Can't any of you wait until something is fixed before buying it? I
heard so many reports of bugs in the first game (Arena) that I never
bought it. People go out and buy this stuff like the first day when it
is totally unfinished. I guess someone has to so I know better. The
thing I can't figure out is how game magazines are giving it like 83
percent or above. I'd say based upon what I see hear it pretty much
bites... (I don't want to spend 2-10 hours in a dungeon killing
rats.... then bump into some mega vampire guy all of a sudden)
Well, after your beta testing you paid like 40 bucks to do is
over.. maybe I'll get it then with patch 369 final-hopefully for like
16 bucks in a bargain bin.
Based upond sales of this game, Bethesda will release number III
with a bunch of bugs also. They do it because they know they can get
away with it.

Let's be honest, the majority of bugs in it are now fixed completely. Anyway, a few bugs doesn't matter for such an amazing game for the time.

Yeah, talk about ants in the pants, impatience is a non virtue.
Couldn't he have kept a lid on it for 22 years or however long it took
them to get it working properly?

My god, someone responded. I was joking, to be honest. The original poster
wasn't wrong, anyway, they did 'just keep making them'.

My god, someone responded. I was joking, to be honest. The original poster

And they did get less buggy. I mean, the latter games were in no way >bug-free, but Daggerfall was an absolute mess - often to the point of
being unplayable and unfinishable - on release. You can't say that
about Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim. You might face the occassional >crash-to-desktop or a quest might be screwed up, but at least you
could finish the game without resorting to cheat codes!
That said, it was never the bugs that killed my interest in
Daggerfall. It was the huge, characterless world. Oh sure, the game
had size but - because it was all procedurally generated - all that
space was filled with uninteresting and repetitive content. I didn't
so much mind the wilderness (especially since you could quick-travel
past most of it) but the cities were just the worst. I was really
surprised that there was an Elder Scrolls 3, because Daggerfall - for
all its attempts at innovation - was such an awful experience.
Fortunately, Bethesda saw the light and switched over to hand-created
content for the latter games.
But the bugs were a concern. The first time I played, I fell through
the floor of the starting dungeon, and things didn't get much better
from there. I persevered, but it didn't make the game any more
enjoyable.
