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

[xXx: State of the Union]

Like the characters in Starfield are bland, but at no point was I prompted to hook up an autistic asexual lesbian with another autistic asexual lesbian as a quest.

Based on what I've read about Shattered Space, I'd say give it a year.

We already got clearing Barrets big dead husbands name. With all the they/them lesbians in Shattered Space it's only a matter of time.

If they make another DLC it'll focus around raising credits for a AGP to get his dick chopped off at Enhance and become the woman he's masturbated too. Starfield is so sexless. The only mention is if you're married and you sleep in a bed. While in Cyberpunk you have Braindances and Dolls. I wasn't expecting to hear Vex's voice actress in Cyberpunk.

As for a future DLC, given the Reddit tone of the game I wouldn't be surprised if it's focus on food, something about the company Chunks since it's everywhere in the galaxy.

Barrett was already abnoxious with his Black Science Man attitude and yet Emil had to buck break him too, lol.

Did anyone who actually played the game ever notice they forgot to give Barret a room in the Lodge so all he does is hang around the bar 24/7?

For all of the complaints about Starfield's writing, I have to give them credit for not going full Marvel.

Imagine this, you touch the starborn artifact in the mine tutorial and the chick goes "Erm.... THAT just happened!"

I would kill myself on the spot and blame Emil in my suicide note.

There's plenty of moments like that, though.

"Yes, I don't know why, but yes" and "I'm an elevator king now" come to mind immediately.

I must not have encountered it or blocked it out of my memory because I only played about five hours of that slop.

Yeah, it's there.

It's not all over the place, but when it pops up it becomes really noticeable and annoying.

This feels like something that mods could easily fix, but I don't think I've seen much outside of maybe turning the strippers into actual strippers or at least having them in underwear.

The most damning evidence that this game is stillborn and doomed to fade into obscurity sooner rather than later is the utterly lukewarm reception it's received from what little modding "community" still exists for it.

I still have the Lin and Liiiiiin dialogue choices seared into my mind from the sheer existential horror.

I knew there was no hope for it after the disaster that Skyrim turned out to be(worse yet, how much normalfags ate it up for whatever reason).

Oblivion*

There was 0.0% chance that Shattered Space could beсome the next Far Harbor. The guy that led the Far Harbor team had left Bethesda before Starfield's release. Name's Will Shen.
During Starfield development he was told to make engine tutorial videos for new hires and tard wrangle them in general. Most were working remotely (and I Imagine there were a lot of Pajeets with rudimentary English skills), the company have expanded too fast and turned into a bureaucratic hellhole. Naturally, he quickly burned out and fucked off into the sunset.

Wonder where all these industry vets will go.

2077 was about the opposite tone-wise. The clubs were hard, people were calling you a cunt left and right, street whores were a common sight, and the gore was only short of Last of Us.

That Neon was the edgy place in the galaxy because of its octopus dancers and drug that didn't actually do anything was fucking laughable.

Oh God, I'd forgotten about the dancer outfits. I found one as random loot very early in the game before I'd visited the planet, so the instant thought was that it was going to be something a bit revealing and risqué. Instead it made you look like a tellytubby.

Starfield is a perfect example of a game tailored to a DEI crowd the more I think about it.

There can't be *anything* offensive, so it comes out feeling like the most kid friendly M rated game ever.

Why would dancers in a club wear alien costumes in a world without aliens? It'd make more sense for them to wear some kind of retro short skirt go go dancer outfit from the 60's or something, but then that would be too revealing or sexist or something so we got what we got instead.

Can't have drug use or crime in Neon, because that might "trigger" someone.

I used to joke about the people who complained Bethesda games felt like theme park rides, but god damn that's really what this is now.

Credit you can immediately take away because every response you have feels like a reddit comment with 20 likes.

"I'm gonna groan on behalf of scientists everywhere..." Made me physically recoil when I read it. I don't think we can consider Starfield's writing any good.

Starfield is a perfect example of a game tailored to a DEI crowd the more I think about it.

It is honestly probably the wokest game I have played that is still trying to court somewhat normal people. EVERYONE you encounter in space is some flavor of mystery meat brown, it is clear that there was some kind of off-screen unmentioned genocide of all white people, as that is the quiet part they don't want to say out loud.

Every person is some flavor of queer. None of your companions can be 'evil' because they can't write someone who has bad ideas. The list goes on.

Will Shen was the lead quest design on starfield and wrote the main story, which people still fucking hated.

Even MrMattyPlays says its shit

Shattered Space was a bigger fuck up than Starfield itself lmfao

"Lead quest designer" is a nebulous term in Bethesda (it is explained in the video). During Starfield development Shen was forced into de-facto producer's role and did less "designing" than in Far Harbor. Back then he had smaller team and less big company BS to deal with.
