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

[Lifeguard Hermit]

The current DLCs appear to be esm files. Keep in mind this game was in development since Fallout 4's release, if not before, and the engine's been patched heavily, so they're considering it "Creation Engine 2." So it's likely that 76 and Starfield's engines went along very different development paths.

That is absolutely hilarious and that means i could probably tinker with fomm to get that to launch even if they patch it now

Bethesda's passage of time has always operated on arrested development, Fallout 4 (and by extension 3) has a 200 year time skip and in that time nothing has been rebuilt (all the while cyborgs that pass as literal humans get introduced as a major plot point) with people opting to live in craters and bombed-out houses instead.

i get that Fallout is a post-apocalyptic genre and that it wouldn't be fitting for it to be post-post-apocalyptic and that i'm supposed to just consoom slop and not ask questions but you're really making it hard for me Todd.

They're not even cleaning out the skeletons and corpse juice of the broken beds they sleep in. It's one thing to be unable to rebuild due to lack of materials and/or skills, I can buy that, but come the fuck on. Doesn't have to be spotless just throw out the old bones.

That's how it was in Fallout 1 (1997) and Fallout 2 (199. It's post apocalyptic. People don't have the resources or the ability to build new things. Even if they wanted to. That's all the NPC's did was hide out in the old broken remains of the old world. Sleeping in dirty beds. It wasn't uncommon to see some old dirty mattress just thrown into a corner. It's not a Bethesda thing. That's just how bleak and depressing the world of Fallout is.

Though Bethesda did other stupid shit with the Fallout franchise.

ShillmanLives also released his review.

Just a reminder that Bethesda flew this guy over to some event, then he shilled the hell out of Fallout 76 without disclosing any of this. He disabled comments and dislikes on that video. Guy's a total joke.

Any indication on whether or not the factions are mutually exclusive, or if they do the usual thing of you leading everyone, everywhere.

This is what I'm calling "The Starfield Stare"

every single black NPC glares at you like they've overheard you say "nigger" or some shit.

i think the better textures in Starfield sort of exacerbates the uncanny valley nature of their NPC's, at least with Skyrim the textures and models were still "shitty" enough for your brain to get tricked into filling in the blanks, in 2023 the graphics have become "too realistic" for that to happen and that's why AAA developers all use mocap and shit to bring characters to life because they'll end up with these Starfield animatronics if they don't.

saw the G-man lives video. shit finally made me unsub from that fucking kangaroo shill. he sucked the game off like his entire life depended on it (maybe it dose?) and just ended up spreading false facts and half truths near the end.

this is really just fallout 4 in space. watched 3 hours of synthetic mans stream just to confirms it.

 

[Dumcumpster]

So what I'm hearing is around the same level as outer worlds but Bethesda. I'm definitely gonna torrent it this weekend but I'd rather play AC 6 though first

 

[blablabla]

Space is full of black people wtf

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

Space is full of black people wtf

i dont think black people even like spaces or are just flat earthers.

i may pirate it now that i see the game was leaked (LOL, SEETH TOOD!).

 

[Estate]

On how many levels of "It just works!" are we on?

The weird new plastic art style Bethesda is in love with is really unappealing. Fallout 4 was gross too but the NPCs in this... I don't think we have to search for aliens they clearly live amongst us.

I can't play the shit on my toaster but from what I understand it's basically as bad as I expected. Ugly NPCs, all the planets are just color swapped deserts with bandit camps, ugly art style and aesthetic, bad combat.

Yeah looks like it has game of the year locked down.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Pretty impressive of Bethesda to return to Oblivion style uncanny valley and ugly fucker NPCs.

I just don't really feel hyped for this game at all. I don't really see the formula that Bethesda has used to make Oblivion and FO3 and Skyrim fun games working on such a setting. Just gonna wait and see.

 

[Niggerphobe]

I wonder how mike And zach will like the game

>When you tell them that salt is seasoning.

Can't wait for the Crowbcat video

Maybe this time he won't cry and change the title 5 times.

The setting feels too grounded for the kind of dumb fun Bethesda is prone to. If the game was more of an over the top sci Fi setting with fun guns or really crazy planets to explore it could work.

Disney's Buzz Light-year but with shotguns is not my idea of a fun setting. There aren't even space babes.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Someone already mentioned it, but I am of the opinion that a hard sci-fi RPG with exploration like this is a great and fun idea. But not something Bethesda could pull off and do correctly. At least not nowadays, maybe if they had the people that did Morrowind they could get close but even then the skills needed to do a good fantasy setting don't translate 1-to-1 to a hard sci-fi story telling.

If I was a space captain and ever saw that last, utterly feral looking ape mean mugging me from across the space plaza. I'd get in my spaceship, and use my space tug to yank some asteroids into decaying orbits. Because clearly, somewhere along the line humanity fucked up and brought the wrong monkeys into space with us.

One thing I've noticed keeps coming up again and again in reviews and interviews is how 'unique' the NG+ is. Maybe that's not the right word, but all I keep hearing about it is how seamlessly it fits in and "makes sense within the logic of the game's universe". All that makes me think of as to what that means is "This is gonna be timeloop bullshit, isn't it?"
At the end of the main quest you'll go to the magical space temple at the center of the universe, jump into the space goo, and warp back in time to the start of the game with all your equipment and skills. There'll probably be a lot of airy-fairy, pseudo-philosophical nonsense about how "we're all one with the universe, man."

I haven't paid extra for early access so I'm not gonna find out until at least Thursday, but I'm just posting this for posterity now because I wanna see how close my guess was.

I immediately thought black hole/worm hole that leads to a time loop since Todd specifically said in a Q and A that he was skipping all questions about black holes.

 

[Sniperwoof]

Probably going to skip this one. It looks extremely boring.
