The first game was funded through Kickstarter and a random Czech millionaire who really liked history. I don’t exactly blame them for not having the marketing budget needed to really make to first game as successful as it could’ve.
Hopefully, the amazing success of the first game can propell the second into being the Skyrim level RPG success they deserve.
Yep, as someone who beat it several times, I agree with this. Its a great game, but is unpolished at launch like any bethesda game, 5 years from now it will have memorable gamer cultural references and a consistent modding/playerbase.
With the love of using the game engine to create entirely new games that bethesda fans have, I’m basically expecting a Star Wars/Star Trek total overhaul mod within the next decade.
Yeah, they could’ve done better with the New Game+ for sure, which to me isn’t exactly surprising since it’s their first main line game to have it.
I do appreciate that there are considerable differences to the story on certain replays, but it’s a slog doing basically the same thing every time. I wish there was a bit more variance.
The flying between or into planets/loading screen issue, I think, is entirely due to the pressure from management announcing early, and then a rush to meet the original deadline, and then another rush to meet the Microsoft mandated delay. Fixing it could’ve been worth it, but it would’ve certainly taken an uncertain number of months, which wasn’t worth it to management or microsoft.
I do think it will be remembered fondly eventually just like every other mainline Bethesda game has been, though.
Yeah, my first build was a stealth character, I did it just fine. You’re mostly likely specing your builds wrong for stealth or wearing a million pounds of armor clanking around thinking you’re being stealthy. There’s specific armor pieces meant for stealth, which also help a ton.
The weapon modding isn’t broken. If you find a gun with a suppressor, you can take that off and put it on the same model as yours. I don’t think needing a skill/crafting to make a whole suppressor warrants the game being called broken.

Any chance you’re on an Nvidia card perhaps? It was shipped with only AMD upscaling because for some stupid reason it’s an industry standard to ship with time limited exclusivity for some stuff like that.
I’ve found that the mod (and probably update in the future) to add Nvidia DLSS helps a lot.
Still dumb that behind door deals between executives/sales can hinder otherwise good games like this though.
Ah okay fair enough, I’m not super knowledgeable about the newer software sided stuff like DLSS and Upscaling. I didn’t realize the AMD upscaling worked on all systems.
I saw tests where the upscaling performed comparatively worse on Nvidia and Intel rather than AMD and assumed that the upscaling was actually exclusive, my apologies.
And Microsoft isn’t too far behind either of them. Apple makes a lot of money for sure, but it’s not the most, and it’s definitely not orders of magnitude more.
