Playing Arena rn on DosBox and I've already ran into a bunch of bugs. Save often because it's so easy to get stuck in a wall and softlock the game.

I remember people complaining when Fallout 76 came out because there was a bug that had been in the engine since Morrowind that the community would normally patch but couldn't because it was an always online game data-laughing How pathetic of a studio can you be that you can't fix a twenty year old bug that the community can?

Bethesda is too busy tormenting its trans staff to fix bugs

It's not really fair to judge Arena based on an emulation of it tbh

I mean true but I literally got no other way to play it

Normalize buying a PC from 1994 to give Todd Howard a fair chance to impress you with his first Elder Scrolls game

BGS' games have the same bugs, game after game, decades later. Modders fix bugs for Bethesda. And BGS won't even implement the fix(s) for their next AAA release. BGS should be embarrassed.

"eh, the fans are gonna fix it anyway, so why bother"

I mean, that's not terribly impressive. What's really impressive is that they never actually manage to reduce the number of bugs, regardless of how many point releases they issue.

I'm convinced they've started deliberately adding more bugs because that's part of what people like about their games.
