what the fuck? does this mean someone could make a Firefly or Star Wars mod and Bethesda can just buy the licensing rights and make it official? or like Beth could pay Bungie to make Halo levels for Starfield?

So far it looks exactly like what I was predicting. Bethesda is going to keep adding content in the form of (paid) mods and seems like this is at least part of their "10 year plan" for Starfield. Though I'd even wager it's their main game plan.

I like it. Let's see how this game will turn out in a few years. If you'd ask me to make another prediction I'd say the media will change their tune and hail Starfield as a masterpiece that managed to redeem itself. That would be funny because the potential of this game was pretty obvious to me from day one.

This is the company that invented microtransactions. I wouldn't put it past them to reinvent them now.

I like it too simply because it's easy to get any interesting paid mods for free. They can kiss my ass with their overpriced nonsense.

Almost a given. "Actually, ______________ is good now!" is practically it's own subgenre of game coverage.
So this is the point of AAA games being worse each year, they just make the old ones look better and they make it easier for the journos... I see...

Are you a female that likes Starfield? What are the measurements for your clothing? Asking for science.
I'm trying to but it's a strange game where I can play for hours and do a bunch of quests but still feel like I did absolutely nothing.

I'm looking forward to mods growing and hope the creation kit wasn't too late for the good stuff to be made.

That's kind of true for the base game. It helps a bit if you enjoy seeing numbers go up. Grinding XP to kill higher level enemies for better loot, collecting all the space shouts, etc.

And no, I don't think it was too late. There are some pretty cool mods being worked on with several rebalance mods and mods that add more diversity to the procedural generation. The game already looks much better than what I played on launch and that's before the first DLC even dropped.

Killing Starborn is fun, the problem is that the power temples are all just one room and a boss fight instead of an entire dungeon like Todd envisioned. They were clearly supposed to be like Oblivion Gates

The Creation Kit seems to have frankly resulted in jack shit so far. It really is too little too late and unless Shittered Space saves the day then I don't think it's ever going to get the kind of modding community that Skyrim et al had.

I mean most of the top mods on the Nexus right now are still stupid shit like "replace all posters with AI-generated speedo hunks" and "some weapon from some shitty Star Wars thing that looks totally wrong when put next to every other asset in the game and also sucks balls" and "new haircut for Sarah that looks way fucking worse and also deletes your save due to a mistake by the modder" and "minor mechanical tweak which you literally won't notice in-game". Unlike TES and Fo3/FNV there's just no basis to start building mods on.

Custom POIs is the only exciting thing and it's so much work that I can't imagine that we're gonna see many. The NuDoom mod is kind of a testament to how hard it is to actually mod this game because it obviously sucks but at the same time, what the fuck are you meant to do other than shove random disparate shit from other franchises in?
