I can just imagine how bad Bethesda's patented LitterBug technology (stuff you drop stays there) would work on spherical planets. You'd load into a room, all of the objects would be spawned in their saved positions, but the script to change the gravity to the correct direction hasn't run yet so they start flying off. You should be able to fill your spaceship with junk so every time you brake everything you've dropped on the floor ends up in your windscreen.

Seeing the british man's meltdown over Starfield combined with claims that the writing is noticeably better than Fallout 4 is kinda making me wanna try it. I haven't found a space RPG I've liked since Mass Effect 2.

Caesar Saladin posted:Are there any actual interesting things about Starfield's setting? It just seems like some basic space stuff with some ancient aliens or whatever. Compared to something as goofy as Mass Effect it seems uninspired. It's interesting how little it explores or engages with its own setting maybe? You can freely travel between stars with free ships and don't have to worry about fuel or energy or anything really but the setting doesn't seem to do much with this power besides space trucking and WW2 dogfights. Most tech they have we basically have, we are maybe less likely to use an iPad to write one diary entry to leave laying around. In some ways it seems like they were actively afraid of it being called Fallout 4 in space and steered clear of a lot of the setting stuff that helps their bad writing go down, the humor, the weirdness, the grime. Most enemies look the exact same as you and your party because you're all wearing NASA style spacesuits for most things. There are madlib type NMS aliens, but fighting them is just like killing fish in a barrel. Doesn't seem like anyone ever tried ranching or anything, have yet to encounter someone who just has a pet alien even. Guess haven't seen any animals in cities, maybe I'll look closer, but no cats/dogs/birds/rats that I recall. Their big Cyberpunk city was also a bust, it's one street of a darkish area with some bright signs along the shop walls. It's got less detail and care put into it than any random street in a Yakuza game. Game in general also feels oddly cheap in a lot of places. There's one segment where you're supposed to come together with the crew to repair the space station and catch up after the incredibly mild adventures you just had not together. The "repairing" they couldn't even bother to give you a repair animation or anything for, it's a text popup that says (you and Sarah work to repair the whatever with the wrenches and bla bla bla) and has you repeat that with several other tasks, most of which definitely have animations for. On its own it's a small whatever thing, but when they have paper thin characters who aren't very interesting and spend most of the game nagging or repeating annoying quips, and this moment is like the facsimile of a "squad come together moment" but falls flat on its face because the dead eyed NPCs are so hollow and artificial.

I'm guessing Bethesda doesn't actually have the ability to efficiently patch their clusterfuck of an engine, so the "update" is just another full client download.

Trip report: Starfield is fun. The shooting is fun. It’s not a terrible game and it’s not the best game ever, it’s just fun. From a technical standpoint this game looks and feels like it’s running on top of idtech instead of a third party engine

Most tech they have we basically have, we are maybe less likely to use an iPad to write one diary entry to leave laying around. I haven't followed the main quest, but in the course of bouncing around finding points of interest, I came across a ranch where a guy had a couple of alien herbivores penned in his yard. Ground combat is pretty much just Fallout 4 but with jump packs. It's not innovative, but it works fine. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I got into a zero-g shootout and enemy AI was able to effectively maneuver around the environment in their space suits to engage me. While the game mostly seems pretty straightforward and serious, I came across some major Fallout-esque weirdness in the form of - sidequest spoilers ahead - a colony of clones made from the DNA of famous humans from throughout history, trapped in an endless cycle of death and being cloned anew, and overseen by a sinister clone factory that keeps them restricted to their colony on pain of death until they prove themselves ready to take to the stars. There's an uneasy truce between three factions, led by clones of Queen Amanirenas, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Genghis Khan. Right up until the player shows up with a ship. After getting involved in their weird poo poo, I walked away with clone Amelia Earhart as my new ship pilot/adventuring companion.

It makes sense that its kinda boring. Elder Scrolls was thought up by some guy like 30 years ago who doesn't work there anymore and Fallout was bought from a better developer. I guess that modern bethesda just doesn't have the talent really think up a decent setting by themselves.

Todd Howard needs to do some DMT or something and get some freaky ideas since next game will probably be his last so hopefully he tries to go out strong but I'd eager he wants to go all in on the procgen and try to make next elder scrolls fully free of pesky hard coded interactions to with too many tricksy variables and flags just to tell an interesting story in a satisfying way.

If it were really NASA punk, you would have a big history of doing cool stuff, followed by decades of your bosses promising you'll do more cool things while stripping all the funding away to the point where you're excited about someone else working with you to send your guys to the moon on their stuff. Oh, and those bosses gave your cool old stuff to a different town, completely unaffiliated with space, halfway across the country.

Obviously you're not going to be running experiments and going over checklists 16 hour a day 7 days a week, you just wear white spacesuits and walk around ships with a switch for every last thing.
