    Why is everyone so negative in this thread? I didn’t take time off for the release but I bought the Premium version to get the early access so that I can play on the weekend.

    As for bugs in Bethesda games: I’ve played every BGS game since Morrowind (except Fallout 76) and since Skyrim I also played them on release day and I never experienced any game breaking bugs. Most bugs I encountered were more funny than annoying and a minor inconvenience at most. And that’s applicable for almost all bugs in BGS games, yes they have bugs but most of them can be easily ignored because they don’t affect enjoyment of the game.

      Hang on you can’t say “I’ve never experienced any bugs that are game breaking” and then go “oh but I also haven’t played 76”.

      That whole game is one giant bug.

      Isn’t there a way to glitch through the map into a dev zone, and then get every gun in the game?

        You’re using present tense for bugs that happened 5 years ago.

        I played the game about a year ago and it was good. Very few bugs and a friendly community. Only downside from my perspective was poor optimization and a gigantic file size but I suppose thats to be expected from a multiplayer rpg.

    It’s a Bethesda game, you’re lucky to make it out of the tutorial without running into a bug :)

    So no rush at all to play it, I’m waiting for reviews (and the first ten patches).

  • You betcha! Need a break from work and a long weekend to play Starfield (at least while the kids are at school/asleep/otherwise occupied) comes at a great time.

    Came here for the positivity. I’ll pretend all the negative nancies who will complain about ANYTHING Bethesda does no matter what are just shouting into the void.

    I took some time off because I needed a break, not specifically for Starfield, but it definitely works in my favor and it’ll probably what I’m going to be spending a large chunk of time on.

    Hopefully it’s good. But it’s a Bethesda game, so you’ll be lucky if walking into rocks doesn’t kill you.

    I’d leave it at least a week if I were you. There is a 100% chance they’ll be a game-breaking bug on day one. And there is a 50% chance that they actually fix it on day one.
