Fallout 3 Anniversary Edition: 9 Longstanding Issues Bethesda Must Fix

6. Solve The Bugs That STILL Plague The Game

It's a running joke now that Bethesda are seemingly incapable of releasing a game that isn't teaming with (often game-breaking) bugs and glitches. Hell, although Skyrim Remastered was supposed to be the definitive edition of the title, it still shipped with a bevy of problems that haunted the original release, a mistake the developers can't afford to repeat with this upcoming project.

While there used to be some humour to be found in Bethesda's broken games, the charm has long since worn off, especially when so many other titles of the same scale come out with none of the same problems. Likewise, it's not going to help their reputation if they re-release a 10-year-old game that hasn't had a technical touch-up, which would immediately make the release seem like a quick cash grab.

Fallout 3 isn't as spotty as it was at launch, but it can't ship with the same bugs that have plagued players for a decade now.
