Give Bethesda a break. Yes, their games are buggy at launch, but they're also wide open worlds with a lot of variables, scripts, ai/pathfinding/stat/etc. calculations, and a ton of physics. While yes, more bugtesting should be done, in games like these you can't account for every single possibility until you give it to actual players. Besides, they're usually pretty good at patching. The last patches of FNV and Skyrim are pretty much crashless unless you mod them, in which case it's partially the modders' fault a lot of the time.
Bethesda doesn't deserve credit for their abilities as actual game devs beyond making such ambitious titles work at all, even if poorly, what they deserve credit for is how these games always overcome their apparently sub-par coding to become wildly popular and well received.
