Man I am really annoyed with the generic "citizen" and how big the cities are. I guess Fallout 3/4 was also like this with generic citizens but the size of the city is too massive SF resulting in a very empty feeling.

They took the wrong shit with "bot" citizen from CP or someshit

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

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

Betheslop will never improve.
On the other hand, mods might fix it.
And nothing will fix Larian writing.
What? I'm not the fan of BG3 writing, it's probably the weakest part of the game, but it's still way ahead of Starfield. At least it engages you, instead of making you jus wait until NPC shuts up.
Bethesda writing wins by not really being a thing. You can't fail if you don't even try.
People just want engine for the smut mods and goofy YT videos.

Although given the recent developments, I'm really not sure if people will want to put smut in this game.

Ok, that should play better.

- Ugly sweatpants.

<cheff kiss>

This is unironically (and unintentionally) very interesting style. If you remove it from the game, you will make it worse and much blander.
You should embrace it and roleplay it as some kind of early idiocracy comedic dystopia.

How does the pistol deal more damage when you wear less armour? Are you throwing the bullets?

Since FO4 Bethestard is injecting ARPG suffix/affix to their supposed "scifi" games for itemisation. I remember finding a wooden plank that deal ice damage in FO4.

probably their shittiest decision in recent years

Soooo... is the game any good?

What do you mean by "good" in case of Bethesda games? Morrowind? The not.

But frankly even if you enjoy it for just modern-Bethesda "explore around and kill shit", it still not that good. The problem is doing "muh hundreds planet muh inifnite exploration" is that the result is just some barren land with some cave here and some space station there. No landmark, no environment. Just barren land with locations sprinkled in.

Some can be "good" like the first planet (there are certainly some hand placed content there) but otherwise exploration get olds.

Looks like somebody forgot to put an "if cell is empty then" clause before the "PlantTree()" function :-D

The problem is now why Starfield is in such a sorry state, the problem is that we are looking at what The Elder Scrolls VI will look and play like.
Oh come on you know they can and will do a lot worse when TESVI comes out in 6 years. Decline has no limits.

Right, because it's going to be in Hammerfell.
They got the games mixed up and added all the Redguards to this game.
