I’ve also worked in state government. I am both surprised and not surprised to hear this.

Thanks for your concern, but I think I understand my own enjoyment of things and my financial situation better than an internet stranger.

I’ve preordered two games in the last decade and I regretted neither (ME:LE and FO4). If I regret this one, I’ll get over it.

I was going to buy it anyways, even if it’s a mess. If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.

I actually haven’t preordered it and might not, but this is how I felt about Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and Bethesda games are at the same tier for me. I have hundreds of hours in every game since Morrowind; I’ll eventually get my money’s worth.

This is a good feature to bring back to modern games. Anyone else remember F10 from Counter Strike?

I know buggy Bethesda games have become a meme at this point, but I feel like it’s very possible that this will be no more buggy than FO4 or Skyrim. Those games had their bugs, but I had way more trouble with bugs in Morrowind, Oblivion, and FO3. Now, janky physics or mechanics? I’m sure we’ll get some of that… And I can’t wait!
