all i really want outta starfield is for blind exploration to be worthwhile. morrowind is my favorite game ever largely for that reason, and nothing bethesda has made since even comes remotely close in that regard. companions, quests, story, idgaf about any of that if flying to a random moon of a random gas giant doesn't offer something cool to find and spectacular views.

K8.0 posted:Hot take : cities and dialogue are the worst parts of every RPG. Bethesda games are popular in large part because they minimize how much time you waste on the parts everyone says they like but actually don't enjoy. the cities in morrowind kick massive amounts of rear end and you're dumb

after spending some 20 hours with starfield, it is fine. good, even. but man there are so many bad design decisions, this game could be fantastic but bethesda doesn't want to learn anything from anyone.

Zero VGS posted:I'm more angry at reviewers than Bethesda. It's more of this "oh yeah game is all hosed up and sterile and disappointing, 9/10". Like if they wound up with a poo poo score on their precious Metacritic it would be a nice "come to jesus" moment for the Maryland slackers, but that ain't gonna happen. yeah, like i'd give the game three stars in its released state. good, fun to be had, but there are a lot of problems in this game that are solved issues elsewhere in the gaming landscape. the flow of traveling to and landing on planets and moons alone is just, so fuckin bad and it completely demolishes ~*~my immersion~*~. when no man's sky, a game made by fewer people than bethesda has janitors, does interplanetary travel as much better as it does, it's just disappointing. it feels like the space part of the game called 'Starfield' is maybe its single weakest aspect.

AccountSupervisor posted:To me a Bethesda RPG based in Space is less about moments like this would be all a fair point if you didn't still have to engage with the space parts of the game that are very badly done. and it's not even all terrible! i like the space combat and that you have to manage powering your systems like in tie fighter, and i like the 'weightiness' of the ships compared with, say, no man's sky where everything is ultra nimble. it's the godawful flow of having to gently caress around in menus within menus to actually go to a planet and land on it that really chaps my rear end.

since i first saw it, i've been saving credits to buy the murasame just got it and it does not disappoint, the interior is totally my jam and it kicks rear end in a fight. it has really low cargo capacity so it cannot really be used as a hauler but that's ok i stole a mule and use that if i want to accept delivery missions

I think having one wide open area near the starport would be enough, but it's just a lot of walking to fairly desolate buildings. new atlantis sucks so hard that i bet a lot of the people unhappy with the game got there and quit. it woukd have sucked at any point, but putting it right near the start was the worst thing they coulda done. neon should have been the first major city you visited.

i threw a couple windows in my murasame and switched the armory it comes with to a captain's quarters and i think i am gonna ride this thing to the end of the game, i fuckin love this ship. it easily shreds every enemy i have come across, it looks fuckin great externally, and the interior layout is basically perfect. that said, i am pretty tempted to buy the insane, weird, hugely asymmetrical c-class ship from paradiso for the hell of it, considering i am absurdly rich from obsessively scanning every single thing on every single planet and moon in every system i have been sent to for quests and selling the survey data to vlad.

i bought the huge asymmetrical c-class from paradiso and man the interior is disapppinting in its stock configuration i was able to fairly easily fix it but it's nuts to me that bethesda didn't give it a better interior by default. it doesn't even have any beds! and two of the connecting corridors lead literally nowhere, they connect to structural pieces instead of habs you can actually go into.

Might actually restart with the Ronin build i started using the axe when i ran outta ammo and then stuck with it as sort of a joke but now that i have all the melee perks unlocked, i can't even imagine going back to guns. yeah i burn through medkits fast, but everything dies so quick that when i switch to a gun it feels like i'm trying to kill dudes by throwing pebbles at them. i only use guns now against turrets, which are far more effective at chewing me up before i can get close enough to slice them than any humans are.

i finished the game, did a quick ng+ run in about 3 hours, and then did an even quicker one. i got ng+ beat in under an hour the second time i did it, and that included a quick detour to neon to do a quest so i could buy my trusty wakizashi back. on the third reset my armor got some fuckin kickass perks so i think i am gonna stay in this reality a good long while

The Lone Badger posted:Anyone else have a problem where you can only fire one shot during Phased Time? If you are full auto you can keep the burst going, but as soon as you stop you can't fire again. my var'uun dagger doesn't need to scale when it does 130 damage per strike, heals 10% of my health every kill, decreases my damage taken, has a high crit rate and a high chance to disarm enemies, all without taking ammo (i switched to melee at first entirely because i was always out of ammo because guns take a billion bullets to kill poo poo) and melee weapons can come with modifiers on them as well, my current one doesn't have any but i had an axe that had a decent chance to set the enemy on fire every hit in my first playthrough

I don't care about spoilers but what is it? i don't really know what that something is supposed to be, but i do think the game gets a lot better as soon as you gently caress off from new atlantis and cydonia. new atlantis specifically just sucks, navigating it is a chore and they really nailed making a huge city feel as empty and lifeless as possible.

Nothing really happens in Cydonia or New Atlantis and it's mildly eerie Starship Troopers aesthetic that only is apparent if you look into the details of how fashy the UC comes off as. paradiso feels tragically half-baked, to me. it needed to be more ostentatious and silly, as is it just feels like an unremarkable resort in florida.

JerikTelorian posted:Aside from the somewhat railroaded intro you can be a space trucker. There are missions to move goods and people around the universe. You can even get a space trucker ballcap. yep like there are multiple traits that have unique dialogue but also conflict with one another so you can only choose one, asking a player to start from scratch to actually see all that is bonkers for a game with a ng+ that repeats indefinitely. especially since you assume your role in each new universe after that universe's you dies, so who is to say that that universe's you would even have the same traits as the real you in the first place? maybe the you in the previous universe was a freestar settler but the you in the new one is a uc colonist. like, there, i just gave them a canonical in-game reason to let you change traits, i thought about this part of the game more than bethesda apparently did. it's a good example of why this game frustrates me even as i really like a lot of it.

trizzNPH posted:tbf you are not the 'you' of your universe as starborn. the 'you' of the universe you go to in NG+ is said to have died before they could make it to the lodge unless i missed something that says otherwise, thats why they're all so shocked to see you right, but you are still assuming that role. so you could justify rerolls by saying that because you are assuming that you's role, you are playing the part of, say, a freestar settler because that's who that you was, and people in the freestar collective would be none the wiser that it isn't the you from that universe. given that starborn seem to have a lot of intrinsic knowledge about the multiverse, it seems like a no-brainer to me. this all assumes you need an in-game justification for rerolls, which i don't think you do in the first place and it's just an unnecessary way to gate things off and necessitate a brand-new save, but rather the fact that it's this easy to make a justification for rerolls just highlights how dumb it is that you can't do them.

Mr. Pool posted:My impression is that Bethesda went through great pains to make basically any interpretation correct (cowards path) nah, at least as far as the uc goes they are very deliberately portrayed as real shitheads trying to appear as the grown-ups in the room. the museum you go through practically beats you over the head with it and overall the game makes it pretty obvious they are basically the united citizen federation from starship troopers (the movie version, ie very much not the good guys). i genuinely cannot see how anyone could possibly interperet them any other way. then again a lot of people didn't understand that starship troopers was satire, so.

They are presented as 'hard choices' who can be convinced that working with other groups and doing the right thing is absolutely okay and they even praise and reward you for like exposing their lovely secret ops. Freestar is the same where the writing doesn't actually want to make you dislike them so you can go in and shoot one of their leaders in the loving face and everyone just goes "Huh well ok" despite nearly making GBS threads themselves earlier at the idea of saying something mean.
