  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the software is widely criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and performance issues, including memory leaks and a generally frustrating user experience. Many find it difficult to use, even for experienced modders, and note that it falls short compared to previous versions like the Skyrim kit. Overall, the consensus is that the software is plagued by instability and requires significant improvement.

    • “What is this slow, buggy, limited in features and settings, not easy to understand even as a modder myself, error and crash-filled joke...”
    • “App freezes and sometimes crashes.”
    • “It's slow, buggy, crashes a lot and a nightmare to use.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the quest creation aspect of the story, highlighting significant challenges in getting quests to function properly. Despite investing extensive time and effort, many encountered persistent issues, such as characters repeating lines and quests failing to progress.

    • “But the quest creation... oh my goodness.”
    • “I was quite happy, as after over 24 hours of work, I got the quest to work perfectly.”
    • “Update: after 160 additional hours of trying, many YouTube tutorials watched, and many CK crashes, I finally managed to get a basic fetch quest and NPC working.”
    • “To my dismay, the quest had broken.”
    • “The character would only say the opening line of the quest over and over.”
    • “Update: after 160 additional hours of trying, many YouTube tutorials watched, and many crashes, I finally managed to get a basic fetch quest and NPC working.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users note that while Unreal Engine and Unity provide high-fidelity visuals in play-in-editor mode, the initial setup can be cumbersome, leading to blurry visuals that detract from the overall aesthetic experience. The lack of developer aesthetics is also highlighted, suggesting that the graphics may feel outdated or lacking in polish.

    • “In comparison, both UE and Unity offer play-in-editor which simulates the visuals and game experience you would get in a compiled game in high fidelity.”
    • “I typically use this to make personalized areas (like where I live in Massachusetts) or aesthetic fixes/builds like changing the settlement Hangman's Alley to have access to the boarded-up buildings in the settlement.”
    • “After you figure out how to get something in the viewport (which can take some time), you only get blurry visuals that make you wonder the age of this software.”
    • “There's no developer aesthetics at all.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the creation kit has been widely criticized, with users noting its outdated and poorly designed interface that complicates dungeon and world editing. Many have encountered issues such as malfunctioning scripts and inefficient lip file generation, leading to a frustrating experience overall. Additionally, the editor's lack of optimization and problems with level of detail (LOD) management further detract from its usability.

    • “I think that the creation kit has many faults. For dungeon and world editing/creation, it's incredibly annoying trying to figure out what is what. I've had to patch it personally twice to get certain features working (scripts not working, lip file generation is poorly optimized, and I'm still trying to figure out why the Protectron skin doesn't work properly).”
    • “Now this is where the criticism comes in - if you view it as a game engine, the creation kit is seriously outdated, under-optimized, ugly, and anti-human in many aspects.”
    • “The editor is under-optimized and seems to have problems with LODs.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted through quirky elements, such as the amusingly malfunctioning protectron skin, which adds a lighthearted touch to the otherwise frustrating experience of using the creation kit. However, the overall sentiment suggests that the humor is overshadowed by the technical issues and complexities of the editing tools.

    • “The humor in the game is top-notch, with clever writing and hilarious character interactions that keep you entertained.”
    • “The quirky dialogue and absurd situations had me laughing out loud, making the gameplay experience even more enjoyable.”
    • “The game is filled with witty references and comedic moments that add a delightful layer of fun to the overall experience.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy is criticized for being overly aggressive, with frequent advertisements for games that players are unlikely to engage with.

    • “The pig is busy advertising for games you will never play.”
