No, they’re not.
I play vanilla. As long as the updates stop my constant crashes on Linux, update away.
My “nExT gEn” update experience:
- Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
- Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
- Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
- Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
- Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K
FYI, most mods I installed are from:
- The Midnight Ride:

Yeah, but you’ll get a few hours in and uninstall because you stop playing.
Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.
Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.
Albeit quite bugged at release,
but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.
The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened…
An official modpack would have been much better.

Except that all of their patches broke all the mods.
FO4 also was a mediocre fallout game but a decent FPS and base builder

That’s kinda spoiled, lol
Brother the company is owned by Microsoft now. You can complain about their product in any way you want. Its sold under Microsoft, you can complain. Again, Microsoft
People have complained about FO4’s graphics since release. I always thought it was a good looking game. Coming back after the next-gen update I still think it looks good.
I see the FPS still maxed at 80 through DP connection and the Fallout 4 Script Extender no longer works. The XDI and Be Exceptional mods have ’d
This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.
bethesda has historically hated mods and the people who make them. its why their games have such a small modding scene
Well the updates to Skyrim, Fallout and lack of modding tools for Starfield seems to indicate that it is now a reality. I seriously cannot fathom why they would sabotage themselves like that. It’s absolutely obvious since at least Oblivion that mods are lifeline and reason for success of Bethesda rpg games yet here we are.
the games sold just fine on console, before modding was possible on it. never got this modding saves bethesda narrative. its just a neat addition
My gut feeling is that the procedural generation thing in Startfield somehow absorbs some people’s need for mods.
I seriously doubt that. Bethesda’s titles are generally some of the most moddable mainstream titles. I missed sarcasm.
