>>728723549Quite literally nobody cares.
>>728723693Untrue. I have space autism and I care.
Hope they're not talking about more paid mod "content" that shit's garbage compared to real DLC.
>>728723549
Sirs this is great news!
>>728723956>he called me the joe danger guyTodd's charisma score is 10
>>728723791Ehm actually. It's called creations and it's totally different.
Those who never lost faith in Todd will be rewarded with eternal paradise.
Saarfield bros, we are so back...
>>728723956brutal mog
>>728723693/v/ has always been a starfield board.
>>728723956Holy shit, lmfao
>>728723956You just know that NMS getting an award after a decade at the Expedition 33 awards this year had to be a total kick in the nuts to old Todd.
How many among us have actually stuck with the game since it's release?
>>728723549>only 2800 people playing it on steam>modding community is practically non-existentWhy does bethesda even bother with this game still
>>728723956Toddbros . . .
>>728726878I just hope thry release the full planet tools before they drop it
>>728725290If Skyrim was there it would mog everyone hard.NMS at least deserves it because people didnt quit on the game
>shartfailed
>>728723549>backIts never going to be alive until they somehow manage to remove all loading screens.
>>728726878>Why does bethesda even bother with this game stillIsn't this Todd's passion project?
>>728723956Starfield sucks but you need to be mentally stunted to play and enjoy no mans sky
>>728727130modders will NEVER have access to full planet tools, animations or lipsync
>>728726878Because Starfield has a larger market among console players right now. Unlike the picky elitist PC/Steam secondaries, console players are the primary, slop consumer level players that actually buys the Game Pass subscriptions and/or paid mods. Steam numbers represents a small fraction of the amount of players Starfield has, not to mention it only shows concurrent players, so we don't have the actual full picture of how many players are actually booting the game up in a single day/week/month.
>>728723549if they somehow can make the game actually fun, I'd consider redownloading it.I tried to play 10 hours of it at launch, and it was abysmally boring
>>728723549Oh boy! Starfield 2, and Todd's already talking about Fallout 5!Elder Scrolls sisters, isn't this just thrilling?
>>728728513Oh come anon, they just ported Skyrim to the Switch 2!
>>728723549>closed-doors showing>those who attendedSo they have no confidence in the content so they're doing a controlled test on either ((professional)) journalists who'll suck their dick regardless for continued access, or the retards who still play this who'll pay for the privilege of sucking it.Kinda sad how far they fell when they could simply just release a trailer publicly at random, rack in millions of views and praises instantly while everybody gushed and creamed their pants. Now they're a joke even among normalfags, and they fucking deserve it.
>>728723693Kys faggot, I care.
>>728723549Lit
>>728723693>Quite literally nobody cares.Nearly 2 billion people on the subcontinent care.
>>728723956Todd got mogged here, but his comment was so based he got unmogged immediately.
>>728728513I can not wait for Todd's next masterpiece
>>728725290Skyrim is the best selling RPG of all time, Todd does not care
>>728723956sarfield is still a better game than no man's skyat least it has a story, and a point, and an ending
>>728723549Unless there's aliens people can fuck nobody will care
>>728732489>story
>>728732489No story is better than bad story
>>728723549The story had my interest when it was initially >Who made the artefacts and what do they doEspecially the who part, but then that part gets forgotten, and the artefacts purpose is a shitty multiverse battle royale.
Yeah? Where was the shit they were excited about for 2025 with Starfield? Cars and one shitty expansion?
>>728733875>MYSTERY BOX
>>728723693I care though
>>728733972If they added alien waifus would you be satisfied?
>>728732489Every tried reading books? There's a lot of that in those.
Prior to release, I was giving Todd one more chance for the xth time. But then they dropped the starborn trailer. If that wasn't the most blatant>we creatives at Bethesda do not care and do not have to try, you retards will eat it upI don't know what is.
>>728723549Can I kill all companions?
>>728723549I hope starfield becomes a good game. theres so much promise and Im saddened Todd Howard's lovechild is fumbling so badly.
>>728723693This.
>>728723693HEY!Todd cares(not really)
There's still more people playing Skyrim and Fallout 4 than there are playing Starfield.
Why is it so boring? Even for Bethesda, the main plot and nothing characters are worse than nothing. For an adventure that is focused around mystery and conspiracy. Where is all of the intrigue? Where are the high stakes espionage missions? Essentially nothing happens outside of the one companion that gets jello puddied at home base or on the space station.
>>728726878there's only one good starfield modpackit's a star wars conversion mod even then it's dragged down by starfield itself
>>728723693Uh, those who attended did you fucking CHUD. Did you not read the post?
>>728723549>wasting time on shartslop instead of making ES6
>>728723956Humiliation ritual.
>>728723549>Oblivion is worse than Morrowind>Skyrim is better than Oblivion>Fallout 4 is worse than Skyrim>Fallout 76 is worse than Fallout 4>Starfield is worse than Fallout 76How did Skyrim manage to be the only modern Bethesda game to improve upon its predecessor? Of course it was far worse than Morrowind, but at least it was a step in the right direction.
>>728723549why do they want it to be a live service hit so bad
>>728734969TES6 is not coming out until 2035, and will likely get shit on by retards for not being as content rich as modded Skyrim. Might as well have a side team work on the games they already have out so they can have the funding to make TES6 not turn out like No Man's Sky and CP77 at launch.
>>728734567It was unironically a game made for Gen Xers that think space travel and NASA is the coolest shit ever because that's what they grew up on.
>>728723549Skipping the Switch 2...
>>728735458
>>728735189As >>728735242 said. It's pretty obvious that Bethesda wants to sell mod platforms and multiplayer slop rather than single player roleplaying games. Why develop a game and invest in those resources when you can shit out a sandbox with a different coat of paint and allow consumers the "experience" of building the game for them?
Starfield 2: Indian Redemption ArcSir, we are the understand to you not buying the dogshit. We are to making bread with your dogshit and selling you. Thanks to you sarr
>>728735579>2026 for a Starfield updatelollmao even
>>728723549Depends,Who are the people who are "excited" over it? It could just be executives excited over the new content being shitty skins as microtransactions.
>>728736156its only three weeks away
>>728736224 Unless I missed it, you're assuming early Q1 2026. It's Bethesda, so I'm assuming late Q3 2026
>>728723549These same people were excited for the game in the first place, this isn't even remotely reassuring.
>>728735579They're going to continue to throw good money after bad money because this was supposed to be Todd's magnum opus before retiring and he can't leave on such a massive L.
>>728723549HOLY FUCKING KINO STARFIELD IS BACK SIRS EMIL SOLOS
>>728723693it's Bethesda's magnum opus. it's the game they put the most effort into, the game they poured their soul into. and you say you "don't care"
>>728723549no one cares where is elder scolls 6 ?
>>728723693literally nobody bethesda burned all good will by every game after fallout 4 being dogshit and woke as fuckbreaking mods and making a woke ass fallout tv showtheyre bioware level done for lol
>>728736724if Bethesda is smart not for another 15 or 20 years l
>>728723549Okay but WHY did Todd unmake his legacy at the end of his career?
>>728735189>fallout 4 is worse than skyrimCome the fuck on. unless you mean as a modding platform and you prefer a fantasty setting
You now remember that you walk out of the mine, and Barret says you're the chosen one and gives you a ship and a robot within the first 30 minutes - post character creation. It's more egregious than giving your a minigun and power armor after the first 3 hours of Fallout 4
>>728737047The power armor reveal was great. You get an intro to the new armor system and a beater set to fix up while fusion cores are still scarce. Goodluck with that minigun after spending it's ammo in the first fight
>>728737046fallout 4 is worse than skyrim
>>728737047You're hardly even a chosen one in this game, but you'll learn later in the game that you're indeed one in a million in regards to surviving the events of the story where you would ordinarily die like your multiverse counterparts.
>>728736991legacy is personally irrelevant and only one thing matters on this earth
>>728735579Literally who?
I didn't hate Starfield.
>>728737442>it's established pretty early that anyone that touches the artifact gets cool space magic powers, not just the PC>PC is still the only one sent out to get artifacts and collect all of the powers while your companions stand there oohing and aahing next to youIt's not really a chosen one story, but it's poorly written
>>728737772I didn't hate it either, but it was a 6/10 game with nothing really interesting going on besides shooting the same 3 enemy types in the same handful of literal copy-paste dungeons. After the first 15 hours, it felt like an aggressive waste of time.
>>728737316skyrim is fun if you mod it, fallout 4 is still decent vanilla
>>728723549Noone who matters cares
>>728738041>fallout 4 is still decent vanilla
>More Ls for Larian
>>728732489>storyshit>endingshit>pointnone
>>728738034I kept finding either new POIs or new quests so I didn't feel the copy paste fatigue until about 90 hours. Which, to be fair, is about the same time I logged in fallout 4 on release before I got bored of it.New toddslop isn't as good as the old (I got like 200h+ in skyrim) but other games got even worse in the same time and it still scratches an itch. No one else even tries to make it.The low point is the main quest and especially those fucking temples, I have no idea what they were thinking
>>728738517The ending was at least interesting and the extra dialogue choices post game were cool.
>>728738664>interestingIt wasn't. You just talked to yourself about some vague metaphysical horeshit about multiverses that doesn't mean anything and you only get 3-4 extra dialogue choices that lets you skip some of the main story. But nothing more than that because skipping too much of the shitty plot would make the writers cry.
>>728723549fpbpno one cares about this shit, make FUCKING TES VI NIGGER TODD you absolute vantablack gorilla nigger - if I want to put it eloquently

bethesda just released a skyrim port to the switch that has a quarter second input lag. how are they still releasing absolute dogshit in 2025? why would anyone still buy bethesda games? they dont even make broken but unique games anymre. its just broken trash. why does nobody fucking learn?

>>728741417Yes
>>728723549SAAR
>>728738041No it isn't.
>>728735276If Bethesda had any smarts, they would have a side team doing Starfield DLC and then a main team on TES6. That way you could have some devs practicing skills that are applicable for later stages of the game process, then when TES6 is getting closer to release those DLC devs switch to that and can apply their skills there.Instead of hiring people for 7 years to make one game, then firing them when it's released because you don't need them anymore.
>>728741723Powered armor, mechs and aliens are too silly for a grounded and realistic NASApunk setting anon.
>Saarfield>In 2026If only we didn't have new games to play... maybe tendies can enjoy it since they have nothing.
>>728742132>If Bethesda had any smarts, they would have a side team doing Starfield DLC and then a main team on TES6.That's exactly how they're doing it, which is also one of the reasons why Starfield content is taking so long to get released. The issue is they also have teams working on other projects, like the mmos, mobile games, Fallout 4 updates, and Skyrim ports.
>>728741723>release the rev8 after the games out and realize that none of the games environments are suited to it because it wasn't created during initial development.
>>728732489>saarfield
>>728723549Im excited, Starfield has been the last great game released before a sea of slop in the past few years.
>>728723693I do. Not because it needs "saving", but because I'm interested in what they add for us as fans of the game. I've liked Starfield since 2023.
>>728742132They hired a few new writers for the Starfield team to keep pumping out DLC for many years to come.
>>728723956BRVTAL mogging.>>728732489Bait was believable in my day. But honestly, the 'space negro taking a nap' is the funniest gaming webm in the last 10 years so at least saarfield gave us that.
>>728732489Like comparing apples to oranges .It's a difference of Space Minecraft vs. Skyrim/Fallout in Space
>>728742669Wait that’s it isn’t itThe Shit 2 edition is what this is about
>>728723549It never left, but alright!
>>728727682There's a usenet post where he's talking about making a space RPG.
Thanks for beta testing, losers. I’ve been waiting years to play Starfield in all its finished glory and next year I will be served a succulent feast.
>>728723956>the Joe Danger guyholy fuck todd is one spicy bastard when he wants to be
They're gonna release the PS5 and Switch 2 versions with system overhauls and new DLC and it's gonna sell like crazy.
No Bodyslide = dead
>>728732489No Man's Sky:>Can fly directly from a planet's surface to space, and vice versaSaarfield:>Loading screenFor this reason alone, you are gay and wrong.
>>728743529same energy
>>728743983bodyslide is built into the character creation itself, there's no need to make that mod anymore.
>>728744010You can literally fly from a planet's surface to space and vice versa in starfield as well. Nigger what are you smoking.
>>728743529He dances better than 99.9% of /v/
>>728744136Why are you lying? You press the button to take off, get greeted by a stealth loading screen and then you appear in space. There is no seemless transition from ground to air. You're a lying faggot.
>>728744610There's a stealth loading screen in NMS as well. They both work the same lying faggot.
Somehow, despite it's faults, I still enjoy this game
>>728744716um ma'am your uh neck there....
>>728744675NMS:>Get in space ship>Fly upwards>Go to spaceSaarfield:>Press button to go to spaceYeah these are totally the same you fucking idiot. Get Todd's dick out of your mouth before you choke on it.
>>728744675I hope the update gives us the option to either see the little transition loading screen for "immersion" or if we can just go for the near instant yet obvious loading screen. I also don't want them to take away the thing where you see pictures you've taken as loading screens when the new update hits.
>>728744949me too anon
>>728741305no i think my question is better
>>728732192They fixed the crazy eye thing, but most the NPCs are still incredibly ugly.Ones like this are about as good as it gets.
>>728746123Named npcs look fine, better than usual desu since Bethesda npcs were always a little off.The procgen filler ones look awful because they're low effort models with all the sliders set to random. I don't think you're meant to look at them closely, they're just there because a futuristic city having the population of Whiterun doesn't work.

>>728743983Your alternatives are ZBB/VBB, SFF, BBL or Milky Way Vixens.
Pirated the game a few months ago and enjoyed it, like any other bethesda game. Had to mod the UI and get performance mods to make it better though. Also most mods are out of date because nobody gives a shit about the game (most of my mods haven't been updated since September 2023) and just barely worked but whatever. However, I would not pay more than $15 for this game.
>>728744075 That's fair, but let's be real-no matter how decent the built-in character creator is, it still doesn't touch Bodyslide levels of degeneracy and custom tweaking. People don't just want sliders, they want to sculpt hentai-tier abominations with physics that'd make Newton cry. Until I can make a space bimbo with gravity-defying cheeks in four dimensions, it's not truly replacing the mod.
>>728723549This is very exciting, Starfield + Shattered Space + Watchtower + a couple of POI Creations already fixes most of the games problems. From what i hear, they mean to go seamless with both space and land exploration. Apparently Sean Murray has been consulting too.TOOOOOOOOOOD
>>728736991It's not that he wanted to. His company has been running on inertia since morrowind, and hemorrhaging good talent for indians and marxist kids from american dev schools in uni. Compound that with bethesda corporate culture and now microsoft and they finally ran out of gas.
>>728748893Watch as PS5 and Switch 2 gamers buy the game and realize that it's actually great and we'll see more people talk about Starfield.
>>728749110Bethesda hired too many right wing white chuds instead of diverse developers which is why their games are incredibly boring and white.
>>728749110Bethesda needs to fire all their ugly white nerds and replace them with indians and marxists and then we'll see their games be good again. Conservatives cannot make good games and bethesda games are the epitome of the uncreativeness you see from right wing conservative whites.
>>728746336>Named npcs look fine
>>728749785that's a great looking NPC
Whats the point of nitpick minor issues of starfield when the real issues are fundamental to the core game.Overall lack of point to a lot of systems. Going into space, flying into space, building ships to fly in space = all meaningless.Loading screens. CDPR showed how great it is to enter a location thats physically based in the world with no loading screen in 2015 witcher 3. Bethesda plz take note.Cardboard characters. Procgen being generally less interesting than handcrafted stuff.Stuff like that.
>>728726878nigga have you even bothered to look at the Starfield modding scene? Kinggath/Watchtower alone runs LAPS around the entirety of the Skyrim and Fallout 4 modding community, and there is new shit every week too. Just because one sperg quit calling starfield bad on his way out don't mean a damn thing. Its business as usual for BGS.
>>728723549WAOW
>>728750141The starfield modding community also moved to bethesda's site instead of nexus, we see a lot of great mods there now.
Unless they can fix having to go through fucking 4 loading screens just to go to another planet, there is no way the game will ever be good.
>>728750151It's hard to think of a game that delivers kino exploration like starfield, definitely a dream game if you love exploration.
>>728749785there are almost no white companions. There's like>sarah morrigan>sam coe>the smuggler chick in crimson fleet>mathias, the crimson fleet burnout>that's itIt's actually crazy how brown and feminine the entire game is. After you get max affinity with sarah you can ask her about her previous partners and she talks about being on the cock carousel but never settling down. Sam coes kid is black but him and his ex-wife are white. The main black companion, barret is a gay black guy. The russian constellation member is black. Most high ranking officers are black with a brown or white female assistent, like the leader of uc sysdef, and the leader of the crimson fleet.
>>728750208some ex skyrim dev said its because of the trash items that are stored in memory so they can loaded for each room you go intoif the rooms arent separated with loading screens the game would stutter because of all the trash
>Kinggath/Watchtower alone runs LAPS around the entirety of the Skyrim and Fallout 4 modding communityLOLStarfield sirs are funny
>>728750208but starfield lets you fast travel from the bottom of a dungeon to the surface of another planet with one loading screen
>>728750208You can navigate the game with just 1 loading screen though?
>>728750316i will never understand why people turn skyrim into a 3rd person hack n slash
>>728723549>>728723693The Star Wars overhaul mod is actually real good.
>>728750316>mod the game to complete regress it several times over to bottom of the barrel low skill generic action slash "gameplay" Ravioli Ravioli Not Even Worth Blowing Out of My Assholi
>game makes a big deal about how bad it will be if you let a clone of genghis khan run wild in space>nothing happens, he just becomes a regular pirate who shows up once after blowing up a merchant ship and then disappears forevergame is so stupid and never pays off anything. There's a couple of cool story missions like the one where the dimension traveller is trying to kill you in the main city and you have to escape but that's it, the rest of the game just isn't worth playing and is a complete slog
>>728732489>and a pointNo, it's more pointless than ever.
>>728750247So many exciting barren wasteland features to see again and again. It's a visual treat.
>>728750392>>728750329Unless I am misremembering:>get quest in a a building to go to another planet>1 loading screen to leave the building>1 loading screen to enter ship>1 loading screen to go to space>1 loading screen to fly to another galaxy>1 loading screen to land on a planet>1 loading screen to exit ship
>>728750568Why dont you just click on the map and click on the planet and you'll be transported there without going through all that?
BGS really needs to lean into the ship-to-ship boarding feature because no other game does it as smoothly and intuitively as starfield. disabling an enemy ship, docking with it then clearing it room by room in zero-G is an experience you can only get in starfield. flesh it out, add fuel mechanics and financial incentives to hijack and steal ships, just go nuts with it
>>728741723That would have been pretty sick, power armor space suits would have made Starfield's aesthetics significantly less gay
>>728750440DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS ANON. Why are you lying? It's literally the same fucking slopfield with a cringy star wars makeover. I have no idea what the mod author was thinking keeping the same characters and story locations and just turning in into a Star Wars version. I wasted my time giving it a chance and deleted the lot after an hour.
>>728750801the quests and story isnt starfield's problem, it's actually better than 99% of the games out there.
>>728742838
>>728750568Entering and exiting the ship is just a fade animation to hide the transition. I wouldn't call it a loading screen, it takes maybe one second.
>>728751042my favorite regression is that they somehow forgot how to make elevators work since fallout 4 to starfield. And yet they can have a cargo lift work.
>>728750080>Loading screens. CDPR showed how great it is to enter a location thats physically based in the world with no loading screen in 2015 witcher 3.Why do people care so much about this? Is slowly crawling through a crack in the wall, or waiting for an elevator to go up that fun? You still gotta load shit, all you can do is disguise it.Also I can't think of any games that do the no-loading-screen thing while being so easy to plug new areas into. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice moddability for something so trivial as that
>>728751265Crawling through a crack in the wall shows way more effort, love and creative skills than just putting up a loading screen. Shows how shitty and terrible devs before 2000s are.
i liked starfield but i didn’t find a reason to play ng+ so i haven’t played since my first play through are there any cool overhauls or mod packs yet?

>>728750247>definitely a dream game if you love explorationits not. there is nothing worth finding. its been a problem since Oblivion because all the good stuff is handed out by quests. Starfield has a separate problem of relying on procedural environments filled with the same 5 buildings and the same loot over and over again. the most interesting part of the game is the lockpicking minigame.
>>728724172out of a 100
>>728723956To be fair to Todd, Joe Danger is fucking fun, and was how I got to know Hello Games.
>>728735189Yup, anyone looking forward to future bethesda games at this point is a retard
Creation Club or did they do that already?It's certainly not excising 90% of the brown people from the game.
>>728732489>better game>a story>game is better because it has worse game but better story
Starfield is kino, low IQ plebs got filtered
Sure is shilly in here.
>>728753346Shills for a 2 year old game or genuine fans?
>>728750178Yeah and how do they would with mod manager software?8 can you freeze the version of the mod?
>>728740194me for the last 12 years
>>728753545Bitter fans maybe. I really want Starfield to be good. I like the aesthetic, the systems, most of the main NPCs, but fucking hell playing it is a sad affair, and it's all shit that could be fixed with an expansion-pack level of fixing the foundation.I've been kinda hoping that's what they've been doing the past year to make doing a PS5 port even worth fucking doing at this point, since no one will touch it if it's the same flawed game.
>>728750631Because you shouldn't need to go to a menu to go somewhere
>>728753690new creation kit update has a lot of new words about new systems so they're clearly overhauling things for the PS5 release. We'll see how that goes when it comes out.

Starfield will be the most talked about and beloved game of 2026. Mark my words.
>>728754480The cathedral thing is that because a cathedral is an absolutely massive collection of art out together to create something greater, while a parlor is a single piece?
>>728754480200 gb wabbajack mod you gotta click yes to download otherwise you'll have to pay for a nexus account. That's not free nigga.
>>728753887>>728753887Just looked at it the first time. No fucking comments, what fucking dogshit.
>>728753887Can you not just copy the .esp files or whatever? Gamebryo's one virtue was that the modding is really fucking simple. Last time I checked you could download large collections of paid mods in zip files with no issues.
Starfield engoodening begins now, they're going to have a Cyberpunk-tier comeback
>>728754553>>728754553Imagine being stupid enough to not buy lifetime premium a decade ago.
>>728754671>buy>premiumthen it's not $0.00 then dumbass
>>728754623yeah you can literally pirate paid mods without issues
>>728754623No, most mods aren't just a single file. This is why vortex by itself is just absolutely shits of Bethesda bullshit mod store. Let alone better mod manager tools.
>>728754705>>728754705Not paying for a mod dingus I'm paying for massive data pulls, API access to Nexus and the ability to download 200gb of mods with one click.All in all dividing my $50 I paid a decade ago by all the times I used wabbajack and used highspeed severs to download content....my most recent Skyrim modlist probably cost me a penny or two So yes a penny for a 200gb modlist versus shit gayass watch tower mod, from the epic game store of mod sites.
>>728754932Yeah that's a decent dollar value I'll give you that. The paid mods are a fucking joke, they don't mog shit especially when you compare by $.
>>728723549Where's my fucking Elder Scrolls, Bethesda?
>>728754735>>728754735Where from. What's funny I'm a senior dev, been working in tech since 2011 and in fang for a good portion of that. I'll pay bullshit amounts of money for all sorts of things But I will never, ever, pay a fucking penny for a mod
The thing I don't get about Bethesda is that their models and textures are mid and the engines are made and the plots are generic nowadays, what is holding them back from giving interns a wide berth and letting them pump out content? It's not hard to come up with an elder scrolls plot. Here I'll do it right now. There's a cult of Hircine worshippers who have infiltrated the Breton aristocracy. You need to root them out and there's werewolves. You need to work with a vampire. You go into hircines realm. Wood elves go crazy. It turns out you're the chosen one and killing the original werewolf saves the day.
>>728750329>>728750568He's not lying. This is also with no mods installed. Sorry for the shit quality though. If it's a brand new planet, you can get about 3 loading screens. For planets you've visited with landmarks you can go to, you only need 1.
I'm one of the rare people to enjoy this game somewhat, I think it's comfy to build a flying home and survey the planets and some of the side quests are okay too, at max difficulty and survival of course. The biggest and most glaring problem with this game are the POIs, there are hundreds of planets but if it spawns a cryo research lab for example it's always the same one, with exact same placement of items and enemies. It's completely unforgivable especially when you consider how many unique dungeons Morrowind and oblivion had, I can see normies immediately dropping this game when they see a repeated dungeon like this.
>>728723693Unlike you, not everybody wants every game to be a failure.Some of us actually like games :)
Here's to hoping they make it perform better. Not sure wtf is up with their engine make-up that makes the game barely hold 40fps on a 1070, despite not looking any better than Skyrim besides the poly count and texture resolution.
>>728733875>>728737874I think Bethesda's story/writing problems are incredibly exaggerated. Is the writing and story brilliant? No. Is it any worse than your run-of-the-mill video game or RPG? Controversial but I'm convinced not. I think people are confusing the animation and voice direction with the writing itself. Take something incredibly cringe-worthy like pic related. Now imagine it acted out by a talented actor such as Bryan Cranston or whomever. Suddenly it seems fine. Or consider if it was narrated in a text-based game.>I lunged to where he lay, gripping him by the shoulders "Sam.. Sam it's me..." Tears began to well in my eyes, "It's me, Sam..."Again, now it sounds totally fine. The lines are fine, but so much of how we interpret a scene is down to the delivery. And Bethesda insists on telling a melodrama despite budgeting almost nothing each scene so they come off incredibly stilted and uncanny. Really they gotta tell their writers to stop trying to write dramatic, emotional sequences because they're not gonna get the animation budget to make it land in the actual game.
>>728735579>Switch 2 portafter they somehow made Skyrim perform worse on it? Boy I can’t wait for 12fps at 640x480!
>>728755836But...what happened to the 50 loading screens?
>>728746970>I have to go now, my planet needs me.
>>728755836>For planets you've visited with landmarks you can go to, you only need 1.You don't even need to select a landmark at that point either. You could just select anywhere on that planet and it would take you straight there. If it's a new planet, the 3 loading screens you'd get are for your ship being in front of the planet, to land on the planet and then to immediately exit the ship (without needing to get up from the cockpit). Nowhere near as over exaggerated as people make it sound.
>>728735579>will be worth the wait(X) to doubt.
>>728736698>pour soul into game>game is soulless
>>728750141>Kinggath/WatchtowerLiterally fucking who? Buy an ad
>>728756874>You don't even need to select a landmark at that point either. You could just select anywhere on that planet and it would take you straight there.Apologies for the even shittier quality video to accompany this one.
>>728723549Unless they can fix the multiversesal nihilistic nature of the game I don't care.
>>728758260The only issue with that is it resetting all quest and exploration progress, I just started at Ng+10 to make the game harder because I'm not gonna do 9 runs of the same shit
>>728723693gotem
>>728758156the issue I have with that is the opposite problem, you skip all the random encounters between planets. although now that I think about it, this has been a problem for beth games since oblivion introduced fast travel. You do get encounters when you first enter a system I suppose.
>>728758156You're reminding me how much I fucking hated the Quest/Starchart menus in this game. So many clicks/menus.
