The hubis of the modders of newer Shitdesa games is impressive, damn, someone should tell them to hide their mods before someone pirates them because for sure nobody can make similar one- wait, there is mod doing exactly that, huh.

i do have to say that when you see a beautiful vista on some random moon it really does activate some dormant colonizing gene and you just have to build some mines and outposts on it
too bad theres no intelligent alien life to exploit for cheap labor
no other thing than to wait few years for mods, which for a bonus will most likely also enable me to have (consensual) sex with their women

Decided to give the game another chance since I have nothing else to play atm - I hit 19h playtime, and quitting again. The nail in the coffin was encountering the same exact fucking dungeon (down to same terminals with same notes and same item placement) 3 times. First 2 times I encountered it after checking literally the closest POI (~400m) to a major hand-made location, because some lying cuck said these POIs are often unique and not the radiant shit. 3rd time I encountered it in a fucking QUEST, where again, some lying cuck said the content was supposed to be unique and handmade. I'm done. This is asian cashgrab MMO tier lazy shit, it's impossible to get any enjoyment from this game unless you're lobotomized. I forced myself to finish a lot of games I've hated, just to be able to shit on them more efficiently, but I can't do this one, playing this is pure torture. It's literally the most bland, boring, absolutely souless piece of shit "RPG" I've seen in like the last 2 decades.

Fallout 4 was worse.

the repeating dungeons make it possible to memorize where the boss and loot chest is so you can quickly clear them. And yes most quest dungeons are hand crafted, maybe if you told us which quest that was?

"infinite copies of the same 6 dungeons? mind-numbing repetition is a good thing, here's why"

i don't like to get personal with people and lean heavily into insults, but you must be a game journalist.

I'm not saying that's a good thing, just saying that if you hunt for loot, you'll be seeing the same dungeons over and over. At this point I have memorized all designs and loot locations so I can run them quickly in hopes for some good loot. Not that I'm currently playing, mind you. I'm having more fun with a 15 year old MMO than Starfield right now.

bro... just F5 before you kill the boss then F9 if you don't like the drop.

Also, unrelated to the above back-and-forth, and the reason I came here to post. I just saw this:

The quality is inversely proportional, imagine everyone's shock.

If there are a handful of people at Bethesda who actually give a shit about their game, there's no way they can influence that tsunami of sewage coming in from fiverr, or wherever Todd gets his army of writers from.

why not just use console commands then, nah, the loot grind is fun if you're into ARPGs and stuff but severely lacking in interesting items that change up how you play your build.

I'm torn about this game. Ferret Baudoin was a friend of mine and Starfield was the last game he worked on before his death last year. So... do I play this in tribute to my friend or ignore it so it doesn't taint my memory of him?

In the above comparison Starfield is a superior game. The amount of skill checks alone beats both. Also few quests can be done in non lethal ways.
It felt like much worse shittier Deus Ex in some missions which is still better than shit that is Skyrim or F4.

I don't think making a dungeon in a vacuum, then populating it with random enemies and loot, and randomly inserting it in quests without even adjusting notes found during exploring it, and caring for context and shit, counts as hand crafted. When I say hand crafted, I expect it to make sense in context of its geographic location (you'd think a fucking pirate outpost POI 400m from a MAJOR settlement, would have at least a fucking note or smth, providing an explanation/context why the fuck it's there and apparently no one cares, for example), to have some relation to the quest items/NPCs that are placed inside it, etc.

The specific quest I'm talking about, was the one in the first system in the game, at Gagarin station, given by the Reliant Medical chick. You have to track a courier who was supposed to deliver a package, then go hunt some nigger who stole it. Said nigger is in a dungeon that I encountered 2 times before, they were too fucking lazy to even change shit like notes on the terminals or item placement n shit, to tie in any way into the quest, they just literally took one of the random dungeons then put the NPC in there, great fucking design, laziest shit I've seen since DA2 reused locations.
