Excited by the Mech Warrior dogfights. I'm not a fan of twitchy flying where you get a couple shots in as you fly past each other, do a 180, get a couple more shots in, repeat. I liked when they kicked in the grav jets and lurched forward a bit.

Popete posted:I guess I never really listened to Todd Howard pre-release hype before but I don't really understand the hate he gets. He seems to genuinely enjoy making these games and for all their faults they're still some of the best games being made. He seems fine. As long as he's not pushing NFT's or hundreds of microtransactions. I'm guessing people who followed Fallout 76 might feel differently though. The only mod I'm guaranteed to use at the start of every Bethesda game is removing carry weight limits.

In one inventory screenshot it shows MASS 362/1100. Just realized weight will actually be important to get "realism" on low gravity planets. Set it to 50,000 and maybe you can jump into low orbit.

I'm guessing both types like with Skyrim and Fallout. From an AMA in 2021 ToddBethesda: Our plan it have full mod support like our previous games. Our modding community has been with us for 20 years.

Looks like a near perfect game for me. The only thing that can bring it down is massive performance issues or bugs beyond the usual jank. Kind of disappointed that the planets are generated on entry. Limits people being able to find gems and post where to find them. There must be a flag to lock a bunch of story related planets that modders can use to make Morrowind World. I'm happy and sad that the physical merch is a watch, controller and headphones. Happy to save a hundred+ bucks, sad to not have a case with a VASCO figure. One in a million chance to export our ships as an STL to 3D print? Someone did this just from the first trailer https://www.printables.com/model/173175-starfield-chronograph-watch-case

isndl posted:That number of planets is mostly filler, but at the same time it'll be extremely popular with the settlement building crowd who get to have giant sandboxes to gently caress around with. I expect there's going to be "coolest planets to build a vacation home" type lists going pretty much immediately after launch.... Sounds like the vast majority of planets are generated as you approach them. So no lists to share with other people. I think from an early interview with Todd he mentioned 1,000 being a number that they could name by hand. I figured that meant procedurally generating the biomes, fauna, flora etc and then locking it down. I guess we'll find out later if the locked down ones are 20, 100, 500... Maybe we will have Console Commands to set seeds for generating planets?

ohh, some nice variety in there. Hoping there's over a dozen options. This guy's frame by frame ship customization breakdown, had some neat things. I'm really interested in the spaceport shop showing the habitat module manufacturers and variations. Some manufacturers had like 8 modules some had 3. So you can mix and match your sleeping quarters with your mess hall with your armory. Prime material for modders to recreate the Firefly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQjP3_QTTGo

If the 4080 Ti releases just before Starfield and the 4080 gets a measly $100 price drop. Does that ever coincide with drops for 4070, 4060? Will the 3070 even be available then? Going from an i3 & 1060, to 3070 probably snowballs into replacing the mobo + an i5, and a 750 Watt PSU, optionally switching over to NVME SSD & Win11 on the off chance DirectStorage is ever a thing.

They are holding back the footage of visiting earth to get another hype boost before launch. The main benefit of being owned by Microsoft is that they've been able to work with the MS Flight Simulator team for a couple years now. It's the second DLC and will bring in-atmosphere flight for an additional 150GB. You see that city? You can go there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3xp-SnZDoY

John F Bennett posted:For real. I thought we were about to find out if you can in theory really walk around a planet, or if a cell is generated upon landing that will have invisible walls at the boundaries. Maybe the invisible walls will be oxygen level warnings, but then for planets with breathable atmosphere? I guess I can learn to live with being confined to smaller areas. I've only circumnavigated a planet twice in No Man's Sky. I was disappointed in no vehicles, I figured a little rover at the very least. How does Vasco or companions keep up with a leveled up booster pack player. Also disappointed that the one asking about accessibility didn't ask about customizing the HUD as a non-confrontational way to ask if we can remove the XP bar in the middle of the screen.

The Lone Badger posted:Is Starfield going to be the prophecied third coming of Paid Mods though? Yes. Todd mentioned in one of the recent interviews that modders should be able to make a living off of their work. That's true I guess, but I'm hoping we find out more before it launches. Not a deal breaker but one of the reasons I haven't pre-ordered yet. What was the percentage of Creation Club vs free for Fallout 4? Can NexusMods be locked out for a while? Is there any talk amongst modders?

Schubalts posted:Creation Club mods are a tiny fraction of the overall amount of mods. LOL I figured it was less than 1%, that explains why. I was just wondering what they'll be changing to try and get that number up. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/6938-starfield-general/ I didn't notice boob and butt sliders in the character creation clips. When I was playing Skyrim with 50 mods I got the feeling that would be immensely useful for deforming armour/spacesuits. Would probably fix half of the compatibility issues.

It's not like NASA made gendered suits irl. Ya, I didn't mean big boobs I meant absolutely ridiculously big boobs. I was just getting modded faces and armour on my last Skyrim playthrough and every mod needed CBBE or whatever. More sliders built in would eliminate the middle man (pervs).

Nvidia's only at 80% of users on Steam, no biggie. Nvidia sponsored games allow AMD FSR alongside Nvidia DLSS, but not the other way around. Since DLSS performs better and in comparison reviews it would make AMD look bad.

I'm still pissed about no DLSS and raytracing built in. Not really for September but for the years to come. Imagine what the 5080 or 6080 can do, like full raytracing, HairWorks 4.0, plus whatever new tech comes out @ 4K with 120fps. It's been covered by a bunch of places like GamersNexus and Digital Foundry, so maybe they'll be shamed into adding it.

Todd said they haven't shown everything. So he didn't mean intelligent alien life or space magic? It was spoons? First Creation Club paid mod is a spoon quest. You are delivering 5000 canisters of soup to a backwater planet, but they have no spoons. You have to travel back to Earth to find spoons before they starve.

Sucks that I'm working from home and able to play Divinity for a couple hours while I'm working but September is going to be our busiest month and that Steam icon is just going to be taunting me all day long.

I was going to joke about being the only person buying it on the Epic store, but it's not even there. If review copies are being sent out soon hopefully that means they are confident enough in the game to not leave the review embargo to release day. I guess the game is big enough that reviewers will need 2-3 weeks to get to the late game things like ship building and space magic. That also means romancing your ship will be a lengthy process and they definitely want ship loving to hit bear loving levels of viral marketing.

I guess these early access releases are throwing things off. Diablo 4's review embargo was before the early access release date, no reason to think it won't be the same here. For Diablo 4, non spoiler reviews were 2 days before early access release. Spoiler reviews day of early access release.
