In all honesty, i doubt, it will be as bad as 76.
Unless they try to push the creation club by blocking mods and thus community patches,
It wont be nearly as bad.
A lot of the issues with 76 stem from it being a multiplayer game.
The multiplayer aspect prevented mods& community bugfixes, and caused Cheaters & p2w.
Buggy messes are honestly what Bethesda's already known for, so unless they are foolish enough to block the unofficial patches,
Its gonna be a somewhat decent release even if it won't live up to the hype.
I still wouldn't be caught dead preordering anything Bethesda made,
But it certainly won't be as disastrous as 76
Unlike certain other devs/publishers I don't think Bethesda are dumb enough to think Skyrim would have been so successful for so long if they'd blocked mods.
If there's one company I'm certain values mods very highly, it's Bethesda. Simultaneously it wouldn't surprise me at all if they put in the creation club right from the get go and tried pushing it more. But outright blocking, or hindering the creation of "normal" mods, doesn't seem like something they'd do.
howard, director of the studio is also explicitly pro modding
Bethesda knows what it has, any push towards blocking modding is going to be a decision from higher up (microsoft, zenimax)
