This is going to be a train wreck, isn't it?
Good point. Even if it's given decent support, I can't imagine the likes of Todd Howard (the one person there that gives me any faith in their games) being heavily involved with it after the first six months when he's needed on Starfield and ES6. At that point I expect it will be treated similarly to Elder Scrolls Online, which started badly and has ended up somewhere between reasonable and mediocre.
I disagree with that; a game should be judged on its own merits, sure, but the player experience should always be of concern. Bugs can ruin an experience for me, particularly if, say, something doesn't trigger correctly and I have to repeat twenty minutes of gameplay. I recall coming across a level-breaking bug in the first CoD:Black Ops campaign (which would have forced me to repeat the level entirely), and I put the controller down and never went back to it.
