Starfield - Bethesda's new space IP: will probably be full of fun and easily trackable bugs

[TVB]

Todd, please stop. We'll never support your mediocre game.

You're too late to even post that

Shhh, let him have his shitpost. I can't expect everyone to read the whole thread and actually see my thoughts on the game, especially if I'm speaking ill of New Vegas HBTN.

Edit: Since I'm only going to be on another 10 minutes might as well get this nugger that just popped into my head out.

I'm very annoyed they don't have single seat cockpits so I can just make a starfighter or something. Or at least, I assume they don't. Every cockpit I've looked at so far has had a minimum of 3 seats.

This mostly annoys me, because they have Mess Hall habitats that can acommedate 20+ people when the max crew you can have is 8. I don't even think you can carry that many passangers for mission board jobs.

This also goes into the fact that there is a brig habitat as well as stun weapons but there's no missions that require you to take bounties in alive.

Doing the Mantis quest gets you a single-seat starfighter, iirc. There's a couple of jump seats for passengers in there, but I think the small Deimos cockpits are meant to be single-seaters.

Up until that moment, I couldn't honestly if he was shitposting, baiting or being serious.

Now that I think about it, you might be right and I might be misremembering because those cockpits look bulky to me.

I don't know if I will want to pick this up, but I do know that I can't be bothered to deal with the ship business at all. How viable is a run where you just use the default spaceship and only upgrade it for capacity/storage/research facilities? Can you ignore combat or defensive ship upgrades?

It's on game pass so I'm downloading it now. How easy is it to be a cool space pirate?

Not very. You always get scanned for contraband the second you jump into civilized space, and your own companions will put bounties on you.

As long as it's an option. If it's hard to do that might be kind of fun. Here's hoping at least.

The experience of carrying around morality police is thrilling.

If you actually stick to RPing as a pirate and don't take obviously good aligned companions with you, it might be fine. I haven't actually done it yet, but I'd assume the hardest part would be getting a decent ship for it at the start. (although maybe you're gifted a more suitable pirate ship if you do the questline, I dunno)

Let me know if the "turn down your engines to stealth past enemies" bit plays a part in it, because after 100+ hours of playing I've never used it outside the tutorial.

Will do, I've been playing the shit out of Battletech and it's just the best option to be friends with the pirate faction, so now I've got space pirate on the brain.

As long as you're using gamepass I say give it a whirl

I'm complaining a lot about dumb shit in the game, and yet I'm still enjoying myself and playing so that says whatever. I'll probably end up doing a pirate playthrough next I just haven't gotten around to it cause I've been slowing down with the game.

It seems like this game kind of landed with a wet fart and people have stopped talking about it.

Sticking with the initial ship is going to cause you trouble later on in the main story, and especially with the UC questline, but going with a stock ship in the upper tiers with a couple bolted on compartments for research and crafting is more than plenty. There's no need to get into shipbuilding.

Also, the House Varuun trait barely does anything, there are NPCs from the faction that don't know who you are and your player character still has to ask who they are when people mention them. I think they are either saving that one for DLC or this trait is literally incomplete/unimplemented

While it does seem like cut content, its also implied that the Varuun trait isn't the PC being from the House Varuun but rather someone who converted and believes in the Great Serpent. So Andreja is more like "Haha that's cute" and doesn't really consider you an actual Varuunite.

There's another child model in Akila city, the friend of the Ranger daughter that sends you to apprehend a thief is a white girl iirc. Perhaps one in New Homestead too?

People are absolutely still talking about Starfield but the launch week buzz has fallen aside, so now the shilling on both sides has stopped and its just people discussing shit it's not front and center anymore

lol they couldn't get away with making a black kid a thief so it's gotta be the one white kid

 

[anustart76]

I've heard that the ending slide is positive if you go with the Aceles, so I guess it's not completely shitty but still.

It's positive either way, I think.

I'm very annoyed they don't have single seat cockpits so I can just make a starfighter or something. Or at least, I assume they don't. Every cockpit I've looked at so far has had a minimum of 3 seats.

There's a console command mod you can use on PC to unlock all the ship parts at a vendor if you want. Also mods to remove a bunch of pointless building restrictions. Using those I made an overpowered monstrosity that destroys everything in a couple shots.

your own companions will put bounties on you

I had to download a mod to get them to stop acting like little bitches every time I decided to massacre the UC security forces when they tried to collect the bounty that one collector guy put on me.

So if there is a white child in the same city where Sam Coe is, that means that his daughter being race mixed is 100% intentional and not laziness. Thankfully, mods will fix it.

Mods will fix that too, I imagine. This ESG race baiting nonsense works both ways

So like pretty much every game in this modern ADHD society today?

The same shit will happen with Cyberpunk 2.0 (I'd argue it's already starting to fade tbqh) and Spider-Man 2 I bet.

It's so weird because Lillians skin tone is whiter than Sams ffs.
