My "nExT gEn" update experience:

1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

• The Midnight Ride:

• ESO-UI High End:

Skyrim Fans:

The updates will continue until morale improves.

Reason #150 on why Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout:

Bethesda despises it so much that it'll never get an update, remaster, or get repacked into an anniversary edition.

No Todds, No Masters

They actually made the load time worse with their update. Not by a little, by a fucking tonne. Going from any interior to outside now takes like a full minute and 30 seconds, its ridiculous.

This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.

let me guess, they still did not learn to add a beta branch for the old version after all the shit with skyrim mods and anniversary edition

Yeah I know, the show came out and everyone is hyped because of that. But maybe put those resources into fixing shit in Starfield?

Leave Bethsoft alone guys. They're all out of fun game ideas and need something to do.

Todd Howard: we hear you fans, we are currently working on updates for Morrowind, Starfield and Elder Scrolls Online which will break add-on/mod support and ruin the frame rate for those games instead of just FO4!

Shouldn't they just beg Bethesda to incorporate the script extenders directly into the new releases or the script extender devs to update?

I play vanilla. As long as the updates stop my constant crashes on Linux, update away.

Still haven't updated to the new update. You just have to swap an app manifest file, takes 5 seconds.

I'm not sure why people with modded setups updated, I guess they had yet to learn that lesson.

So, they're giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it's received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it's future proofed.

The most thriving mod communities are ones for games that have essentially been abandoned by their publisher. Bethesda is infamous for trying to integrate with its modding scene and personally I don’t care for it.

Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard. All companies I no longer spend my money on.
