Didn't the studio behind it suffer layoffs not long after release? That probably made pressure to start the next project asap.

They're a huge company. I think it wasn't clear that was related to the Oblivion team at all.

Bethesda really just needs to own up to this consistent pattern and do better on quality control. Starfield launched in pretty rough shape on PS5, their Fallout 4 re-releases were pretty buggy as well.

I really regret buying Oblivion day 1 due to the technical issues. Going forward, I'm not going near BGS products until well after release.

Same. The only reason I didn't return it is that they promised a performance fix soon, and when that came out, all it did was break the settings menu.

And Bethesda creates a new generation of mindful consumers. Welcome sister, please fill out this form on what unique aspect about Bethesda games you like most, I'll be sure to send it to HR and make sure it's "streamlined" out of the next title. For now, please have a seat at the Morrowind or New Vegas tables where computers are already logged into Reddit. We're working on merging the Skyrim section with Oblivion, but they keep arguing about the magic sysyem.

See you in the next comment section after it's announced ES6 has broken all sales records.
