The Bethestard tag should be renamed to Adoring Fan
Even that was Bethesda's blatant copy of BG2's Noober.
Adoring Fan was funny for a while and I even tried to use him as companion and not just crew because he can carry a lot of stuff but overall it is better to take parents trait so you can get a free ship from it.
Also Adoring Fan talking animations are almost same (or are same) like many other other male characters. It becomes irritating fast.

The adoring fan is from Oblivion. Also I took both adoring fan and parents traits, so that's certainly possible.

Codex Year of the Donut Serpent in the Staglands Dead State Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 A Beautifully Desolate Campaign Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth

From the moment the game starts with the main theme, “Into the Starfield,” to the closing notes of "A Home in the Galaxy," Starfield’s score embodies the notion of exploration, mystery and the wonder of space.

there are only 2 tracks which I consider good, and one of them is the title screen music, rest is pretty meh

that's the other one, and it's very cinematic and spacey, plays on snow planets



A nod to this:

One of the tracks basically rips off Star Trek.

is this even gonna be worth picking up in...six years when it's like, five freedom fries?
That depends on whether and how quickly Bethesda releases the Construction Kit for Starfield, so that modders won't be as restricted as they are currently. :M

The question is whether decent modders will care about this. The last thing we need is a million crap mods like F4.

Wandering the world randomly in search of maps
Finally finished it, alt-f4, uninstall. 60-odd hours of boring shooting and looting. This game gives me the same feeling as Assassin's Creed Odyssey. On paper it should be the greatest game ever made. Fly into space, get into dogfights, board the enemy ship and take it over, sell it, land on planets, explore strange new places, find cool loot, build bases, upgrade everything, build custom ships, get into hundreds of quests, etc. etc.. And yet it's like the most bland and tedious experience ever. Starfield is the pudgy 6/10 you dated for 2 more years than you should have because she was low maintenance and you didn't feel like finding someone else. Starfield is the crappy job that pays the bills you know you should quit but at least it's secure. Starfield is the all singing, all dancing, crap of the gaming world.

Bethesda should have gone in the opposite direction and instead of the universe being a barren wasteland it's already brimming with life and every world is inhabited, so the player feels insignificant. I think they were planning on making Starfield like Fallout 76 with few to no NPCs and multiplayer but the plans fell through. The gameplay would make much more sense if you were in co-op and could trade mats with a friend, explore the same landing zone, etc. What would Starfield feel like if you were in a fireteam of three human players instead of alone? Probably much better

game’s concept is good but it’s underdeveloped

to make starfield truly good it needs:

- more advanced outpost building and more uses for the products. Trade, personal combat robots, power armor/mechs, advanced ship building etc.
- Space combat needs to be much better implemented so it’s actually fun to play
- A lot more unique armor and weapons with unique bonuses that greatly change up how you play your build, add more variety to the combat and make loot hunting more rewarding

etc. etc. etc.

Will we ever see a finished starfield after years of patches, DLCs and 15,000 mods installed? Who knows.

^ even with all of that some of the core stuff as inept and bland and as fuck wordbuilding will remain the same. All those space niggerfaggots aside how you can be immersed for example when you have New Atlantis which is actually pretty tiny and surrounded by sheer nothingness? No, no amount of mods can turn this pile of incohesive turds into actually appealing sandbox.

Would the engine support going underground without switching cells? Maybe modders could leave the planetary surfaces the same but add caves, ruins, etc. sort of like Minecraft.

It's just so... boring. Maybe the NASA "punk" really does it for some people but for me there were no hooks in the first couple hours that made me want to put up with all the loading transitions and clunky UI navigation and Fallout 4 gunplay (again). I'm sure there's some real world scientific explanation why New Atlantis looks like chlorine covered shit but it just lacks any sort of wow factor and the creepy characterless bug eyed npcs didn't help either. I threw in the towel when one of the NPCs wanted me to fetch their coffee.

^ I think that's a perfect encapsulation of Starfiled actually, maybe even every Beth game for that matter. And a motivation video to do something productive. Just imagine how bored one must be in order to do shit like that.

The game would be better if they removed most of the content from the game. What the hell does anyone care about 1000 shitty and almost identical planets?
Make 10 planets and they will be enough.
