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. idk, mods have already shown that there's plenty of room for improvement even within those confines. just adding icons and having better categorization and sorting goes a long way.

Sounds like PC performance is pretty rough. Was hoping this 3080 wouldn't need to get put out to pasture so soon.

I get Imp's gripe about the POIs being plopped right on your map when you go somewhere, since there is that bit of exploratory joy when you're just going from point A to point B and see a cave and decide to just jump in and see what happens. But look at it from a designer's point of view, they're dealing with procedural-genned barren worlds where you land and then there's like sixteen square miles or ever how much land generated around the landing site, and a lot of people have the IQ of a turnip, so if they don't see something ASAP they're going to flock to whatever forum and immediately post 'ALL THE PLANETS ARE EMPTY WTF' instead of slogging around ten miles worth of sand and rocks to find the half-buried shipwreck that the RNG stuck there. What I'd have done is tied it into the scanny doohickey, so if you're raised the skill you can use it to ping out around you and find stuff, like the compass POI indicators in Oblivion and Skyrim. That way you do still need to get out and look around some instead of beelining right to the thing from your ship's ladder, but you do have some assistance in finding stuff.

All quests are reset. There are a couple of quests where you have to make choices so you can take the alternate path on a NG+. Occasionally there is special dialogue which lets you skip parts of a quest.

So I do actually have a question for anygoons who've already played: Stealth. Is there any point, or do you open a door to a place and wind up in a warehouse with six dudes staring at you with guns already drawn? If the maps tend to have few or no ways to move around out of view of the NPCs, then there's not a lot of point in planning on a sneaky playstyle.

If the maps tend to have few or no ways to move around out of view of the NPCs, then there's not a lot of point in planning on a sneaky playstyle. No plot spoilers or anything: Stealth is still very powerful though requires a heavier investment. Interiors are a lot more cramped and it isn't great on spaceships but to counter that the game gives you multiple ways to get cloaking and chameleon abilities so you can effective go invisible anywhere. There's one particular Power you get that makes stealth hilariously OP. Earwicker posted:i thought "streamers" were people who played video games and talked about it while playing i dont understand why we are seeing their rooms in the first place i thought the whole point was to watch them play the game?? There is a lot of data to suggest that people will be far more likely to watch a streamer if they are showing their face or an avatar that mimics their face.

Some early GPU benchmarks. These are Ultra settings, but you're probably gonna wanna use FSR anyway. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/starfield-pc-performance-best-settings-fsr-2/ For reference, a 3060Ti is about as strong as a 2080 Super.

I kinda hate the idea of the NG+ stuff from what you described. I mean, it's basically an exchange of "if you want to be able to upgrade these cool space powers, you have to pay with all the hard work you've done so far". There should have been more stuff to bring forward than just your skills. Kind of a dick move in a game you expect to invest a lot of time in.
