    Wow, that's massive. Hopefully it's a good sign that they are paying attention to feedback and fixing everything they can!!

    One good thing about Bethesda is they appear to listen to their community, but this really isn't good enough IMO.

    If the game isn't ready it should have been delayed rather than releasing a Beta which was pre-Alpha state and then such a huge day 1 patch. I'd be sick as a pig if I opted for physical to then have to download a patch BIGGER than the game itself.

    I'm a miserable old git though so maybe it just isn't that big a deal to some.

    You have a point, though. I understand they have patches and fixes ready, and aren't aware of some broken things, and try to get things dealt with asap.. But for a patch of this magnitude, you'd think they would be aware of such issues, especially for a "AAA" game.

    Fully agree. I have no complaints with day one patches within reason. I'd imagine a huge percentage of them can't be helped. But as you say, day 1 of this size is really not acceptable of a triple a.
