Bethesda releases the best games ever?

Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: NV, Skyrim, all games that i've spent countless hours in. No other games draw me in to the scope that Bethesda games do. No other games offer you the freedom of choices like they do, some games try, but no one does it better than Bethesda.

Sure, when they come out they are buggy. However, patches come out quick. (I'll forgive PS3 skyrim taking a few months)

Which is your favorite Bethesda game?

fallout 3 is my favorite from what i've played. i still haven't got around to playing skyrim yet, though. it's on my list. i still prefer bioware and obsidian to them, though.

Skyrim.

Like the post above says New Vegas is from Obsidian and it's better than Fallout 3.

NV is better than any of the bethesda developed games. But if you're played the console version i'd see why you think its the worst, it was extreeeemely buggy on consoles, much more so than the very buggy PC version. PC version was fixed fast epsecially with mods.

Morrowind.

Everything else from them has been pretty poor. I guess I enjoyed Oblivion, but that was due to me excusing the poor parts of the game as beginning of the gen misstep.

*Bethesda releases the most buggy, broken, and glitchy games ever

Please fix title OP.

Valve and Rockstar.

Bethesda consistently develops buggy garbage that is behind the standards other developers have set for the genre.

But people are willing to overlook all that because their games are big.

Nah. Rockstar & Naughty Dog do.

the title asks a question so it doesn't really need to change.

LOL NO! besthesda games are half baked glitch fests. The fans build half the damn game. Besthesda games are some of the most boring peice of crap I have ever had the misfortune to play.

Obsidian most probably defeats them at that. So second place for Bethesda.

I would say there up there, best thing about bethesda (also a achillies heel if you will) is that you get more out of their games by using your imagination, thinking of a back story for your somewhat nameless character, have him/her, become an evil killer who stalks people in the night, to the dark night everyone needs stalking the shadows helping those who need helping, to being rambo.............yeah rambo

Morrowind is the best game from Bethesda. Skyrim is a very over hyped and boring game just like Oblivion was. Fallout and New Vegas where fairly good but nothing special.

I absolutely hated Oblivion.

Skyrim, on the other hand, was amazing to me. I don't care much for Fallout.

No.

Skyrim, Oblivion and Fallout 3 were all horrible games with terrible execution and countless bugs. Their only redeeming factors are slightly above average stealth (for "RPG" standards) and moddability.

Don't forget the shallow gameplay and combat, bland leveling system and repetative dungeon design... but the problem is, I'm still guilty of overlooking all those flaws, and playing the crap out of every Beth RPG this gen! :cry:

Why?!

I think that's a good reason. None of Bethesdas games are bug free on release, but they are a lot more successful then a lot of other large open world games.

No other games offer you the freedom of choices like they do, some games try, but no one does it better than Bethesda.

Lets see here... Skyrim

• Shallow, unresponsive combat that fails to have the feel of an action game or the depth of an RPG. Sure you could say that it is an action RPG, but even for ARPG standards the combat system is bad.
• Awful quests, being no better than what you see in your typical mmo.
• Guilds are glorified questlines
• Quest design built around the quest compass
• One of the worst UIs I have ever seen.
• A repetitive and empty overworld, forests, snowy mountains, a meadow and a swamp.
• Towns all feel the same, towns are also really small, even the capital of skyrim felt really small with onlyl around a dozen buildings or so.
• Obnoxious level scaling that makes the world feel really plastic.
• Dungeons as linear as Call of Duty.
• Only like 4 enemy types, melee, archer, mage and firebreathing cliffracer.
• Speaking of firebreathing cliffracers, never before has an enemy been this boring to fight.
• Boring weapon variety, you got 3 straight blades, 2 axes, 2 maces and a bow.
• Melee combat feels very floaty, enemies arent all that responsive, hitting a foe is never satisfying.
• Ranged combat was buggy and too many times I ended up hitting invisible walls. Oh and awful enemy AI and pathfinding made me able to just sit there in front of them, shooting them down as they just stood there.
• Worst magic system ever. Dual wielding spells was an idiotic idea, lack of spell scaling made destruction magic useless, None of the spells were all that interesting either.
• Pointless economy, money is useless.
• Smithing allows you to get really overpowered stuff really fast.
• Races mean next to nothing.
• No real choices to make.
• Perk tree is shallow with obvious "pick me"s, perk tree was also poorly balanced with some perks allowing you to break the game even further.
• Bad writing.
• Mounts that were obviously tacked on.
• No depth
• No challenge
• No variety
• Todd Howard's pre release buzz.
• Worst game I played in 2011, one of the worst games I have played in my life.

Some of my favourite, yes.

LOL no, they are ridiculously overrated, I personally can't force myself to finish the vast majority of Bethesda games, they're are just too buggy for me.layton2012

Well, if they made Fallout 3 we might have gotten something like this instead.

Which is certainly not a bad thing.

Fallout 3: GOTYE

Quality >> Quantity => Bethesda sucksSushiglutton

Yeah, their games would've been much better if they had more focus, instead of just being huge for the sake of being huge...

Instead of a large map filled with a bunch of repetative places, I'd prefer a smaller but more detailed map packed with less dungeons, but with each one being good and distinct in some way, like having small storylines, unique and actually useful loot, etc. The longer you play Skyrim, the more it turns into a chore...

Also, I'd love it if they added small notifications that warn you if you try to enter a main quest related dungeon before you aquired the quest. Fortunately, there's a small mod on the PC which does that, but I don't see why not have it at least as an option in the vanilla game...

The most broken games ever anyway. Morrowind is fantastic though.

I agree with the OP, but Bethesda took an arrow in the knee. Unko Buri Buri.

Morrowind is a clunky POS.

Nah they are beaten by other companies such as Blizzard, Valve, Nintendo, and Rockstar.

Still better than Skyrim.
