Starfield - Epic Shit Takes from Bethestards

[Vic]

I'm kind of digging the New Game+ loop. Because you lose all your gear, you have to gear up from the beginning, which makes a lot of loot useful early on.

But the ship you get sucks, no bed, no crafting tables, tho it's super fast. I switched back to the Frontier, that ship has grown on me.

I've been trawling back trough the thread and the character models are next level ugly

Why didn't Starfield go bold and do something graphically akin to this post? It would have looked fresh and taken the aforementioned developmental leap. It just looks like all veteran developers (looking at Toddler/ Cain, Boyarsky (Outer Worlds) are just jaded now and looking to make a quick mega buck.

Brofisted your post, but on the subject of character faces, it's important to remember that the unique, interactable NPCs are generally far better designed than the procedurally-generated, non-interactive NPCs that exist only in order to fill space in settlements.

These are probably the nine most attractive women for which I have suitable screenshots, who are not necessarily the nine most attractive women I've encountered, much less in the entire game:

Granted, the supposed existence of technology that allows for complete facial alteration would realistically result in women being far more attractive than is the case in the game.

No love for this chick? lighting is kind of bad

 

[Gerrard]

what is up with her melted eyes?

were all the NPCs run through an uglification algorithm? They just look misshapen.

 

[Vic]

that's the weapon dealer in Akila

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Sarah looks better in her space suit. Something about her stringy hair and normal lighting makes her look unusually gross.

Like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dated a girl that was hideous under the wrong light.

 

[FugueLah]

Andreja is the only waifu you need.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Yes, Belle Rowland, one of the weapons dealers in Akila City, which also features Alejandra Kane, the proprietress of the minerals store, who has almost no dialogue and doesn't seem to be involved in any quests:

 

[Vic]

ah but she has plenty of dialogue on her mugs on the shelf

 

[Vic]

must have mods: (they do not exist yet, not all at least)

> pronoun remover
> UI mod
> better fast travel
> race rebalance
> no feminist coffee mug text
> beautiful women's faces
> change appearance of many voiced NPCs to make them less diverse and fit the setting better

and with one or two story DLCs it's a 10/10 game

Personally for me:
> more interesting POIs
> collectibles
> more armour set pieces
> more realistic combat
> blood & gore
> more companions that aren't fucking boring
> more ship stuff
> some kind of land vehicle

Except almost all multi-alien fiction just portrays the aliens the way you would a human, or very close to it.

Absolutely. Starfield basically has alien humans in it (no, not the Mexicans), including some weird cult thing and disgruntled spacers who want your shit. Give them a bipedal alien paint job and nobody would blink an eye.
I doubt that would make the game better though.

I was 99% sure before the (pre-)release the story will be about first contact as there were no aliens in trailers. But apparently not?

I thought you guys were fucking around with the Starborn thing but it's literally space Skyrim with you finding Space Word Walls and learning Space Shouts. Incredible. All of them are shit, as well, nothing nearly as empowering feeling as Fus Roh Dah. They all feel shitty and weak and it's not clear what a lot of them even do.

New dialogue options in New Game+ because you've already seen the future as a Starborn

This is actually impressive. How often does it happen though?

How is adding one sentence impressive?

 

[Levenmouth]

To remove pronouns:

Honestly, this is getting a little too schizo now. Imagine actually going out of your way to remove something you see for a second at the end of char gen. Anti-woke actually managed to surpass woke in terms of retardation.

New dialogue options in New Game+ because you've already seen the future as a Starborn

ironically the starborn cant actually do anything useful with his foreknowledge. You still have to go through the same steps for the quests, so if you need to find someone, you still have to ask around, even though you know exactly where they are.

well at least you can skip the whole main quest

 

[Alienman]

Is worse than that tho. Lack of heels is a thing but even if i dont want to wear heels that day if i want to dress fancy i wear laced sandals dresses that shows legs or with sides of the torso. Or even a little bit of cleavage.
Proble is the game even for common clothes makes everyone wear gender neutered crap looks like sleepwear

That is the pronoun future you have no problem with.

 

[biggs]

can you be an asshole in this game?

I can't stand a single npc that I've seen in clips and would want to launch each of them into deep space

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Saw this review today, dude was merciless.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

Saw this review today, dude was merciless.

Seems this dude is just doing that for clicks a lot of stuff he said i disagree with. Skyrim has more roleplay elements? Is he on drugs? Now come on starfield is FAR from perfect but one can't be so idiot lol.
Loading screens!
Absence of roleplay elements.
Oh no invisible wall!

This dude is one of those that CDPR aimed for when they released Cyberpunk.
Seamless this seamless that and ultimately the game is shallow as a puddle.

Was waiting for more proof that it's better than Outer Worlds

Way to go Todd!

Why is the company called Bethesda?

The name is derived from the Biblical "Pool of Bethesda," which in Hebrew means "House of Kindness."

Sarah Morgan (jewish name) is a fictitious character that represents the internazionale juden elite that wants to show the world the path to enlightenment.

Sarah Morgan is nice!
She is my companion of choice.

She is a space Karen. Terrible
