Pretty much everything you've seen impact Bethesda games of the past can be seen here, from a handful of potential quest bugs to wacky A.I. pathfinding and a number of physics-based anomalies. I'm also not sure whether or not an early story mission become unbeatable on a test file, because I'm sure the raiders I needed to kill weren't spawning.

This wouldn't be such a problem if the one weren't the core Brotherhood of Steel quest line, and the other from the core story.
As it stands, I'm more than 60 hours into the game, and feeling like the whole experience is now a wash. :/
But how long the awaiting will be? Can't believe major game maker still maintain that business practice of shipping broken game. Yet, the game will be a massive one day record sale and nothing will change.
People are upset that people buy these "broken" games. They should have tested every possible combination of hardware first. And there is no patch yet because it's not fully released yet(like the patch every other game needs)
I said this would be the case weeks ago, but let's see if the PC community will man up and treat this game like any other or instead give it special treatment
some are never fixed. "modders will fix it" will be the apologists moto. Just repeat that phrase to yourself regarding any bethesda game and youll be right at home.
Well, duh! It's a Bethesda game! It wouldn't be one if it didn't have mess loads of bugs. I'll wait until the GoTY edition. By then modders should have taken care of most of the bugs, since I don't expect Bethesda to do so. The Unofficial Skyrim Fallout 4 Patch should take care of those. lol

Funny how they announced a month ago that the game went Gold. Hilarious! What a bunch of clowns! I realize that in most cases Gold mean the development/content is complete, but come on...What have they done in this last month? And are they really expecting people to believe that they didn't know about these bugs?! Of course they did! They just figured they'll release the game to cash in and try to fix it later.
Pathetic developers are pathetic! State of gaming nowadays is in the toilet! And some people will defend them to no end, even though all they care about is money and laughing all the way to the bank.
In any case, as long as it's not as bad as New Vegas was on launch day (it was a stuttery, crash-to-desktop mess that made me realize the value of F5), it'll probably just be moderately annoying at worst. I don't get full of hatred for buggy games like some other posters here, and I certainly don't think it's necessary to wage a 30-page holy war about it, since it's... a game.

Technically gold means that you have a build that will burn into DVDs. In any case there is nothing wrong with day 1 patches, between going gold and release day the QA process goes on. Most likely they knew about those bugs,or the most important of them and they were deemed "Known Shippable" (yes I work in the games industry for a big company, bigger than Beth actually and it happens all the time)-
R9 290X, running the game on 1440p it stucks at 20fps, splash screen, movies,cutscenes, everything, I suspect it is radeon specific, anyone else having the same issue? Any workarounds?
"Journalists" who report bullcrap like this should be given a permanent gag order. Oh my god? ?!?!?! A GAME HAS BUGS ON RELEASE? HOW DARE IT! Better spam this all over my crappy website to get more views and money.

It's Kotaku, not sure what else you should expect from them. Kotaku is known for their click bait gaming articles. Not to mention the false information and and blatant exaggeration.
