A Doomed Mission to Thebesda

Bethesda games are notorious for their bugs and glitches, so much so that some gamers will not buy any new release until the patches and updates are issued. But people buy them eventually, because they have titles like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Oblivion, and Starfield. The company did not seek such a reputation, but they kind of embrace it, as evidence that they "embrace the chaos" and lean into creativity. Still, functionality matters.

Viva La Dirt League illustrates how Bethesda games fell by making the company into its own location, called Thebesda, in this episode of Epic NPC Man. Our hero, Reaper9691, is sent on a quest to Thebsesda, one he takes with trepidation because he's been warned. He finds that nothing is as it should be, and it's impossible to get anywhere or do anything. The skit ends with a warning, not to be taken seriously. It must have been quite a bit of work to make all these glitches.
