Pazaak?First Tracker's Alliance quest is very good. In Zero G, you can slide mines like hockey pucks and do all kinds of cool shit. little weird that there's no ingame Gwent equivalent because the lockpicking is fun, so some kind of Space Mahjong would have been neat
Yes they can and historically have a record of doing so in regards to gameplay and immersive roleplaying. Ask anyone who played Horizon in Fallout 4 and Requiem for Skyrim. Bethesda's biggest problem as a developer is they implement a bunch of half-baked features and never fully deliver on their pitch... But it's enough for modders to work with.Mods can not fix Bethesda games.
I used a mod to remove the combat music to make it more chill, it was annoying having it play all the time when I was out hunting wildlifeHonest question - saw someone saying they needed a mod to replace music to fix the game. What was wrong with the music? I thought it fit the setting, reminded me of Holst's Planets (especially the later movements), and was enjoyable to listen to.
Starfield's introduction is definitely underwhelming. The cinematic opening before character creation is pretty good but everything after that feels like it just wants to get itself over with. Hi Barret. Shoot these guys. Bye Barrett, thanks for the ship. Shoot these ships. Do this random tutorial dungeon. Then it unceremoniously dumps you off at the biggest city in the game. There's no pageantry, no build up, no starter town, no attempt to invest the player in the action. They obviously took the criticisms of Skyrim and FO4's openings being too long and overdramatized to heart, but for the life of me I can't understand why you would take those concerns seriously. Not even the grognards who said that stuff meant it.It doesn't put its best foot forward. A lot of people will get to New Atlantis, have their patience worn out, pick a few random planets to land on and find that there's nothing there, then quit. Alternatively people might try to do a few main quest missions since the game shepherds you toward them immediately, and those aren't likely to make people stick around.how does SF have so many negative reviews? it's impossible. you haven't even experienced most of the mechanics until level 50. are people just leaving New Atlantis and walking around in circles on Jemison then getting bored and uninstalling?
I do find the openings of Oblivion, Skyrim, Fo3 and Fo4 to be overlong and melodramatic but I think the issue with them is mostly that they're too scripted which deters players from starting a new save (without alt start mods enabled). Starfield managed to be the worst of both worlds because it's over-long and makes you walk through the mine waiting for Lin and the dude to catch up with you and finish their scripted sequernces, and also forces you into a staggered space battle, but doesn't have the spectacle of Skyrim's dragon attack or Fo3's life-story to hook new players in.Starfield's introduction is definitely underwhelming.

isn't the New Game+ feature what adresses it? There is little reason to start completely fresh over doing a NG+ reset imo.I do find the openings of Oblivion, Skyrim, Fo3 and Fo4 to be overlong and melodramatic but I think the issue with them is mostly that they're too scripted which deters players from starting a new save (without alt start mods enabled).

This I said on 11 May. It's fucking hilarious how on point I was. How the hell could this be so obvious to me, someone who doesn't work in the business and has never played Starfield, but obscure and mysterious to not only Bethesda in general, but their analysts and finance experts?Now, there are three futures that I see:
Good Ending: Great modders have worked tirelessly to make competent gameplay overhauls, new story content (not main story, obviously) and improve base building into something useful and fun. These mods are getting dropped for free at the same time Creation Kit is released or soon after, either on Nexus Mods or as free Creation Club content with the blessing of Todd Howard himself. The community is happy, as at this point getting anything is like being granted water on a desert.
Bad Ending: Great modders have worked tirelessly and after Creation Kit is released you will be able to enjoy their wonderful mods that make Starfield vastly better experience...right after you pay the price for those mods on the Creation Club website. Nothing's free, the community melts down and the money flows. The greed wins. That would be shortsighted and not work in favour of long-term Starfield support, but a corporation wouldn't kneecap a project's long-term earnings by focusing on short-term money benefits, right...?
No-Hope-Left Ending: Modders have done nothing substantial as the mooding tools were half-baked so far. Vastly delayed Creation Kit launches after a year from release with nothing to show for it. The mods are being make from scratch once the tools are released, so it will be another year or two before we see anything worth looking at. The modding community for Starfield never reaches its potential and remains a shadow to Fallout and Skyrim's. The Starfield slowly dies, disappearing from sight of everyone.
what exactly is your point? there are both paid and free mods, and the only drama is over the price point of bethesda's modsIt's fucking hilarious how on point I was.
did you actually try hitting a wall? the cells are bigger than skyrim's map iircAlso, if Shattered Space is one planet, does that imply that the invisible walls are being removed and Beth figured out a way to avoid crashing when you go too far from your ship? It was caused by some floating point rounding bullshit, IIRC
i've never hit a wall, on max difficulty by the time I clear 2 or 3 POIs I have a shopping list of afflictions and have to run back to my ship.did you actually try hitting a wall? each cell is bigger than skyrim's map iircAlso, if Shattered Space is one planet, does that imply that the invisible walls are being removed and Beth figured out a way to avoid crashing when you go too far from your ship?
