Starfield fans prepare bug fixes for Bethesda game that’s not out for nine months

Given how buggy past Bethesda games have been at launch, fans are preparing to fix Starfield with a community made patch.

If there’s one thing Bethesda is famous for, it’s crafting some of the most beloved Western role-playing games in game history, from the infinitely re-released The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim to the beloved Fallout franchise.

They’re so convinced that the game is going to broken at launch that rather than demand better or, you know, not buy it until it’s fixed, they’ve already started working on mods to fix everything from spelling errors to faulty missions and side quests.

The project has its own page on Modding Wiki, (first spotted by PCGamesN) where it says that anyone is welcome to contribute, either with modding work or by reporting bugs for the patch to address.
