Prepare yourself for the stream of bitter hatred, even from the fairly chill people in this community. You'll be getting a shitload of it, for having the temerity to enjoy a BethSoft game.
Can I ask, though, what the bugs you encountered were? I've played every Bethesda game, from Morrowind through Starfield, and I've never actually encountered any bugs that were gamebreaking. I hear about this stuff all the time, even from reasonable people like you, but I guess I've just been getting really lucky?
What were your bugs that you had to use mods to fix?
Ok spoilers - you know how you have to use the scanner to find the distortions to find the temple to get the star born powers? The distortions hardly ever worked for me. I thought I was retarded for a while but then I watched a bunch of videos and realized that it’s broken for me. Turns out if you explored the planet with the temple before you got the quest to find the temple, you won’t get the distortions.
In the kind of guy that does like, all the side quests in a Bethesda game before I look at the main quest. So by the time I got around to doing the main quest, I had been to literally every planet, had outposts everywhere, and wouldn’t get the distortions. I used console commands to get past the quest for the first temple because that’s a common glitch and the fix is all over the internet.
But I ran into the same issue with the second temple. I tcl’ed my ass into the sky and found it with my eyeballs. 3rd temple, still nothing. At this point I got irritated and found a mod that makes it so when you have the find distortions quest active and you get out of your ship it automatically completes that objective and gives you the temple map marker. Fucking lifesaver of a mod.
I’ve run into other glitches, but they were all pretty minor. This one drove me nuts. There was one moon where it worked correctly because I hadn’t been there before. Like the only place in the whole game I hadn’t gone before starting the main storyline. So it seems like if you want to avoid this, do the storyline first
Interesting. I am pretty sure I was, like, one random decision away from having that bug with the distortions, but I decided to explore a different planet, instead of going to that one. I did the entire space pirate quest line and some other stuff, too, before touching the main story much at all.
I do think I have been incredibly lucky, over the years, to have been so entirely untouched by this kind of bug.
