It's cool, facial expressions can be modded in later.

Just have him say his face is tired if the animations aren't up to snuff and see if that's good enough for your audience. Don't bother with improvements unless the memes start having a negative effect on your stock prices, okay?

You see those frowned eyebrows ? You can climb on these.

Starfield is also showing that Beth has a long term issue, its engine which has been a core strong point to allow them to make the specific types of games they like to make is clearly needing at least have a major overhaul if not a new rewrite.

It doesn't help that Starfield isn't that great of a game. I figure when I get around to upgrading from a 1050 Ti the game might have mods and improvements to make it better than what it is right now.

Born in 1970, so yes.

A bug with Starfield's item system makes your game more likely to crash the longer you play it

https://www.techradar.com/gaming/co...e-more-likely-to-crash-the-longer-you-play-it

It all boils down to something called dynamic form IDs. These are strings of data that Starfield uses to keep track of items in the game. As you move through the game's vast, lonely galaxy, you'll find yourself moving items around, taking gear off of deceased enemies, and leaving behind unwanted space junk. This creates more dynamic form IDs to keep track of what you've done with all your loot. The more there are, the more moving parts your save file has, and, as any coder will tell you, this means there are more ways it can crash.

Were the game working properly, these IDs would recycle themselves every so often, keeping your save file clean. However, for whatever reason, this refresh doesn't trigger in Starfield as is, increasing the likelihood of a crash

And I thought they fixed it already... about 15 years ago.

The game is supposed to actually recycle ID numbers, in which case the available storage is more than sufficient for any length of gameplay, no matter how quickly various scripts choose to use ID numbers. Bethesda's Official Path fixes the problem by making the recycling system work as originally intended.

BTW, long time reader, registered just to post this because I couldn't believe Bethesda managed to repeat the same bug again.

Watch it just be an AI upscaled remaster.

Every remaster and every sequel is in danger of being complete shit. These modern devs and corporate whores can't wait to get their grubby hands on old ip's and taint them.

But enough about Larian, this thread is about Bethesda

I actually still have it installed but haven't played since 9/26

I've been waiting for some kind of big patch but maybe next year

I'm curious about the "new ways of traveling".

More load screens.

Starfield is actually a real RPG compared to 2077. My character took Serpent Worshiper and convinced Sarah to chant an ancient incantation to convince House Va'ruun ships not to blast us out of the sky. Splitting up bribery, intimidation, and diplomacy combined with the new persuasion minigame was a great choice.

All the negative reviews are bought. I wonder why a game about using firearms to help a blonde MILF explore the galaxy for space Christians got blasted by critics...

how its going starcucks?
