Its not bugs but QoL issues. Stuff like inventor management, map interface, triple loading screens, basic HDR support, absent FoV sliders, no DLSS support etc.

It is a great game, but has a lot of baffling QoL problems

"It’s just as polished as Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."

Sorry, I can only laugh so much at such a pathetic claim.

I guess the Zelda franchise isn't what it used to be then?

• Suit protection is apparently always depleted, even when it isn't.
• The game randomly freezes my entire system at least once per day, if not more, requiring me to hard reset it.
• Followers & player character often are missing various body parts.
• The game crashes every now and then, sometimes even during saves.
• Sometimes assets don't load properly, which bugged out a faction quest and boarding activity for me until I restarted the game and loaded an old save (which I luckily still had).
• Every time you close a menu (including the container transfer menu) there's a whole bunch of graphical glitches coming from your character loading its assets back in.
• Player spacesuit isn't taken off in spaceships even though I toggled the option in the inventory.
• Outpost containers chain link breaks if you manually add or remove items from them, sort of defeating their point as storage units.
• I somehow managed to break the rendering engine when I triggered the red mile airlock while tabbing out of the game, causing everything to be black. At first I thought I felt through the ground but I actually had to restart the game as reloading did not help and eventually also crashed the game.
• During a quest in New Atlantis I got stuck when I had to use the EM rifle.
• Lots and lots of possible sequence breaking that can bug out quests or other parts of the game.
• The armory module just deletes all stored items when you edit your ship, instead of throwing it into the cargo. (Might also goes for other containers in other modules, not sure.)
• FSR just lowers my performance instead of giving me more FPS.
• Lots of other random graphical glitches, especially related to stacking transparency effects from like smoke for example (missiles, smoking docker in one mission, waterfalls, etc.).

And that's just the stuff from the top of my head after about 100 hours. I definitely had not that much and not that severe issues with Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, or Fallout 3. Kinda hoped there would be a patch for some of this stuff already.

I’m loving the game, but I’ve had characters pop in and out of spaces, through walls/doors, models that shake uncontrollably. There’s a bunch of issues with some planets having no breathable air and companions aren’t wearing a suit. Buildings with no air locks on one side that have airlocks on the other. I picked up an item that inexplicably was on the door, to move it back to where it was supposed to be, and got instantly arrested….There is a ton of things to patch.

It's just as polished as Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

LMAO

You need to learn what the term "polished" means.

Yes, it is the most polished Bethesda game, but no, it is not "just as polished as TotK". I'm sorry but that's blatantly untrue.

I've experienced 3 major bugs.

The boss battle on the Lock for the pirates quest line. The boss bugs out and disappears somewhere, and you either have to reload an old save, or use console commands.

The adoring fan just deleted themselves, and can't get them back. Even with console commands.

My ship disappears nearly every time I load up.

I'm fine with it tbh. No where near what I experienced with Cyberpunk. I'm thoroughly enjoying Starfield.

I had to save scum the groundpounder mission because I got soft locked multiple times because an enemy ran off and unloaded before I could kill them to proceed with the mission.

Also, depending on the location, I've had multiple CTDs that required constant quick saving otherwise I'd have to do the same conversation repeatedly (Looking at you, GalBank in Akila City).
