Very fun game, even if settlements always need your help

Classic Bethesday move. Take a game that is functional and break it by adding a bunch of junk that nobody wanted to begin with. Creation bundle sucks. I didn't even buy it but every time I boot it prompts me to install them, and then remains stuck on a loading screen. No option to not download them, so this game is now hard-disabled for me. Reinstalls and verification of game files hasn't helped. What a waste.

I wish the creators sold the game off, game is a master piece but always crashes ;(
