Starfield Thread - now with Shattered Space horror expansion

[Mortmal]

For those who are further in the game, is it possible to get rid of Sarah Morgan and find another waifu? I just want jetison her. She's not a good waifu always nagging and moralizing. She dislikes everything I choose. For example, when I blew up the passenger ship, which was obliviously the right thing to do to get faster into the Crimson Fleet, she nagged again, my real girlfriend, she would never ever do that, she would not even bat an eyelid about blowing up a civilian ship! Then, when I asked the president about opening the archives (by the way, it's impossible to shoot the president in the head), she didn't like that either.... I don't want spoilers, but will we encounter cooler companions later in the game?

The planet exploration seems like a colossal waste of time just like in No Man’s Sky. Sure you can do all that stuff, but why would you do that?

Yea the game also encourages you to only do enough space exploration to scan resources anyway

Side note: I think Bethesda missed a huge opportunity with this setting. They could have done a futuristic fantasy setting, like their own Warhammer 40k, sans the grimdark.

Instead, they settled for this generic future, where Earth got destroyed so that they don't have to create a bunch of Earth cities.

They said their inspirations were Traveller, SunDog, Wing Commander, and FTL. I'll be damned if that's not exactly what we got.

That's my impression from the gameplay I saw (minus the bug memes, they're hilarious but come on, that's Bethesda charme). SciFi has for a long time now been more niche than Fantasy. And I don't consider Star Wars SciFi.
That's fucking High Fantasy in space to be honest. Doesn't count. Starfield is clearly aiming for the sleek SciFi look for the most part.

The reception is very reminiscent of Alien: Isolation and Prey right down to major outlets like IGN and Gamespot giving controversial scores.

"Sense Star Stuff" is useful for clearing out bases

This feature has been in every TES Fallout Bethesda game since nearly the beginning.

I'm trying to check player count of Starfield on Steamcharts, but it keeps giving "internal server errors".
Anyone else having this problem?

One of the biggest flaws with the game and Beth games in general is that they tend to give you too much power at the end of relatively easy quest chains. The Stroud questline just gives you a behemoth of class c ship for free/100k credits. The Freestar Ranger chain gives you a 28 energy class A with class c like power. Granted, the ship battle quest requires a decent ship, but it is still on the easy side. The game could use requiem-like mod to balance the progression, so these questlines are at least gated by difficult content and/or high-level skill checks.

Just check https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed, steamcharts doesn't initialize playercount for a day or two.

Don't give a fuck how based that dude is his voice is fucking horrible. I could never take anything he says seriously. Plus, he is friends with Arch, who is a furfag.

True story: I was playing Starfield and during a very good sequence I asked myself, "What's that feeling, why is this so good?" and realized the game was channeling VTM: Bloodlines. Y'all can scoff and call it AAA trash but some of the content here is really solid.

Then name the content.

I don't know exploring? Ship building? Raid? Smuggle? Answering distress calls, Betray and crossplay faction?

He wasn't talking to you, you moron, and neither was I when you inserted yourself into the conversation you stupid cow.

This is a forum dumbfuck the moment something gets written is for sharing it to others i am surprised (clearly not) i have to explain a stupid notion like this to you.

 

[Lemming42]

Finished the Crimson Fleet. I've finished all faction questlines and most big sidequests, so I'm not sure exactly what to do now. Hmm. Might be nearing the end of my first playthrough. Anyone know of any cool out-of-the-way things? I found the Red Mile, which was neat.

 

[Cryomancer]

s friends with Arch

Arch has a good video about SF. I'm listening while playing Morrowind



As for Vee, I listen to him cuz he is romanian, I like to have his perspective in many subjects.

 

[JamesDixon]

Mooo mooo moooo mooo mooooo

What's that Mebs? Oh you're right because we weren't talking to you which is why you inserting yourself into the conversation is bad form. Especially when the first comment you replied to was a joke and the second comment wasn't addressed to you at all. But you are a dumb fuck illiterate cow so you wouldn't understand that.

 

[Fedora Master]

Ah yes. Sweeping the moon.

all criticism by haters who haven't even unlocked their Powers yet should be disregarded

What's that Mebs? You have 6 STDs that are incurable and a parasite in your vagina. Wow shouldn't you be seeing a veterinarian for that? Is your milk safe to drink?

all you morons are so quick to call the game shit is kind of hilarious

that's true, but the procgenned dungeons in this game are quite maze-like, with multiple stories, so this thing is really useful in this game.

I mean, this is why Bethesda was so adamant against ladders. Not because they were struggling with the rigging animation but because it screws up the AI. I'm not sure I can think of a game that features AI climbing ladders in combat sequences. Most games are pretty careful to place enemy AI in controlled environments so they can avoid these edge cases.

So you're saying that Bugthesda are retards that can't do ladders while other studios can? It is an interesting defense, but I don't think it's a good one.
