   They should have a word with Valve about how to release DLC.

   That is true! They are the best for bringing out updates! TF2 and L4D to name a few! and they always work properly and i've also noticed that if there is a few bugs or problems then Valve sort it out within 2 days! awsome stuff. maybe they should talk to valve? you know, so they can release it trough steam? then updating it will be easyer. i don't own the game (yet) but i plan to soon.

   What a disappointment. It's almost funny, really, how Bethesda can produce such amazing products and yet manage to screw them up so badly with showstopping bugs. I mean, you take a look at any Bethesda title and it's obvious they have a lot of developer talent. Then you look at the same game post-release and you wonder if their QA team is on permanent vacation. It's been the case for Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and now Fallout 3. Each of which, in their own right, are impressive and outstanding games. And yet, each of them was marred by incredibly frustrating bugs, many of which they ultimately left up to fans to fix.

   I second everyone's comments. Valve has it down to a science with Steam. That Windows Live client is a frickin' nightmare. It agitates me to no end that I have to wrestle with that just to get updates and DLC content that is auto-pilot with Steam.And it is amazing how Bethesda cranks out top-of-the-line, award winning games and then fails miserably at the small stuff. I don't know who is in charge of their QA department, but guess what - they're not doing their job.

Sure, I finished the game in the end, but still wanted to wander around, but not with these bugs.I *might* try it later again, like I've done with STALKER, another great atmospheric RPG plagued with bugs.

[/quote]Daggerfall and Morrowind both had severe bug issues following release. Daggerfall was the worst, though Morrowind was definitely not bug-free.I had surprisingly few problems with Fallout 3 at first. Once they started releasing DLC for it though, it was nothing but nightmares.
