The barren planet thing can be improved a bit by their POI spawn system (assuming there is one). Just randomly/stochastically spawn more random poo poo. Even if it's just visual things, like extraordinary natural formations, alien artifacts and other random things that don't necessarily require fighting. Maybe involving a scanner that works only on the ground, so they're invisible in space. This however will need way more prefab assets to prevent repetition.

Skimming through the reviews I think I'll have fun with the game, and then again in a year or two when all the cool mods are released

So it sounds like "Bethesda game, with fewer bugs" is the general consensus. I don't need the game to be perfect, I just need it to let me shoot things in space and then fill my pockets with space junk. I am fine with that. Hell, I enjoyed FO4 despite its terrible writing. Plus, I'm just going to mod the poo poo out of this anyway, so...

Reviewers complaining about inventory management, meanwhile 30 out of the 100 hours in my BG3 playthrough were spent mashing the send to camp button. Probably can't be worse than that

If you don't plan to do outpost/crafting stuff though it's going to be way less of an issue.

So I'm watching DrLupo play Starfield on YouTube. Games looks really pretty, and apparently isn't a buggy mess like the usual Bethesda games at release so that's impressive! It looks fun, reviews basically make it sound like the Bethesda take on No Man's Sky(kinda what everyone expected). Looks fun. I'm super into Baldurs Gate 3 at the moment and will pickup Starfield when I'm done with that. I wish BG3 had Starfields character creator. It's awesome how much you can customize yourself. Its seriously wild. This game is gonna be amazing once mods get going.

I know plenty of people who prefer fast travel in Bethesda stuff and they'll probably be happier. my last few playthroughs of Beth games were all without conventional fast travel (self- or mod-imposed). I hate that rhythm of jumping from city to dungeon and back. it robs the games of their strengths.

Fried Watermelon posted:Is the ng+ stuff worth it to beeline the main quest? I'm not entirely sure. There's a couple of neat things. My general feeling is that if you end up thinking you're going to want the NG+ stuff you should beeline it and if you don't think you'll care then it isn't worth doing. What I found in my playthrough: (Again, minimal spoilers but you can make inferences) 'Alternate' main quest which mostly lets you skip to the end. Special dialogue options A special ship A special set of armor Upgraded powers.

K8.0 posted:Outer Wilds I loved Outer Wilds but it's space-stuff is "unrealistic" to an absurd degree and has no combat, and "see that, go there" was much more limited than a planet-based RPG like Skyrim or Zelda because there wasn't really that much to "go there". I don't know how "see that, go there" works on an interstellar basis and if "realism" is the goal then even a solar basis is going to be little more than looking at a map, clicking a button, and waiting - space is loving huge and empty. With a little bit of tweaking you could remake Outer Wilds as a game set on Hawaii (and where the big island is 1/100th the size) and have almost the exact same experience.

For me the solution has always been a simple quality over quantity. Walking through a dungeon and picking up 30 rusty iron daggers gets old eventually. While picking up a single item that has a unique effect and some story attached to it, will always be neat.

Raygereio posted:I think a sorted list is close to ~optimal~ as we can get for an inventory. At least, any game that I've played that tries anything else for the inventory was more annoying or cumbersome to deal with. Sorting would be cool if it actually worked in BG3. Their tags must be so loose and ill defined, potions and dyes just explode across your inventory no matter what setting you hit. I think they introduced a sort by rarity option in today's patch, maybe that will be more sanely designed
