... You do know CDP owns GOG.com right? Also they get tremendous tax breaks and have a lower operating cost and a number of other factors which make trying to paint them as some plucky indie company pretty laughable.

Witcher 3's development team is larger than Skyrim and FO3's put together from what I recall.
Sure, but the comparison was to Bethesda, who owns several other studios as well as themselves through a billion-dollar shell company. CDP absolutely do not have the resources and money that Bethesda has access to, regardless of how much Bethesda has been trying to talk up about how few people they had working on Fallout 4.

Also CD Projekt have been doing nothing but improving over the years, just compare Witcher 1 to 3, its a dramatic improvement. Bethesda has been pumping out really buggy games and having the fans do the work for them since Oblivion (And I actually liked Oblivion), people are just tired of it.

so really bethesda has zero motivation to improve their games since people still buy them at launch and have them fixed up with mods within a month

People abused the last VN thread that allowed folks to talk about the 18+ games so we're trying to avoid that particular fate this time.

To be fair the folks in the last VN thread were talking about some horrifyingly disgusting stuff in conversational tones so it's probably better this way.

The second dungeon area. There's also another bit after that that ends with a rock dropping down to block off the area just before it.

It's doable but might be a bit challenging depending on how deep you want a case to be. Script flags can be a real pain in the rear end in that to test. A similar tip: don't use the sold-on-Steam "Tyranobuilder: Visual Novel Creator", because its output is buggy as poo poo if you try doing anything beyond the basic "keep clicking, occasionally make a choice" decision, the only game I've seen use it that tried for a non-standard UI ended up making it impossible to save past a certain point because the icon vanished forever.

Eh. Bethesda deserves the complaints but I've seen almost none of this. You also don't see remotely this same level of criticism applied to other games. Witcher 3 was absolutely filled with major glitches and people laughed over them instead of demanding how awful it is that CDP didn't fix them before launch, despite them being a company who arguably has more money and resources that Bethesda does and having two similarly janky games under their belt.

I don't see anyone in this thread really strongly complaining about Fallout 4's bugs, maybe there's some incredulity but mostly people think it's funny that Bethesda game releases are so consistently incompetent. But those same posters who are laughing at Fallout 4 jumped all over anyone who complained about Witcher 3's bugs

It's interesting how Bethesda has managed to so effectively lower expectations without their bottom line suffering too much

New Vegas is still bad because it's built on a bad engine. Buy something made on a good engine instead, like Witcher 3, anything made by FromSoftware, or any of the Shadowrun games
