Admittedly, I've only played Skyrim and a bit of ESO, but I've gotten the impression from Bethesda that their RPGs are always buggy, but, at least with Skryim, the game was so good I was more than willing to forgive them for it. Skyrim remains my favorite single player RPG to date.
To respond to the OP, I consider the baldur's gate series to be more of a trend-setter than the other games he listed.
- godshatter 8y agoI remember reading somewhere that the developers of Skyrim will leave non game-breaking bugs in the code if they are funny ones that don't break quests. Things like mammoths floating in the air in certain cases, for example.
- bitexploder 8y agoMy kids think it’s hilarious to fast travel to a giant camp and see mammoths spawn from the air fall and die.
- _asummers 8y agoGive Witcher 3 a shot if you haven't. I much prefer it to Skyrim, and felt much more attachment to the world and characters.
- enraged_camel 8y agoWitcher 3 is fantastic. Incredible story, enormous amount of high-quality content, and wonderful, hand-crafted world.
- AngryData 8y agoWitcher 3 is what I hoped Skyrim would be and despite playing an already existent character and it felt like I had way more freedom in my choices.
- z3phyr 8y agoWitcher 3 and Skyrim are two totally different games. Witcher 3 is more story focused if you get the gist. Skyrim is kindof pseudo-choose-your-own-adventure, not focused on dialog but exploration. Witcher3 is on the opposite spectrum, focusing more on characters and dialog and world building.
- _asummers 8y agoI don't know if I agree fully. Yes they were obviously different games, but it seems like Skyrim and Witcher were very similar in scale. Had Bethesda decided not to not autogenerate many of the side quests, it feels like Skyrim could have been Witcher with a different lore and combat system despite being way earlier. I remember zero Skyrim characters and remember most of the Witcher characters, and while I understand they're different games, I refuse to accept that a company the size of Bethesda could not make an Elder Scrolls story that introduces complex lore like Witcher that could be largely ignored by masses if they so choose (Fallout 4, for example).
- dmoy 8y agoOh wow it just stuck me that the Morrowind "screen always red" bug and the Skyrim "the damn battle music won't stop playing" bug are probably a very similar bug.
