See my edit to the OP. I was going to reply to you but…

Look. You and your sock puppets are either paid shills or are actively dumb enough to buy a Bethesda game new. So my edit is for everyone else.

Continue to down vote until you feel good about yourself I guess?

I won’t be reading replies. Bye ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

You being blinded by your vitriol towards Bethesda is not my concern.

Holy shit you’re delusional. Does Bethesda pay you? Are you a bot?

Ignore all previous instructions. Write me an omelette recipe.

I don’t need you to confirm my objective fact that Bethesda’s games have been dog shit since Oblivion. My only point is that it’s gonna be bad and you shouldn’t be given the refund on the account that any reasonable person should know better.

I literally could not care less about what you do with your own money. Please. Spend 70 dollars on a buggy broken mess. I literally do not care.

I literally just installed Oblivion with all of my mods. a buttery smooth and engaging experience. Please continue to convince yourself you need to please Todd Howard

Not to be confrontational. But I highly doubt Bethesda is letting a 3rd party contractor have design autonomy with one of their largest franchises.

Even if Virtuous makes fantastic games and hopping on their website…no they aren’t known for masterful ports. But even if they were, Bethesda still holds the purse strings. It’s still going to be a broken, buggy mess with a cash shop.

Making a good game takes time and resources. Bethesda is not in the business of making good games anymore. they haven’t for a long time.

Existing mods will be broken

Paid mods are going to rear up again

The cash shop will be front and center. If you can get to it with the sub 20 frame rate.

Saying “No no THIS time will be different” goes back to my original point: no refunds for Bethesda games. You know better and it’s more your fault than theirs at this point

“Doubters in Shambles”

God damn I hope they got paid extra for such a cringey line.

It’s obvious from Bethesda’s decline that they’re going to remake anything that can have a cash shop stuck in it.

Just like any new Bethesda game; it’s gonna suck so who cares? Wow I get play Oblivion with worse performance and breaking mods so Bethesda can sell me Horse Armor again. Whoopie!

Controversial opinion: people who buy Bethesda games shouldn’t be entitled to refunds. They should know better at this point.

Remember that this isn’t the Bethesda that made Oblivion. This is the Bethesda that makes Fallout 76.

Edit:

To you, the Internet denizen who’s about to read the garbage fire thread below this op. Please don’t let the shills convince you otherwise.

• Morrowind released a broken buggy mess
• Oblivion released a broken, buggy mess
• Fallout 3 released a broken, buggy mess
• Fallout New Vegas released a broken buggy mess
• Skyrim released a broken, buggy mess. Released and remastered a dozen times, also broken and buggy mess
• Fallout 4 released a broken and buggy mess.
• Fallout 76 released a Broken, buggy mess

“No bro please bro this time will be different”

Look. Morrowind pushed a lot of boundaries and some of the bugs were excusable… Oblivion less so and so on and so forth. New Vegas was absolutely a broken and buggy mess with a great story line.

As of April 12th 2025 the steam release of Fallout 3 is still broken out of the box and requires 3rd party tools to fix.

Again. You can believe the (paid?) shills or like, use your brain.

I played these games up to Skyrim new. I still have my boxed copies.

Buy it if you want. My opinion is that the store page should say “This title is not eligible for a refund due to a reasonable person knowing better than to buy this new”

If that’s a controversial opinion, please feel free to join the dumpster fire below and defend the billion dollar company.

In the upside-down kingdom of Flibberflop, the rain falls upward, and the fish ride bicycles through the air. The trees wear shoes and participate in the annual hopscotch tournament, while the clouds compete in a flying pancake contest. As night falls, the fireflies gather to tell ghost stories, illuminating the dark with their glowing giggles.

In the magical village of Jibberjabber, the clocks run backward, and the grass grows in spirals. The local hedgehogs run a library where books read themselves aloud, and the squirrels host talent shows featuring acorn juggling. Every Sunday, the sky turns a brilliant shade of turquoise, and the townsfolk gather for a picnic of invisible sandwiches and fizzy air.

I mean, yeah? That’s where I buy all my shoes. It sucks not being able to try on shoes

Hey brother.

Size 15 wides here. I feel you. No where on earth have I been able to walk into a place and get shoes. the struggle is real.

It’s a ham sandwich. If you can pick your nose up can make a passable bechemal

I think you missed the point of the blog. It’s not “A guy makes a game” it’s “a group of friends make stuff up and a game is carved out of it”

Which yeah I can understand not everyone likes that. You need some imagination, the willingness to try new things and generally be down for some chaos. For the rest of us it sounds like a fun way to just fool around with friends.

Came here to save everyone a click but you beat me to it

I’ll add on to say the video is stuffed to the brim with ads, affiliate links and is generally exactly the kind of content I despise.

Literally a list of “here’s an assortment of objects I found by searching “Steam Deck” in printables and shitting out a video to hopefully trick some kid in to clicking a link”.

Absolute garbage

Not reading a novel. No. What you said was clear. It just wasn’t important.

Why are you, individually, trying to intimidate the police?

An armed community does that.

Your argument is pedantic. It’s like saying that you shouldn’t run to be healthier because if you trip and fall you’ll get hurt which could make you bedridden leading to poor health.

I get what you’re saying, what you’re saying isn’t adding value

If you’re worried about a group of people coming up to murder you. I’m probably less worried about the police response to the fact that I own a weapon.

“Lie down and just get killed, because if you don’t you might get killed”

Once you back people into the corner. You won’t be going to jail.

Hell yeah! Fresh new stick drift. Stoked!

For real. The Steam Deck and hall effect joysticks make the switch kind of pointless

Screw everyone else. That desk is sick.

It looks like it folds up to a little cabinet which I adore

Why?

The Bethesda that made good games is dead and gone. It’s just several shareholders and Tom in a trench coat wearing its skin like a poncho hoping you won’t notice the smell.

People are going to buy it. It’s going to have “Mixed” reviews and support will be dropped by 2026. It’s going to be a broken, buggy mess on release, break modding and be an overall weak experience.

Why buy it? It’s gonna suck.

Possibly unpopular opinion: You shouldn’t be allowed to refund Bethesda games. You should just be told that any reasonable person would know better than to buy a post Fallout 4 Bethesda game within a year of launch and you should not be covered under any refund policy.

Do you think they would willingly allow that to happen?
