Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Immortal]

Just imagine the suits at Bethesda trying to address the fucked up black to everything else ratio in meetings about bug fixing

I imagine Todd browsing reddit to see what people think and just being bombarded by googly eyed black people in the worst lighting possible staring at the screen with deathly intent.. page after page after page.

Hopefully their Negro tech is improved in time for Elder Scrolls 6: Hammerfell.. I don't want a buncha scimitar wielding redguards going bug eyed at me.. I might shit my pants.

 

[Alter Sack]

Is it already released?

I thought the release date was september 6.

 

[Elttharion]

Well, that was fast, there is already a live action movie tie in for the game

Spoiler

 

[Late Bloomer]

Is it already released?

I thought the release date was september 6.

The premium (100 USD) edition released 31aug/1sep. Pirates are also playing it.

Jesus Christ.

Fallout 76 wiped the shine off Bethesda.. watching these large companies (Blizzard, Ubishit, Bethesda) get torn apart by normies is the only way we'll ever get better games again.

It took the retarded cons00mer masses a few extra years (decades) but even the plebs are getting tired of the slop shit that is being served.

Umm, uhh, yeah...

Just give me the fucking rainbow emoji and move on.
My cope tank is running on low anyways.

I anticipated it to have a woke agenda, but if they wanted to incorporate Black women into their sci-fi setting, they could have done it differently instead of portraying them as stereotypical welfare-dependent mothers from Walmart :

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Wow IGN review was right, Star-Inventory-limit-Field, or Destined-to-be-modded-out-ASAP-Field. It's like they learned all the wrong lessons from No Man's Sky.

 

[Gargaune]

So I found this giant landmark on Earth (small spoiler):

Really? You can land on Earth? Can you make an outpost on it?

You can, but most of it is snowy plains, or deserts. It seems like all major cities have some kind of land mark though, because near this one I found "Hong Kong snow globe" collectible item.

Codex GOTY 2023, finally a game that lets you put "not if you were the last man on Earth" to the test!

So the codexers playing it are either suckerz or pirates.

 

[Alter Sack]

Jesus, I mean the Bethesdas games always had ugly looking NPCs but that's another level of ugly.

Maybe mods will fix it?

Why not both?

 

[AwesomeButton]

Got 300xp as a reward, which brought me up to level 9. Now Alpha Centauri is a level 1 solar system, so I hope exploring the higher level ones will give more xp. The highest level solar system that I can see right now is level 70.

Dude I hope your enthusiasm lasts you to level 70.

I shall observe the progress of this experiment with keen interest.

If the generator sucks that much, no simple mod will fix it. You'd probably need to replace a lot of resources or create a new generator. It will probably require a lot of work.

Jesus Christ.

Given all of these, the fact the codex doesn't like it feels strange. Has this forum really aligned with mainstream tastes?

 

[AwesomeButton]

I wish, but I think it's more likely we'll get something even worse.

But any mods that fix NPCs by removing all the monkeys will get banned from Nexus. This should be great to watch.

Actually yes. Fo4 has a similiar generator for settlers and there is a mod that actually fixes their appearance.

Very simple to bypass, just that the modder will give you the option to remove whites.

There are whites in Starfield?

Imagine being Swen and rushing BG3 with an unfinished Act 3... because of this.

True, but Swen can at least patch that later with a definitive edition.

Betheslop will never improve.

Was it worth it? I guess it was fun hunting it down, but the next planet (level 10 or 15) be better very different and have some rare materials and big ass monsters or I'm not doing that again.

I have zero interest in doing the main quest, haven't done anything in that department. Knowing Bethesda it will probably be a let down anyway, and the meat of the game is in the exploration.

So with that, I can finally go to bed after playing this and writing here for almost 24 hours

Xp earned from planetary exploration and observation it's fixed all around, side quests are only for money mostly with small xp gain. To farm xp you have to attack npc ships but that's after u have finished the game and going straight to new game+ because of the amount of bounty u gonna have to generate.

 

[Lemming42]

what level are the planets now you are visiting, any cool monsters? Rare loot? Epic weapons?

So far, just by flying into systems, I've gotten:
- a quest where you determine the fate of a lost colony ship
- a quest where you unite farmers against spacers
- a distress call from people under siege
- some televised bloodsport where you have to evade giant alien crocodile things for prizes

Seems like most of the more interesting content is out there in the unexplored systems. Compared with the fetch quest stuff in the cities, it's a big step up.

Planet levels vary, I think I visited a level 30 planet and had to bail out pretty fast.
