Turtle Sandbox posted:DOS2 just respects you to go all in on ignoring one of the health bars the entire game. You really have to go all in on magic or physical damage. even the DOS2 min-maxers say act 1 is too hard without pre-emptively knowing exactly what to do before every battle, then the game goes into AOE faceroll mode after level 16

I'm gobsmacked that the first few hours are this bad, but it is finally starting to seem like a proper game. they listened to the fans and gave a slow burn start. They will never do that again lol.

Tankbuster posted:they listened to the fans and gave a slow burn start. They will never do that again lol. I'm not sure what people's complaints are there as both the main story quest and UC Vanguard quest line throw you into a variety of situations immediately in a wide range of environments against a wide range of enemy types with a solid mystery and adventure in the former and high stakes in the latter. My only frustration is that when in the UC quest you go down to the basement of the Capitol/Pentagon to meet with the war criminal mastermind of the last war, after already working with his clone, and the revelation that that government faked his death, which I think was foreshadowed pretty heavily from when his clone was revealed if not the UC museum, there's no dialogue option to reply to him asking if you know who he is with "yes". Both because of the foreshadowing but also because he's one of the most famous men in the galaxy, you already know his clone, you were reminded of him at the museum, it's beaten into your head over and over again that this is the executed hero/villain of the last war, and the closest you can get, if you have the Born in UC trait, is "did I see you in a movie somewhere?" At least reward the player for having basic common sense / a memory of the thing beaten into their head for the past two hours. Also, I don't know if Bethesda thinks their audience eats rocks, but obviously the character's name should be Brennus, not Vae Victus which makes no sense as a personal (nick)name. Someone at Bethesda apparently thinks Vae works as a name, when it's an interjection. "οὐαί, an exclamation of pain or dread". You wouldn't call your villain Ouch Thathurts.

RadiRoot posted:is starfield worth playing? should i wait? modding can't fix the main story, and you are heavy incentivised to complete it at least once for example I just had a major story revelation, combined with an actual twist in a party members narrative! AND IT SUCKS SO BAD to quote David Warner from bg2: YOU WILL SUFFER, YOU WILL ALL SUFFER!!!

Starfield sounding like a JRPG with the "it really opens up around 15 hours in" excuse can you fish in it?

I think a slower start, with more time as a space trucker/miner, or at least one full mission to get to know people, would have been nice.

does anyone else feel like they really clamped down hard on stealth builds, because its very tricky to actually get the drop on people now because of the tight spacing in ships/space stations. On planets, you can obviously get a good shot off with a long rifle, but the second you peek around a corner anywhere else, enemies will spot you and alert all 20 of their buddies.

I can't get stealth to work at all except with Chameleon items. Suppressors don't seem to work, crouching doesn't seem to work, cover, shadows, moving slowly. I've given up on it basically entirely.

in starfield junk is completely useless except as decoration for your base and the game reminds you of this constantly so ive managed to screen out most junk items mentally, except duct tape. in all of the fallouts, particularly new vegas, duct tape is one of the most precious resources so im trained to grab the little round circles wherever i find them

it’s kind of refreshing not being able to scrap anything. there’s never any doubt as to whether you should scrap or sell anything, everything must go

also don't think I'll ever take surveying quests again, they're quite tedious (especially if you land on a planet with flora/fauna).

Never watched firefly so the space cowboys remind me a ton of the Terrans in Starcraft 1. They even have zerglings running around and they have to hide in bunkers.
