But this option is still available to you. You don't HAVE to join every contradictory guild and become the leader. If you want to roleplay as a goody two shoes paladin don't join the thieves guild. Some player want to do everything in every run through and become God at everything. If you don't want to, then don't.

mods that disable things are also relatively easy so if you don't want to become space archmage and space fighters guild boss etc then I'm sure there'll be a mod for that. Personally I like having the option if I want to take it

If this game ends up like outer worlds I don’t know if I’ll be able to take it anymore, that was so awful and I was exactly as stoked for it as I am for this but I preordered it anyway

So we can fly the ship once we are on the planet and the terrain will generate around it, or you have to call your ship to you, it lands, and then it generates the new areas around you? It will be weird if you can't just fly around the planet. I think NMS does a good job of this where it prevents you from landing on terrain that your ship cannot land on properly.

It's Bethesda, so narrative/character writing that's as tepid or moreso than the Obsidian B Team on Outer Worlds seems likely. Blandly inoffensive seems like the best case scenario.

Some of the other early-early non-NDA access players have purportedly crowdsourced the release version of the character backgrounds/archetypes, and the writing in said descriptions is rather amateurish high fantasy as opposed to what you might expect from a campy sci-fi romp. Like, most of these class guidelines would make good voice lines for Jeff Baker (Dagoth Ur) to stage monologue at a local theater club... and I'm not even gonna go into the bizarre choice of skills shoehorned to accompany these descriptions. Here's some of the more loopy ones: Diplomat The wars are over. Peace now reigns in the Settled Systems. But only because there are those quietly fighting to keep it. Because of you, agreements were signed, words were heeded... lives were spared. Skills: Persuasion, Commerce, Wellness Serpent's Embrace You grew up worshiping the Great Serpent. Grav jumping provides a temporary boost to health and oxygen, but health and oxygen are lowered if you don't continue jumping regularly - like an addiction. (Incompatible with Raised Enlightened and Raised Universal) Long Hauler Let those other hothead pilots obsess over laser weapons and maneuverability. You're a space trucker, pure and simple. Pack the cargo, get it there fast, get paid, repeat. Life is simple and good. Skills: Weight Lifting, Piloting, Ballistic Weapon Systems Pilgrim Wayfarer, wanderer, seeker...transient. You've been called many things during your travels, and learned something those others could never understand - the journey IS the destination. Skills: Scavenging, Surveying, Gastronomy https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/15vvhpc/comment/jxrgsjs/

Reminds me of the classic Brian David Gilbert "I read every skyrim book" video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVdTZhmsGsU It's not like they don't have any good writers employed, but yeah charitably i'd say it's at least straight forward and gets the job done so like it's not the worst. It is sort of writing, that in a uni into to creative writing class the professor would definitely say, maybe you should have another go at this. On the positives I do like they have the File not found (simple cheap joke, but i laughed.) option for your background. Oh and not sure if it had been 100% confirmed yet but Xenobiologist mentions alien life has been found but no sentient life, which seemed pretty obvious from everything that they've said so far. Earwicker posted:in daggerfall if you ran all the way out into the procgen wastelands every once in a very long while you would encounter a coven of witches doing some weird poo poo, and i hope that makes a return in this game This would 100% be the best out of bounds option.

Why are people hyper focused on the planets.... It's just padded out exploration. The majority of the game, and what will make or break the game will be in settlements. Just seems really odd that this is all people are talking about the past month when it's probably something I'll try a handful of times and then get bored with.

it's important to remember that full development of this game only started in august of 2020, because of the pandemic. a majority of the areas will not have anything in it except for some prefabs, including the two big cities in the game which are both on the same planet.

Because people think this is some sort of No Man's Sky + Elite Dangerous + Starcitizen + somehow doing everything those games did but better and avoiding all of the pitfalls.

I think it was leaked somewhere that it was plot necessary for the character of the ship to be essential. You have to stick with it. You can't sideline it, abandon it, or even friendzone it. Kissing your ship is mandatory, in other words.
