I voted for "Can't speak for other but I won't be getting the next game".
The bugginess plays a large part but not the whole of why I won't make another Bethesda purchase.
1) Foolish I know but I had hoped after using the engine multiple times, they would have got better, but no many of the bugs they've been fixing for 3 months and some still yet to fix are bugs that have been present in every game of that engine, well know issues now, and have been fixed before in each previous title. It's like they release a game and reset to default standards, an earlier date.
2) Thier PR handling on the whole thing, frankly they where out right insulting and demeaning at times when issues where raised. Maybe they were frustrated but this went beyond the volenteers of the forums and included the paid staff.
3) The Glitches are one thing lowering the "fun" of the game but even without the total of all it's parts actually comes to less. Each feature is so empty, devoid of value and interacts poorly with other parts of the game they just detract from the whole experience.
4) 15 minutes of opening are filled with numberous flaws, for a game that boasts immersion they couldn't get the "acting" timed right, have characters not vanish when passing though doors, have corpses not move or even not drop any of the stories points of interest raised (lokir has no home or history, Ralof isn't as interested in Mead with Juniper berries as he claims etc). It's just bad form and an excellent marker of where they set the bar from the start.
5) Let's face it, it's the same game again but with worse features. I could have got mods for oblivion for free with more interesting stories, gameplay and more stable with much more change. Any new feature added (marriage, on going quests etc.) already exist as mods with better depth.
Frankly I'm still completely lost over why it's praised so highly, even for things most other games are ripped to shreds for having. That is when issues aren't completely ignored.."Just RP it"..bleh. End of the day that's just me, I no longer feel they are a company worth following, I think these things are bad choices and sloppy design (possibly resulting from a team with severe ADHD). Sure they are not Peter M. and Fable but they have crossed the line that is all too close for me, although in one aspect I consider fable better, some of the features in it are much more full and entertaining (relationships and generic randomized npcs having more life then Beth's set ones to name a couple).
