Why add new content, but still leave the bugs in?

One of the very few game breakers is still in the game even though the patch is up to 1.5.. The Reverend's ring.. speaking to him with a full inventory doesn't give you the ring and the dialog option is gone.. I haven't played for a while and it was by sheer chance I remembered in time to reload to a previous save.I'm all for getting new content (although I realise it's all amature stuff... it's still too amature to be of any entertainment value, bugs, misfiring quest.. just makes the '1.5' look shabby and not in anyway worth it)... but fix the bugs in the original game.I like this game, but I would have though by now,that if you were still 'supporting' it (although unfortunately 'support' just means packaging a whole bunch of second rate material together and announcing it as new :/) that you would have at least made an effort to clean the game up a bit, the ring bug has been known from the start...:

Cool your jets a bit.Understand that 1.5 wasn't really a bug fix patch at all, rather just a chance to remove DVD dependancy and merge hotfixes into a proper version number.True, bugs do still exist, and sadly you cannot expect bugfix support to continue when the devs are now working on a sequel.But you must understand (or remember) just how bad it really USED to be (all the way back to 1.0), when bugs crashed the game regularly and the english dialogue was poorly cut and in some places poorly acted. The emergeance of the Enhanced Edition was a step towards what it should have been, but again the game is fairly complex and bugs difficult to locate and fix.Yes, it is unfortunate that the ring bug continues, but unless some modders out there and fix the problem with a 3rd party patch, I don't think this and other bugs will ever be addressed now.Don't blow your top over bugs, just learn to live with them and save more regularly like the rest of us. This sort of comment doesn't help convince the devs to fix the problem. Take a more pro-active approach, collate all the common quest bugs still prevalent in the game and petition CDProjeckt Red for a new patch. You may be surprised with the results.

Umm?Exactly who blew their top?.. My critisism is hardly 'too much', considering that things like this were among the very first comments to be put on this board post-release...and FYI, it's people like you who don't do enough complaining, but opt instead for over optimism, that allow the developers to continue to ignore issues in games.. It's the same with all games forums.. the people who start complaining about issues that just simply shouldn't exist get shouted down by the so called 'reasonable' element and nothing gets done.... so instead of trying to shut me up when in actual fact I haven't said anything unreasonable.. maybe you should support your fellow gamers desire for a better experience, instead of just adding to the difficulties of trying to get something done... and as for the 'wait for the sequel' arguements, that's even worse.. prove the quality NOW and EARN my money for the next release (I'm not saying that CDP haven't... but I'm ENTIRELY sick of that shortsighted point of view).As said, I enjoy the game, and I've made more that one post in support of the developers, but after two years and a so called 1.5 release, which added nothing but shoddy, amature modules, which I have given up on because the time invested in playing them is simply not worth it, either through quality or bugs, and still no sight of major bugs being fixed in the original material...calling it a 1.5 is a rather large stretch... and to expect further wear out of it under these circumstances is an even further stretch.So instead of expecting further kudos for not actually doing anything to the game except bundling other peoples works to it.. why not prove they are the producers of premier quality (which I think they have every ability to be) and fix the game that has garnered them so much praise, instead of trying to sell us a sequel, that in all probability will suffer from a whole new set of untended bugs if they are constantly apologised for by posters like yourself, and allowed to leave this game the way it is.... and this small but game breaking problem certainly isn't the only issue.

patches are a publishing deal too also sometime new content is easier to add than to hung rare bugs or fix a 9 years old engine :hmmm:
