Anybody have tips for outpost building? I basically never engaged with settlements in Fallout 4 but I kind of dig the idea of building a big old galaxy spanning network of crew members

The last time I felt much fulfilled sense of exploration was Daggerfall, and the last time I felt a sense of wonder was wondering whether I could fus roh dah someone off a cliff. But maybe I'm just kind of jaded against standard medieval fantasy setting fare by now. You should try out Morrowind, it's by the same developer and uses 3D technology.

You know in retrospect I think part of why the space travel stuff ends up feeling disappointing is that I just want to play Star Control 2 forever.

I’m generally loving this game and came in with no real assumptions but “pick a faction background on my NG+ once I know what the factions are” was like, the only one I made in character creation so consider this my mandatory “lol game sux” post.

Wow this character creation is a huge disappointment. Making a freak of nature is like one of the core points of fun in a Bethesda game.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/starfield-fg-02-88644211 Someone talked about this DLSS mod, but the guy charges for it? And it kinda seems like a hassle, joining a discord and linking your account and asking for a dl link etc.. Is there like a good free easy to download DLSS mod?

Dexo posted:Most people like the game. The thing is, even if they did only look at the review number, they (should) arrive at the same conclusion. That’s a pretty accurate description of what a 7 is. Scoring a 7 and being a generally enjoyable game that hoovers up a couple of hundred hours of your time aren’t mutually exclusive.

For an apt comparison, as an American, I think fast food is pretty average. But it won't stop me from hoovering down dozens, if not hundreds of mid tier cheeseburgers over a year

Coming off the incredible high that was Baldurs Gate 3, it took a few hours before Starfield clicked with me. I'm a total and complete idiot that loves every mainline Bethgame and I'm pretty sure I've played them all to 100% except the travesty that is Fo76- and Skyrim multiple times, but even so, I needed several hours before I really started enjoying myself, and now I'm having a total blast. But, if someone like me, genetically (in)disposed to like the slop Todd spits in and pours into my trough, needed convincing before I started having fun, there's something seriously lacking about the opening of the game. I can't say for sure what it is- maybe they give you too much freedom, too early and without enough direction. Maybe it was the realization that travelling through space was basically classic fast travel with extra steps- or maybe it shouldn't have pushed me into The Big City before feeding me a meaningful amount of actual gameplay. idk.

Either they wanted something different from climate change or nuclear war, or they were trying to avoid political stuff lol George Sex - REAL posted:Hmm. What would you say are the best traits? I don't think traits have very much effect one way or another. Just pick what seems fun. Anyways yeah, the game sucks rear end at first. About ten hours in you get in the swing of things, pulling on strings and going all over the galaxy, and it gets pretty drat good. I was definitely hating pretty hard early on but the more you I got used to things and saw more of the positives, the more I started to enjoy myself. Like someone else mentioned, the other faction quests outside of constellation seen generally stronger and more interesting.

Annath posted:Trying to avoid spoilers because I'm not very far into the game, but: I have no seen one. But you can delete all modules, then start adding them. You need: - a cockpit - a entry bay - the cockpit and entry bay need to be on the same level. but I am not sure if the game can cheat about this and if us players can cheat too. - gear landing modules so the ship can land - 3 different types of weapons. you can't fill a ship with only one type of weapon, for some reason? - shield (I believe maybe is optional) - grav engine - normal engine - the generator is optional? I don't think my ship have one you can't use modules of level bigger than you know, and the warning don't warn you about that until the complete step you can't have unconnected modules you can't pass the limits of complexity given by your generator? is a fuckton of arbitrary rules with exceptions, and sometimes is actually easier to undo changes in the ship to start again because a arbitrary rule stop you is not easy to create ships Tei fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Sep 2, 2023 |

It just moves so drat quick IMHO. You have to have *some* suspension of belief in Bethsoft games being the Chosen one or whatever, Dragornborn, Nerevar, etc. But in the first hour it's literally like "Welcome to one of the most prestigious private explorer organizations in the galaxy! You touched a rock!" Like yeah I know it's more deep than that and the story supposedly gets rolling towards the end, but that doesn't mean the front half has to be so weird

Either they wanted something different from climate change or nuclear war, or they were trying to avoid political stuff lol I assume they wanted something that left the Earth totally dead, so they didn't have to have any issues with "why can't I go to my hometown??". But it's a bit extreme, I would have expected some settlements there since less hospitable planets have colonies. Also the magnetosphere quitting would leave Earth quite barren, sure, but not turn every single building to dust

Does contraband sell for more on secure planets or something? There's a space station literally right inside UC space that does not scan my cargo and the Trade Authority has been more than happy to buy heretical writings, human organs, you name it.Macichne Leainig posted:It just moves so drat quick IMHO.

No more dragging items out of view then stealing them. Which is especially annoying in that quest where I need to either pay 15k or steal a wine, in a room with a guy who never turns away from the item I'm supposed to steal.

Al! posted:congrats, it sounds like you found a stable trade route Wait, do they scan your cargo if you hop between planets that would scan your cargo? There's this whole skill tree about obfuscating contraband and there are containers for and I just... go to this star over and over regardless of where I am. It's literally right next to New Atlantis. There are UC police or whatever ON the station.

Theres a video on Reddit of a dude pushing a object outside a room, using other other to push. Then picking the item.
