If that’s the case, wouldn’t they have made it interesting?

"basically we made a coloring book. It's bland, boring, but some talented artists will add onto the poorly fleshed out systems later and keep it alive for five years. We love our modding community."

Watching Bethesda scrape together this new IP and it just being.. Average.. Is disheartening. I hope they're just channeling their good ideas in ES6 but I'm losing faith.

I lost faith when the lead creative left like 6 years ago

We can just wait for the mod that recreates Skyrim in Starfield.

Land on a planet, you step off the ship, and you suddenly get captured. Hard cut to black.

Slow fade in... "you're finally awake"

"Walked right into that UC ambush, same as us and that thief over there."

"That's Solomon Freestar! The true High King of Skyrim!"

And the dragons are just space ships and the souls you absorb are just... uh... radiation I guess from damaging the reactor. Or the magic space civilization from Starfield originated from here, so that's why everyone has magic.

I'm not backing down from the space ship dragons though, that part is just brilliant.

"Spaceships are dragons" Buddy we all know you're just trying to make an excuse for your vore mod.

"No, no, you need a warm and soft fleshy interior which you have to enter through the mouth, how else would you have dragon spaceships"

We all know how this goes

It's just a coincidence the airlock happen to be teeth shaped. A teeth pattern ensures none of the air escapes.

I was actually pretty impressed with the loading, especially after coming from bg3. It was pretty much instant for me.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Coming from bg3, I had the opposite opinion. BG3 loading screens take a while but it doesnt load very much unless your loading saves a lot. With Starfield you get hit with a small loading screen constantly like when transitioning in/out of ships, buildings, planets, etc.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago

I save scum like a mother so bg3 was pretty painful to get through. Starfield was a breath of fresh air.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

For me it's not the speed, but the quantity. Docking? Loading screen. Launching off planet? Loading screen. Changing planet? Loading screen. Landing on the same planet? Loading screen. The only solution is to fast travel everywhere in an "immersive" space sim RPG. NMS and Elite:Dangerous have solved this issue. Bethesda needs to get with the times already.

They released the game 5 years too late, it was clearly made for a different market

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Empty, lifeless, soulless without a deep story.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They realized that modders were going to overhaul the game in any way, so they just gave us a blank canvas instead.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Out of everything else, this is the most scathing criticism of this game I’ve seen 🤣

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

Such as life. Or space, in general.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

So where are the space hookers?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

The penultimate step before they just release a barebones framework that just lets the community create all the content (including patching their shitty code) while they keep raking in the money.

[–] mrbogus 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Vast and “Empty” ==/== years of content

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

I see you’ve discovered space, congrats!

[–] mrbogus 4 points 2 years ago

Indeed, just not my cup of tea is all.
