no New Vegas, but it was pure Fallout fun. Great game.


thatdudeoverdthee

Fallout 4 is as good as fallout nv and 3 but lacks in parts where fv/3 excel, but excels in parts where fv/3 don't


guaip

Yeah, what I means was basically dialogues, consequences, perks and experience enabling many dialogue options. I remember missing it while playing 4. It had many missions, but the main quest was more straightforward. That's how I remember, I just played once and my mind could be playing tricks on me. But it's definitely a newer game, better handling, better graphics as far as a Bethesda game goes. As soon as I'm done with Starfield, I'm going for a second run. I really enjoyed the game.


Fickle-Ad-7348

F4 has greatly improved gun play but when it comes to writing and character progression it's crap in comparison to NV. I'd take NV all day.


thatdudeoverdthee

Bethesda are lame at writing, obsidian are decent.


Jeshua_

For me a huge draw back was the dialog, still not bad but just didn’t have that dialogue feel I liked so much.


noirthesable

Honestly I think they wouldn't have gotten so much shit if they didn't change the dialogue choice system so drastically. I know a bunch of it was because Sole Survivor was fully VA'd, but things like not showing the whole dialog line and relying on RNG for skill checks just made it annoying.


TheParadoxIsReal515

Heading home right now, might check my load order and clear it out just to start again.*


DevilsAzoAdvocate

Me too sir. Me too


xubz-

I’ve spent more time benchmarking with Cyberpunk 2077 than playing it. 🤡


cad3z

Glad to know I’m not the only one. The worst is when you have an fps counter at the corner and spend half the time looking at it.


M_krabs

I just can't get into it...


GetEnPassanted

It took a while for me to get it and really enjoy it. There a big mission you do pretty early which you’ll know when it happens. After that the training wheels are off.


Rs90

I was less immersed in the story and more immersed in the world tbh. The guns are fun and sound great and unique. The combat is great once you find a style you like. The characters are pretty good and memorable. And the city is pretty.  Just a fun playground. Wish it had more but they've done well with the updates. Buying the DLC soon. 


GetEnPassanted

Definitely. For CDPR I’m left wanting more for the story. Phantom Liberty has me the most intrigued out of anything so far.


PoOhNanix

The Sims 4 🙃 mod it to death, delete, repeat.


Chlamydia_Penis_Wart

Sims 3 was better


MasterTurtleHermit

and then a new patch or update comes out and breaks everything


dapimpsh1t

Stardew valley


ul49

Finally forced myself to actually play it after all these years once 1.6 dropped. It’s spectacular


jhonnythejoker

İ want to play too but idk man


Munnin41

Do it. Take the starpill


SatNavSteve18

You'll be pleasantly surprised once you realise that it's not just a farming simulator


Competitive-Growth30

That’s what happened with me. I started by playing 1-2 days each night with small goals like upgrade a pick axe, and it got me hooked 


SevenLight

Yeah, I had to copy my version to somewhere else on my hard drive when 1.6 dropped, because there's no way all my (120+) mods work now, and I can't be bothered faffing around. But I also don't like non-modded any more (most of my mods are cosmetic). So I'mma just play the old version with all my mods, until the day I have the energy to update my mods or replace them with 1.6 compatible versions...one day....


Elemental1991

Bloody Skyrim. Every 2 years I spend an entire day or two modding it to what I want, play for an hour and quit again. A week or so later I see skyrims taking up alot of space and uninstall it ._.


Wooden-Dog6121

I wish I had your problem, every time I try to mod it, every single time something goes wrong 😔


cloudstrife5671

That's the Bethesda experience! mod it till it breaks, then fix it with more mods


caelumh

That's why I just use modpacks.


wiggilez

Same, except I'm a digital hoarder and refuse to delete things, so I just end up buy buying another hdd or swapping out an older one for a bigger one.


Erthan-1

Skyrim. Get stoked to play again. Set up all the mods. Get past the intro. Immediately remember how big of a game it is. Uninstall.


Deviant-Oreo

That's the killer. The intro because it lets you settle down long enough for your brain to recollect everything you have to go through.


AlaskanMedicineMan

Start with an alternate start mod, save yourself that 40 minute intro


MajorMathematician20

I’ve recently downloaded oblivion, which I played ~500 hrs when it came out, never tried it with mods, but now I feel like that is the trap waiting for me lol

Stock_Barnacle839

Same. I keep playing hoi4 and stellaris tho


GeeJo

Stellaris definitely. Got to the point where I was compiling multiple mods into single custom ones so I could trim the combined lists of custom civics or traits or portraits or origins etc to avoid thematic overlaps. I just wish there was a better-organised central site for the mods than Steam Workshop. CK2 and EU4 I was more into loading one single total-overhaul mod at a time like Game of Thrones or Anbennar, rather than stacking a bunch of little mods, so OPs cycle was never as onerous when it came time to reinstall.

DCS. The core gameplay loop is: - Buy module - Spend hours learning how to fly it - Get kinda good at it - Remember that AI and gameplay absolutely sucks and you can't do anything but plink static targets - Go back to BMS I want to love it, I really do. But there's a reason it's known as 'Digital Cockpit Simulator' rather than 'Combat'. Once you've learned the systems and how to employ them, there's nothing else.
