    It goes without saying that Bethesda's upcoming Fallout 4 is HIGHLY anticipated. To the degree that numerous people are already clamoring to play it and test out its versatility and amazing scope. With so much going on with it, and so much promised, you have to wonder where Bethesda's focus is in regards to the game itself. Well, Pete Hines wishes to put all fears to rest. Cause the main focus of the entire team? Is to get the game done.

    “I can tell you with all confidence that right now the team is one hundred per cent focused on the game itself,” says Hines. “Mod support, DLC… That’s all nice, but if we don’t deliver an awesome game by November 10th our DLC plans won’t matter and our plans for mod support will be irrelevant. We have to deliver a great game [in the first place].”

    “That doesn’t mean [the development team] haven’t spent some amount of time thinking about what they might do [regarding Fallout 4 DLC], but honestly that’s not a focus for anybody right now.”

    So there you go. Make the game, get it to gamers, ensure there aren't any massive bugs at launch that need day one patches...then everything else! Sounds like a plan to me!

    Fallout 4 arrives on November 10th.

    I hope they didn't feel like they had to rush and ended up overlooking important little things, that tends to happen when you try to please everyone in a company. I'm talking about the fact it was announced just months away from its release date. Doing things in a rush rarely renders good results, specially when it comes to video games.

    I think no game is free of bugs, but when a game is loaded with bugs... then you have a big problem. So far I've been made aware of at least a dozen bugs (friend), but I have yet to check this out myself.

    I know that it is late but I am glad that Bethesda have worked out the bugs in the game. Most companies are just in a hurry to get their games out in a hurry for the money.

    Haha, well Bethesda is notorious for that. But to be fair, their games are pretty big, so finding all the bugs before release is a hard task. Fallout 4 was pretty buggy on release as well, though not as much as Skyrim.

    True on that. I have yet to play Fallout 4 even though I had it for quite some time. As for skyrim I had barely noticed the bugs it had.

    Well it depends on when you started playing the game. It was pretty buggy on release. Many quests were broken and I had a horrible micro-stuttering problem.
    It all got fixed eventually, but it took them like a year of patching.
