Can't talk about Tomb Raider or Halo 5 (which has the unwinnable (IMO) battle of being a Xbone exclusive and turning around Halo 4s utter meh-ity), because my interest in them was never there to begin with.

I'll still be playing the crap out of Fallout 4 though, but... Is that going to be an issue? I'm currently playing the crap out of New Vegas in sweet sweet anticipation... It's not getting in the way of Esoterics/Scrips, so I can't see 4 doing so either. I am going to have to wait a while for Fallout 4s many bugs to be fixed, so I'm likely to be stopping by the Gold Saucer for some Lord of Verminion when I hit my 6th crash to desktop within 10 minutes of playing 4...
I always see this stuff about Bethesda games but never experience their "unplayable" state, maybe I'm just incredibly lucky? As for the rest, anyone "invested" into the gaming medium knows how much shit sells, as long as it's by the right publisher and having the large name of Star Wars attached will only help that. Battlefield 4 has sold over 7 million copies to date and that's the numbers from over a year ago, that game was a horrendous pile shite on release. There will always be that vocal minority that scream the franchise's death, but they always go on. I'm sure we're all familiar with that. The thing is though, most MMO players don't care enough to post about their dislike with how things are going, and just unsubscribe.

If they're enjoying Fallout 4 and then the chore of doing the scrips or capping Eso is on the back of their head why would they stop playing FO4 in the possibly little time they have to do those things? Unfortunately I paid in advance until December as I thought the patch was going to be out mid-September, but that was my mistake. The way I see it is "Should I continue subscribing this game and play it alongside these other games?" or "Should I take a break for 1-2 months and return to a heap of a content with only 1-2 months left to go until I get more?", but as I said, we'll never know as SE doesn't release sub numbers.
