Doesn't 4 cities seem incredibly low?

Also is there any confirmation we can walk around and decorate the inside of our spaceships? That would be a major disappoint to me.

I think the planets will use good enough smoke and mirrors for 99% of players except crazy people who will try and circumvent every planet to prove it's just a video game or something.

I'd be nice if there were radiant quests and little things randomized on the rando planets, but I wasn't really expecting it.

There isn't enough resources to lovingly handcraft one thousand unique planets for a video game so in a giant space game it's either procedural generated areas or Outer Worlds.

Except for the main plot seems to revolve around how you're one of the few special people that can safely collect the mysterious ancient relics of power or whatever. Gives me a Dragonborn kinda feel. Wouldn't surprise me if your character has secret Jedi DNA or something to explain why you have sci-fi themed video game abilities that the NPCs don't.

One of the traits shown was "alien DNA" so they're gonna have something like that.

Also I hope they have biotics or magic or VATS or something because I suck at FPS and I need some kind of help/cheat.

I'm glad they're still pursuing romance. Four, huh? I'm guessing either one straight and one gay man and woman, or one straight man, one straight woman, one bisexual woman, and one non binary person?

Actually, I don't think the companions in fallout 4 cared about or recognized your gender, so maybe that's one of the changes?

Were people wearing space suits in the scenes in the main city?

Four doesn't sound like a lot either way.

I love the switch and controller games. I like Skyrim because how great it is with a controller, and to a lesser extent even fallout. I liked how with vats I could be a terrible fps player but still get some good fun and feel like an expert at times even with substandard reflexes and an innate inability to line up a headshot for anything.

I hope there is something like vats in this game too because I want an rpg not a call of duty game.

I really hope so too. I have a hard enough time WITH the vats. It being pure FPS would kill me.

He over promises stuff, and people feel like his hype comes across as insincere. He isn't a very charismatic person, and I think nowadays in general people are just tired of corporate mouth pieces and have a distrust of it because it all feels like carefully crafted PR and manipulation. People want to see gameplay, not an employee trying to appeal to us as if they are our friend who is hyped for this game alongside us. Keep the whole thing entirely transactional and leave it at that. Its cool for game devs to have some boundaries, Todd Howard is not my friend and I don't care about him.

To pile on the misery, if Skyrim is any indication, modding will happen within a certain framework and "use a whole rear end joy stick to fly the ship" is probably going to be happening years after mods that do things like rebalance numbers and add new assets.

I crave all the pointless poo poo like a place to display your weapons. I'm going to make a table just for sandwiches also.

There's a weird disconnect between the grandiose 2001/Star Trek: The Motion Picture highbrow spectacle and the punching Space Punk in the dick, but I think I'm here for it.

Habitat building and ship modding is so very much what I've always wanted.

I gotta say, having a large, customizable ship that you can walk around in and see the crew doing their thing in is very much my poo poo. Doubly so since boarding appears to be a thing.

I've only managed to catch part of the presentation on the side, have they said much yet when it comes to something like a central hook? Like Oblivion with its gates, Skyrim with the Dragons, some sort of core unifying story element and perhaps mechanic?

Not only boarding ships you disable but taking them to add to your "fleet". I'm taking over this backwater galaxy.

I think they said switching out from a fighter to a huge freighter to run cargo missions.

It's probably too much to hope that all your ships can exist physically at the same time instead of just in a selection menu. I'd love to have a giant junkyard of all the ships I've stolen.

dr_rat posted:

I believe they specifically said it's a thing, as well as running contraband. Be interested to see if it's as wonderfully broken as Smithing/enchanting.

Don't be a coward Todd just let us break the economy!

There was some kind of cargo notification in the cockpit when you request planet landing that looked like you would be scanned for contraband so there's probably some smuggling skill or secret compartment on your ship where you need to hide the stolen stuff.\

That detail looked really cool to me.

I don't hate that they didn't bother with things games like star citizen do well (taking off / landing on planets, atmospheric flight, land vehicles, etc).

So you land, the game generates stuff nearby, and you go do those things on foot. I think the real question is how repetitive that content will feel after 100+ hours. Abandoned mining base with pirates can only have so many layouts etc

I dunno "cave" and "barrow" kept me pretty entertained in Skyrim.

I think you need the giant number of planets even if nothing is on them and no one goes there. The background needs to feel expansive even if you don't actually investigate it. Otherwise you get Outer Worlds which feels like a small village not a massive solar system.
