Not to mention the question of what the hell happens to your family and friends in the world you just left? Your poor parents will never see their son again? And are you just another version of yourself when you change universes? Does that mean you're sharing a bank account with that universe's actual version of yourself?
I think this is what irks me the most. I don't think you even get to tell your parents you're leaving them. Plus the fact that the game tries to make you feel stupid for rejecting the ending and staying in your universe.
Considering you don't get to tell them if you get married or invite them to the fucking wedding, I'm not surprised
That was so damn stupid. The fact you can tell them there's someone you like early on and not have any follow up is a massive oversight. The whole implementation of your parents is pretty half baked. It's like three conversations and a few encounters.
100%. There are very clear pre-determined (and often singular) outcomes that your character has to adhere to, completely ruining the RP aspect as most quests have very linear story progressions that the multiple dialogue choices do little to hide. Too often I'll be helping some incompetent space huck or some UC affiliated scum and the game will only give me compassionate, lawful good dialogue options and actions for them. I'm trying to be an amoral mercenary pirate, I don't want to sympathise with these assholes I just want to earn creds and maybe rob them, but compassionate hero dialogue is the only choice I'm given.
The only reason I hunted the artifacts was to meet aliens, not some “deep alternate dimension” shit they probably shoehorned in last minute for NG+ and so they could say “Look guys, it’s NOT aliens!! Pretty big twist eh? Did we get ya yet??”. I was really hoping for those aliens, at first I thought the vanguard and UC would sort of parody Starship Troopers, but no, just another shitty job where your character does all the work. My favorite quest in the game is easily the StarSeed one with the clones, THAT felt like a classic sci-fi adventure and it’s only one quest, whereas the main story can be boiled down to simple fetch quests, and then it abruptly ends with your character either dying of old age or being reborn and becoming essentially a god. Also I noticed that the ending bore some striking similarities with Cyberpunk’s, especially with the whole “go live your life and die or join unity forever and have all the knowledge of the universe” choice. Overall I liked a few characters but they all felt under utilized, like The Hunter being the priest instead of just the main character, I don’t know about you guys but when they tried the whole reveal of who The Hunter was I couldn’t care less as I didn’t give a single fuck about some priest on a planet I barely visit outside of the main quest.
I went to them before I left, and the dad kept talking about having "to take the leap" or something. I wasn't sure if he was referring to getting married or going through the Unity or what.
This is pretty much Starfield in a nutshell or bethesda the last 20 years
Typical Bethesda. An interesting idea half implemented because they got lazy or didn't think it through all the way.
'bad/boring on purpose' has become his favorite cope as of late.
Well when you're deathly afraid of offending someone for anything and everything you simply can't write anything except bland guy A or bland guy B.
I started a new playthrough a couple days ago. It's actually insane how much better a game from 2012 is.
we made a trash ass game. as a joke
If I could hit TIE Fighters with an old joystick when I was eight, modern players can certainly hit a flying space-bus with a kb+m or Xbox controller. We need to stop catering to shit players.
Yeah, went through the all-day trouble of getting my mods set up right and the difference is stark. Even the vanilla stuff is miles ahead of Starfield. Bethesda really has lost it.
We finally come to the real reason why todd made starfield
