Come on, it's acceptable for a huge game to have a few bugs I understand that. The problem with Bethesda is that every frigging of their game comes with a huge collection of bugs...
I remember playing Daggerfall on the PC, it was the most bugged game I have ever played....

GTA is a huge open world game too and doesn't come with 10% of the bugs of any Bethesda game...

 

What is not acceptable anyway is that the PS3 version got the same review as the 360 version everywhere. 

A tonn of reviewer out there didn't do their job at all...

First underline: Daggerfall was indeed one of the most bugged games ever. The non-patched version is nigh impossible to complete due to a series of gamebreaking bugs and glitches which kill main quest related characters or make some quest related items dissapear permanently or even faction reputation not increasing/decreasing as it should.

Second underline: There's distinctive reasons why Bethesda games are more buggied than any GTA game such as:

- Bethesda games having more NPC's/AI behaviours to calculate than any GTA game (GTA games camouflage their lack of NPCs with the amount of single-track cars)

- More quest varieties which have to link and calculate a huge amount of variables which lead to some bugs between the variables

- Much more world detail than any GTA game which leads to more texture pop-in or not loading at all, much more varied terrain geometry and locations and, more importantly, Bethesda games are much more immersive in their open-world experience than GTA games, which is only normal since it has been basically the same structure since Arena, unlike GTA which went the open-world route starting from GTA 3 (Both GTA and GTA1 had limited open-world capacities, both were very limited to what current missions you were doing).

If you want to compare a Rockstar game with a Bethesda game, then it would be more fair to do it with Red Dead Redemption, which also had a myriad of bugs if I recall correctly, including the infamours cougar man and some extremely bizarre AI oddities. As you create more complex open-world experiences, you tend to have more bugs and glitches in that experience as well.
