As it says in the topic. I stopped playing a few years ago, because it was just absolutely filled with bugs. Is that still the case? I saw it was on sale and was thinking about getting it.

I went for it because it was on sale again. Really enjoyed playing, even with the minor bugs that whilst annoying, could be worked through. Then I got stuck into a loop whereby I was issued with an arrest warrant, stripped of all titles (without a trial) not once, but repeatedly. I tried everything the game mechanics could offer to resolve this, but there was no other solution but to quit and start again.

Needless to say, after wasting so many hours for that to happen, I simply removed the game from my HD. A better solution overall to prevent further frustration. :)

There are two famous mods that are supposed to fix some bugs but they may add new ones too: http://steamcommunity.com/app/39680/discussions/0/405690850610100764

Neither iron out some of the more frustrating bugs though, sadly. It's such a shame because this really could have been a masterpiece of a game, were it not for the bugs and issues.

there is a new version of the megamod out right now, so maybe now are the bugs gone that prevent you from playing this game?
