Oh boy... I have worked in a bunch of different fields since I was a teenager, most of them had unions and in all of them I wanted to strangle the union people with their own umbilical cords. Thank God I dont have to deal with this crap nowadays.

wait, didn't bethesda reject diversity consulting for Starfield? is the actual purpose of diversity consultation just to prevent unions being formed?

They should've let Kirkbride write some lore for Starfield.

Somebody made a recent video about him:

What an extremely petty current year video.
As a whole it moralistically tries to cast Michael Kirkbride and Morrowind in a suspicious, 'problematic' or 'controversial' light. While pretending to be a fan of the game just arguing in good faith, for some reason gender-ideology runs through this 35 minute video. As if the developers of Morrowind 20+years ago, were (or should be) concerned with gender-ideology and pronouns.
The video is also a thinly veiled accusation of Kirkbride of 'cultural appropriation' and racist stereotypes because 'Orcs look like Asian men'. More likely YouTuber is the raycist here for making that association.

That 20+ years later a video has to be filled with useless "tw" (trigger warnings) shows how sensitive this YouTuber has become, as opposed to anything actually 'problematic' in Morrowind's writing or by Kirkbride.

Realistic space games? Great did I miss someone invent FTL drives?

It's all the same fucking sci-fi unless you want to do Appolo missions to the moon for your space game.

I can honestly declare, that after finishing Starfield playthrough and seeing end credits plus trying some of glorified NG+ , i came to the statement that The Outer Worlds Spacer Choice edition is much better game.
So instead of waiting for DLC to Starfield im waiting for The Outer Worlds 2 from bleoved Obsidian much more.

Starfield is good game, but Obsidian kills Bethesda with the writing quality in no time.

No it isn't. You're just retarded.

Bethesda writing is basically a ChatGPT drivel, while with modern Obsidian you can tell its still written by humans, but its way more cringy. Honestly I cant tell which is worse. Syphilis or Ebola situation.

 

[FrostRaven]

The writing quality in RPGs is going down the drain. It's probably because of DEI and the fear of offending people that don't play RPGs at all.

Bethesda writing is just Wikipedia dumps of exposition from a character you just met that suddenly gives you top secret info or personal secrets that no normal human would divulge, with a final option to accept or "come back later if you change your mind, bro. I don't mind, I'm sure the lost girl will be fine 3 week from now!".... if at least was sarcastic.

I couldn't play TOW because the first companion they give you is a lesbian. I rolled my eyes so hard they cramped up. I played for a bit more but none of the writing made any sense. Had to uninstall after a lot less than 10 hours iirc

With Starfield there is enough actual game so you don't have to bother with the shitty writing. It's shit in both games. But one is a sandbox, the other a crappy shooter.

 

[Fedora Master]

No there isn't

i hated how mediocre outer worlds was but honestly im way more inclined to give outer worlds 2 a try than replay starfield again

highly doubt any patch or DLC will change my mind about starfield

Meh, TOW is pure Californian cringe with Reddit humor and retarded political innuendos. Starfield on the other hand is just mediocre entertainment for older dudebros who want to play something while relaxing on their couch. And as far as future releases go, Starfield's story-focused expansions like the upcoming Shattered Space will probably be like how Far Harbor was when compared to Fallout 4's base game. Meanwhile TOW2 will just double down on the cringe that permeates the first game, better gameplay or not.

The main guy behind Far Harbour left Bethesda after Starfield released.

Whereas they're all bisexuals in Bethesda games wherever applicable.

is it worth doing all the random activities and shit or should I just finish the main quest and uninstall? i've done every faction and upgrading my ship further seems pointless. level 65ish

It's been a while since I played but if you haven't done NG+, you don't have your Starborn ship yet? Every time you finish another NG+ your ship and Starborn suit get upgraded to a maximum of +10 iirc, which is the best armor in the game.

Multiple NG+ are also necessary to collect all the space shouts.

Level 65 is not really that high, but I assume you can already kill level 100 enemies easliy? They appear on the furthest solar systems. I've found the best way to level up is to kill level 100 aliens. Find a spot with a high density of them (usually a coastal tile) and go hunting.

To kill level 100 legendary enemies you'll need a good weapon. I don't remember what the affixes were exactly but there is a "best" weapon for each type. I think it were the Va'ruun weapons. Also armor. You could grind some high level dungeons to farm for better gear. Every dungeon has a boss and a chest, always at the same location.

If you're not playing on the hardest difficulty, I would suggest to do so because you will get more legendary drops.

Basically, if you enjoy grinding you still have much to do, but that's not everyone's cup of tea. Otherwise, if you've done all the quests, I don't think the random activities (I assume you mean the "radiant" bounty hunter quests and shit?) aren't really worth it. But they can add a little variety while hunting for loot/xp. Keep in mind that you will lose your ship and all of your items on NG+, only the Starborn suit and ship will persist and get upgraded. So getting invested on the first "run" isn't advisable if you want to go for a more complete playthrough.

i just got a sick roll from the trackers alliance from turning in 3 astras and the armor had the exact same model as the armor I was wearing. -_-

vladimir being black while still speaking with a Russian accent is legitimately so distracting, it completely ruins all the otherwise great starborn-centric main quests. if you compare the story reactivity to mass effect, starfield really does make ME look like a farce. shame most people won't get far enough to appreciate it

Are you playing on console or why are you not considering modding your game?

I did mod him to be white, patches broke the mod, which I assume was on purpose

If by "random activities" you mean miscellaneous quests, there's a (relatively) excellent quest called Entangled on Freya III, and some Codexers speak highly of another quest that starts on Charybdis III (which I missed).
