i personally find the main quest to be bethesdas best. lots of great quests i just played one a few days ago that left me speechless

Agreed and much like skyrim this game is better enjoyed with minimal fast traveling, the problem is that fast travel is just too convenient and people will complain that it's just talking and loading screens without actually enjoying the exploration.

I'm intrigued, how the hell do you explore in this game? I thought the only way to get from system to system and planet to planet is to click through menus. The only choice seems to be whether I'll go back to the ship and click through menus or stay where I am and click through menus.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Within a system you can bring up the "scanner tool" view in the ship to then point yourself to a planet and travel that way.

But to to travel to various systems, yes you'll need to use a menu. But then I'm not sure how you would expect to fly between systems without some form of menu to select where you want to go.

You could try walking around a planet instead of fast traveling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Use the scanner tool, I find I have the opposite experience most people have while exploring. Many people say there's nothing to do, I hate it when I pick a random ass moon in some god forsaken system and keep fining structures littered all over the damn place. I just wanna be the first person on this planet and find animals and shit, yet there's always a solar farm, mining rig or small lab in the middle of fucking nowhere.

when i first played skyrim i fast travelled everywhere. then years later i did a no fast travel playthrough and wow, the sheer amount of quests i had never seen before was astounding

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's what I'm saying. Almost all of the main quests are some of Bethesdas best ever. I really don't get all the hate for this game. It's not perfect by any means but to say it's garbage is just wrong. I'm pretty new to Lemmy and I can't help but compare it to what I see back over at reddit. More hive mind bull. The Internet told me I need to hate this thing so I hate it.

yep exactly, everything about bethesda has been shit on ever since fo4 release, and 76 made it much worse. its like nobody actually enjoys gaming anymore, its just a side picking insult throwing cult
