Oh look, a Bethesda patch fucked something up.
There's a shocker. You know Bethesda, if your going to take on the task of QA for an Obsidian game, you really need to be on the ball. And you haven't been on the ball with the last few games you made. I really shouldn't be surprised, but damn, its just ridiculous.
And yes, I know Obsidian developed this, but Bethesda handled the QA and I'm pretty sure is handling the patches(either testing them or making them themselves) while Obsidian does the DLC.
As far as I'm aware, it is the actual developers who patch the games.
But year, Obsidian + Gamebryo = watch the fuck out.
I'd imagine Bethesda would handle the patches to give Obsidian more time to developing DLC. They already handled the QA, so its not too much of a stretch. And besides, they still need to test the patches and ship them off to MS/Sony for further testing.
Which actually raises another question, how'd this get past Sony/Microsoft?
Depends on the size of the development team then. DLC teams usually are a small group, so are the guys that do patches, etc. I don't know how big Obsidian is (not very, I wouldn't imagine) so unless they're now working full-steam on something else, I would still think it falls to them.
Either way, its still bizarre that this got through. Still, if its not affecting everyone then freak accidents happen.
