dr_rat posted:Reddit says it basically just an playstation fanboy account putting out the spoiler. Also haven't seen anyone confirm it's real. It's just spoiling a twist, which if true would be very, "oh, okay." type deal. I don't care to much about spoilers so others may be others would think it's a major thing though. The specific reason to believe it's real is that the same person leaked a lot of other stuff earlier, and it was just confirmed by official sources. So then they looked at what he posted that wasn't yet confirmed, and that spoiler was the big one.

Bethesda studio games may have their issues but they do always have their interesting and fun things to do! Oh and from the discord thing, was I the only one who when they heard about the Serpent religion trait thing and it said that if you take it you get some status bonus if you jump a lot, it meant your character just jumped up and down a lot, and it wasn't taking about your ship making jumps to other solar systems and what not? Cos yeah that sounds like it's way less annoying. Also and yeah I really like The Jaunt'esq nature of that religion starting. Nice premise with just enough goofy'ness about it. Could very much imagine someone starting a religion after a warp/jump what ever. "Hey I just went through folded space, of course I saw god! Oh and gods a snake just FYI.".

As somebody who loved smuggling contraband in Sunless Skies I'm intrigued about getting to do so in Starfield as well. The goods themselves probably won't be as creative, but I sure do love hidden compartments

I mean, you get the expansion with that + some extras so it's not nothing... Seems like a pretty good deal to me when games are $70 nowadays.

Popete posted:Lame they gated early access behind a $40 premium upgrade. How else would you suggest they gate it? If they didn't gate it it wouldn't be early access, it would just be the release date. PeePot posted:Wonder what space jail is going to be like. I always just save scum when stealing and getting caught. They gonna confiscate my Space Skooma and put boots on my landing gear? From the Q&A it sounds like the system itself is identical to Skyrim's. You get caught and you can either submit, go to jail and loser your contraband, pay a fine and lose your contraband, or try to fight your way out. Jail itself is something you can potentially escape from I think, as in the TES games.

Other games have done this same thing, sometimes it's just used as a pre-order incentive and it doesn't cost extra. I'm not gonna make a big stink out of it, I already pre-ordered the game I just don't want to spend an additional $40 to play it early. It's clearly an up-sell.

Weird seeing people fall over themselves to defend increasingly lovely business practices from billion dollar companies, especially on SA. At least this comes with the first DLC but if the game's ready charging people extra to play early is pretty poo poo

Are some people paying extra to get in early who wouldn’t otherwise care about the DLC? Sure, but this still seems pretty minor on the corporate malfeasance Richter scale.

I would imagine for a few places drugs as well. It would be nice if there were some other stuff, not holding my breath though. Illegal human organ smuggling at least does sound suitable Sci-fi dystopian and hope there's some related missions to reflect that. (although it's not like that's even just a sci-fi thing alas that actually happens today.  )

This is kind of interesting. The version of Starfield that reviewers are playing right now is v1.6.35.0. For comparison, Skyrim day one patch was v1.1.21 and Fallout 4's was v1.1.30. So when they say they have been polishing and iterating for an extra year, believe it.
