Starfield Thread - Shattered Space expansion coming September 30th

[Yosharian]

That's nice and all, but once you've built your ship you still have to play Starfield

I browsed the nexus a bit and saw multiple mods that I could combine and tweak a bit to make the game come closer to my ideal. I'm still waiting for the big dick mods to come rolling in. The engine is great, it feels, plays and looks good. Just needs much, much deeper mechanics, like ind33d said Bethesda just created a kind of tech demo and its up to the modders to GO DEEP ON THAT BITCH. ahem.

modding scene so far looks very healthy, of course it's the star wars reskin mods that are most popular right now, but even they are coming along nicely

Spoiler

 

[ind33d]

Most important mod I've seen so far is someone working on a plugin that removes manual saving and only lets you save when sleeping in a bed. Exploring a level 70 planet on Iron Man and running back to your ship to save before you die of hypothermia sounds like exactly what the game was intended to be

 

[Vic]

^ that's how saving works in Fallout 4 survival mode too

I know, I liked Fallout 4 survival mode

Couldn't care less about ship building and survival honestly, it's cool that they're there but I really want TES-style dungeons and quests/settlements. Which I think are going to be the type of mod we see the least of.

You'd think being the first Bethesda game released in the generative AI era would give it a boost in that regard.

this may be more up your alley, by the creators of Daggerfall, using AI to have a "virtual game master" ingame

I've been following that project, just hope Ted Peterson can tear himself away from his risque drawings of Orcs in the Discord and start putting a playable build together.

The orc porn must flow from somewhere, after all.

actually that's what starfield needs, an AI director like Left 4 Dead to break up the monotony. the game never has high or low moments, it's a constant meandering. this is exacerbated by the soundtrack sucking cock

 

[Gargaune]

Ouch...



Looks like Beth's milking "post-launch content" strategy ain't making the best impression.

 

[ind33d]

Operation Starseed has to be the best quest in a video game. An unmarked mission plus a dungeon with multiple outcomes giving a companion is ludicrous. It's like Todd kissing you on the lips

 

[Lemming42]

Yeah I was astonished by it, realising that you actually get Earhart as a companion was wonderful. Bethesda have always been good at having weird unmarked but very cool quests like that ever since MW, Fo3 has some great ones.

In the context of the game as a whole though I think it's sadly more annoying than anything else, because it's the kind of thing that should have filled every part of the galaxy, and its presence mostly just highlights how empty the far reaches of the galaxy are aside from this one planet. I'll gather tons of Fabulously Optimistic ratings for this but I'm still holding out hope that Todd will get his shit together (once in a lifetime occurrence) and start making a DLC that just adds a ton of shit like that across the map.

I dunno, it gets people making more videos about the game at least.

also this guy is doing some weird stuff just to be hip and hate on the game, $70/220 quests lmao

I would never spend money on a mod, there are over 7000 free mods on the nexus, if people want to pay for mods that's their business and it's nice that that opportunity exists, it also incentivizes more modders to work on mods because they actually can make some money off of it

you're welcome to try

the graphics for some of these mods look amazing tho

I remember modding fallout 4 but this shit is next level, the quality of the textures

Seems that the plan going forward is just to make more contained expansions focusing on a few better fleshed out planets rather than broader upgrades across the whole map. Which can be neat I guess, but it doesn't help with long term playing if the world is boring outside of the few larger curated theme parks.

Looks like he's wearing an Xbox on his head.

 

[Vic]

this is a mod for the mantis armor which has.. a mantis design and per the lore only women have been mantises before, so yeah it's more effeminate but I was talking about the detail in the texture... can't wait for some good weapon mods

You have to ask other people to do your bullying for you?

Yeah, I don't have the heart to do it myself

It would feel like kicking a retarded child in the face

I don't see what you are contributing to the thread. I'd prefer to keep this about the game and not spazz out because this thread does not provide you the entertainment you're expecting.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Nigger it's a thread in a godforsaken shithole, not a conference at the World Economic Forum or w/e, contributions don't fucking matter, just like at the UN.

Well you replying to my comment is not helping me avoid it, that's for sure
