when i was first walking around new atlantis a couple npc's said "you know you dont need your helmet here, right?" so i took it off and immediately got "your suit is protecting you / your suit protection is running out!" pretty sure it was a bug but i never remove my helmet just in case

blowing up planets isn’t genocide though. it would be genocide if you put all humans in residential schools and made them speak klingon or w/e though. kill the human, save the sentient and all that

Also, is there any way to unequip your weapon so I can switch to punching without tediously navigating menus and unequipping my weapon? Very bizarre that they didn't just make it work like "selecting the weapon you're already using (or just an empty slot) in the quick menu unequips it." Or that no one mentioned this when playtesting unarmed. loquacius posted:I don't think it works if you have an AMD card on your pc Oh that's right, it wouldn't since it relies on the GeForce Experience streaming thing.

visiting Earth was interesting, they made you park far away so you can take in the sights and dwell upon our planets fate but then you end up going down into a 30 story basement in Florida where it seems they treat rocks as water in some places, just flowed into rooms.

turn off the TV posted:it's a robot game tradition it makes sense that they all have a potential genocide ending. if you're gonna up the stakes in a game where all you do is kill kill kill you can either kill even more on a planetary scale or stop someone else from doing genocide (by killing). i suppose there could also be a transcendent type ending where you alter some fundamental aspect of reality or bridge a connection between species/various sapient beings. and that's kinda what 2 of the ac6 endings are

Assault armor is just an outward explosion of Kojima particles, so presumably they exist in the new game too and nobody just gives a poo poo about it.

There is a button in the menu in Starfield that automatically hides the space suit when you aren't in a deadly environment. Not sure why you'd ever unequip a space suit because it gives you an insane amount of stats compared to regular clothes.

The shields are made out of stuff, it is not explained what stuff they are made out of. Let your imagination run wild.
