    It’s been not even two months. Modders are going to have different priorities and incentives than a company will, not the least of which is a QA pipeline.

        No, it’s not. It’s just the nature of the differences between the two things. When you push code at a company putting out a consumer product, you have to be aware of all of the other things it affects. It’s also made by people who have to coordinate with each other, go home to their families, and fix 100 other bugs that the modder may not have noticed but are higher priority at Bethesda for a handful of different reasons. A modder can no-life their script for 36 straight hours and fix the one issue they were laser focused in on at the expense of something that they didn’t even know it affected.
