Seems like there isn't an official place to make them. One that Bethesda actually looks at it seems. I have a laundry list of them. Seems like having a consolidated place that is moderated and keeps tally on numbers of reports for specific bugs would be super helpful, don't you thing?

The PC section has a Bug report topic: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1544248-bug-report-index-pc/

Not sure about the Xbox or PS4 forums.

I don't know of an official place...maybe they are keeping track when people contact Bethesda directly about bug issues...

But if you would like to discuss your particular issues on here, try this...http://www.gamesas.com/forum/316-fallout-4-hardware-software-issues/

So neither of those are official in any real capacity. Every game Bethesda has ever released has showed the inability of their QA testers to find all the (many) issues in their games. So why haven't they ever made a formal bug report system that feeds stats of reports directly to them regardless of system (obviously you specify you system, but everyone reports in the same place) We are the biggest QA team, now give us the tools to actually help you. The irony is some games that have less bugs (subjective I know) have formal systems to help the bug identification/remedy process.


So why won't you Bethesda. The biggest issue is that they seem to rely to heavily on both the command console and the modders to "fix" many bugs on their behalf. The problem there is that a chunk of the playerbase is on consoles, and we dont have access to a command console or mods (yet, and wven when we get them it still is no excuse)


Basically I am tired of my gauss rilfes reflex sight not working properly, swinging melee weapons in PA faster in third person than first, PA holding two-handed weapons in one hand in third person but not first, my Pain Train perk not working anymore, and a bunch of other things none of you patches have seem to acknowledge. I realize in this game there are thousands and thousands of variables. And that that makes it difficult to fix issues but making a formal, consolidated place to report them might help.

I think the "let the modders fix it" mentality is OK (at least it shows BGS is cool with modding), but they've left too much/too many unfinished/broken things in this title.

That mentality is both lazy and neglects the console fanbase.

Only if they over-rely on it (which I think they did, this time).

For the record, I'm part of that console crowd (XB1).
