Why are people okay with this approach? Just trust in modders to fix a game instead of wanting the devs to produce a good game to begin with?
I am not. That’s why I don’t buy/play Bethesda games anymore. I would rather buy a well built game, then buy an engine with crappy campaign and hope that one of the other customers will have enough know how/patience to build a good game within it. I haven’t quite give up on Larian yet, as unlike Bethesda they seem to have at least some grand game in mind, but BG3 might be title that will land them in the same bucket as Bethesda for me. I will just need to make sure and not sleep on the next great RPG just as I slept on New Vegas for too many years, simply because Fallout3 was a boring incoherent waste of time.
Obsidian and Bethesda seem to have a cold war going on, although they deny it. Obsidian definitely out-shined fallout 76 with Outer Worlds. In response Bethesda is creating a space game, meanwhile Obsidian looks to be challenging the Elder Scrolls genre with Avowed (Which is interestingly based on Pillars of Eternity).
The competition could be good for Bethesda. I would never back early access for Bethesda, while I would for Obsidian.
I am not sorry I backed this game...like I said this is their best work to date.
While not ideal, I am not holding my breath for them to suddenly embrace the RAW, so I am relieved that mods fix this for me personally.
I am done beating the "please return to the rules" dead horse, they don't seem to be paying attention.
I am going to try and post positive feedback or point out obvious bugs.
