Alright, lets see if we can keep this general alive this time. If it dies again, we honestly should wait for a new update from Bethesda and maybe make threads on /vrpg/ for the time being
Mass Effect’s clubs = Salty SpitoonStarfield’s clubs = Super Weenie Hut Jr.
Previous Unity cycle: >>551778525
>>553027089Whoops, I forgot to include that in the OP
Is there any credence whatsoever to Starfield 2.0 rumors? And can it even possibly deal with fundamental problems about emptiness, repetition, etc.?
>>553027513I'm honestly expecting it to be more of a 1.5 than a 2.0. Expect improvements on some core systems, but nothing very mindblowing
Good news, someone is working on trying to get NAF and Custom Command Framework working on the newer versions so we can all finally upgrade!
Thread might be a bit more shitposty than normal since some tourists from /v/ might not like that we're back after they 'killed' us
>>553028312I honestly expect as much, but at least we'll be containing them in here. Main reason I started a new topic is because those shitposters were spreading to the other generals, though I also started to miss being in here too.
>>553027764>but nothing very mindblowingThis is what I'm expecting. People complain about repeat dungeons, planets with nothing noteworthy, loading screens, cities having barely anything worth interacting with... Stuff that I don't think any overhaul could reasonably fix.
>>553029372I expect loading screens to be minimized based on the rumors we've been getting, but not eliminated completely. More POIs thrown into the mix is expected too
Seems like people are starting to get back into this game thanks to Star Wars Genesis
>>553028298who
>>553036560Look in the NAF comments section
>>553036656What about the real time patcher?
>>553037316No one seems to have tried to pick that one up yet, so it's probably safe to say that it's completely dead as it's author hasn't even been seen since 2024 (likely dead or at war in the Ukraine due to being a Russian).
what the fuck why lmao
gothtroon has forsaken us
>>553039336lol that thread turned into a criticism of /vg/ as a whole
I don't think our ships can survive the combat in some of the more popular Sci-fi environments like Star Wars, Star Trek and Star Fox.
>>553039760who's gothtroon
Seeing this thread revived, I was inspired to reinstall and play Starfield.It's still shit
Is there a reason why people are acting like the Star Wars Genesis mod is brand a brand new thing that just came out of the blue? We've known about it and seen this for a while now.
>>553052301You could have no asked this question and let the thread die, thus allowing the funniest thing to happen
>>553026789Surprised you remade it already desu
>>553052301Because some youtuber made a video on it
/v/ literally celebrated the death of this thread. Come one guys, its over.
>>553052301Hate for this game was so strong that a lot of people were virtually out of the loop about what's been going on in the modding scene this entire time. Exacerbated by people who kept saying modding was dead for this game.>>553052594Don't worry, I probably would have made another thread anyway if somebody else doesn't do it. Apparently this general needs to exist right now because the cancer we have to deal with in here spreads to the other generals>>553052692This is honestly the first time I've ever made a thread on this board. I was waiting for the usual guy(s) to do it instead (and I would have waited until the Xbox Dev showcase later this month to make one if he didn't), but see the reason above.
>>553027513I don't know about "2.0" but we're certainly getting another update at some point and probably a ps5 release as well
>>553034510Does it actually make the game better or is everyone just wowed by the star wars coat of paint?
>>553054845The Star Wars coat of paint. I've watched 3 videos on this modpack and people actually claim they are playing a radically different game that "changed everything about Starfield" and was the game "we were waiting for" when you're literally going through the same quests as base Starfield. Even the ship combat looks the same and one person said they fixed the ship combat. It just has Star Wars armor, weapons and Star Wars friendly dialogue options. That said, they do have some nice locations they built, but we've also seen mods that add new locations before, so not even that is new. It just shows "Starfield is rotten to the core and unfixable" was a bunch of horseshit for engagement and clicks. Just in time for the PS5 release too...
>>553054845From what I looked up, it does revamp a lot of things including the core gameplay systems. I don't really use Star Wars Genesis though as I treat the Star Wars mods I install as an add on to Starfield rather than a total conversion, so I can't confirm how drastically it changes the game if you decide to install the entire thing.
>>553055815That checks out.
>>553026621Holy shit I missed you /stag/gers so much you don't know how lonely it felt without you
2.0 when?
>>553057861*ahem* two more weeks
>>553046252They are way too fantastical. Starfield *feels* realistic, I'm sure it's not but hearing the metals clanking and the ships being slow to maneuver really sells that grounded space fantasy
>>553028612Oh come on my /stag/ posts were the most interesting thing happening in that /tesg/ thread
Modders have done it again, they saved another bethesda game.
>>553063814"""saved""" all it tells me is the market being extremely hungry for an open star wars game that doesn't exist. Outlaws? yeah no
>>553055843Post thicc twilek slut
>>553065534lol
hey stag, nice to see you alivei started modding again over the holidays and polishing some old WIPS but my pc got killed and the data mite be lost foreveroh well
One more bump from me for the night. If this topic dies again, there might not be enough people posting in it during European hours. In which case, we probably should do what the anon from the previous thread said and move to /vrpg/ for a while since that board is much slower.
This gen needs to stay dead.
>bethesda specifically hires someone to clutter up the environments>remove the ability to break down any of these items into crafting materials>modders then make mods that remove all the useless clutter itemsamazing stuffbethesda is the master of "one step forward, two steps back"
>>553066110comeon man, https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/7901
>>553066321Sorry for that>>553073234I just woke up
>>553076106What's the point of all these planets if you could just recycle every piece of junk
You're back again? Good, I can't play the game because of my shit toaster but it's nice to see you're not letting /v/'s retardation win.
Focus, Stag.
they really should have made zero g combat full 6dof like ship combat
/stag/ was murdered by whichever cunt at bethesda decided to make all the companions complete trash in the era of waifu parasocial dating sim rpgs. Even the threesome end can't save a game when both girls are 30+ hags that speak like retarded kids
>>553026621Any really good sex mods yet
>>553098502Gergal Ebanex is the best one we have so far. Keep in mind however that you'll have to downgrade your game to use it because it relies on an animation framework that hasn't been updated yet.https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14425
>>553098462/stag/ was murdered by the idiots at bethesda that made a game where there's only humans.Where's the alien sluts? It's a big reason why SW / Mass Effect remain popular with coomers.
>>553098462I actually enjoy Starfield for opting to make their companions relatively generic yet three dimensional rather than having wish fulfillment companions meant to distract you from the real world. The latter is the much popular option so not a lot of games would try to attempt the former.
Is there a way to fuck over both CF and SysDef in the crimson fleet quest line?
>>553099668https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14225
>>553099949>modsThat's a deep rabbit hole I'd rather not go intoThanks anyways
>>553098462I think Alan Nanes was the lead companion designer for Fallout 4 and Starfield. No idea how he went from Curie and Valentine to Sarah and Barrett
>>553102116>design characters>your new corporate boss hands them over to his team of h1bs to make them brown and gay before they're approved for production>you have no say in this because everything you make is a corporate property
Seeing as Fallout 4 had power armour, why didn't they put anything like that in Starfield?Could have had a proper space hulk feel, boarding empty, dead ships in your powersuit. Seems like a missed opportunity.
>>553104852>Seems like a missed opportunityThat's Bethesda in a nutshell. We didn't even get the robot customization that fallout 4 implemented.
>>553098462The romance in Starfield is honestly better written and more involved compared to past Bethesda games, however the Constellation companions not being interesting people is the result of people having a distaste for how high everyone's morals are, though it sort of makes sense considering the environment that they're part of. A mix of high morals, moral ambiguity and the lack of morals is what makes Elder Scrolls and Fallout companions interesting and diverse, and that's the result of the hectic, very violent worlds that they grew up in that often requires you to throw your morals out the window. But we're basically comparing The Walking Dead to Friends here as Starfield's companions grew up in a world that's considered our future, a world where bandits and creatures aren't as big of a threat to those who tend to live in the more secure cities like New Atlantis. That leads to a much higher sense of morality that reflects in people who grow up in the 1st world nations of the real world, but this also leads to those companions feeling too similar to each other as well. Andreja stands out as she leans more towards moral ambiguity, but she still has pretty high morality herself. What this game needs at the end of the day is romanceable companions with proper moral ambiguity and little to no morals at. Some of the non-Constellation companions like Jessamine and Mathias sort of matches this, but you can't romance them.
Looks like Starfield will not be at this month's developer direct. Don't know if Bethesda genuinely has a really big update planned for this game or if there's problems with trying to update it. Hopefully it won't be getting constant delays like GTA 6.
>>553107762It's starover
>>553107762I'm surprised Playground is having two showcases at once. I know Forza H is basically a repackaged game at this point but still.
>>553107762Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is meddling and telling them to cut their losses on Starfield to get TES6 out now now NOW so that number go up
>>553099605You can give a character depth and rough edges without making them repulsive/annoying to the vast majority of your audience. Doing that four times over, making them the only feature-complete companions and the core faction that the player is railroaded into joining was just not a good idea. Its like if KOTOR's entire roster was Carth in different wigs.>>553107312The romance mechanics are better, but that's a separate matter from Constellation's characterization.
>>553108550>repulsive/annoying to the vast majority of your audienceCompanions shouldn't suck your dick all the time. This is what Bethesda has been rightfully criticized for yet they didn't realize the people who criticized that don't make up the majority.
If starfield 2.0 or the next dlc doesn't expand on the other non-con (heh) companions or at least introduce some new full ones then the game will stay dead
>>553107312Them being an adventurer's club funded by a rich businessman was a bad idea.
>>553109091It is an interesting one however aren't you tired of the same generic backgrounds where your companions suffered more than you are able to experience in story? I know I am
>My life is hard boss.. you made it soft however and for that my bussy is yours! Thanks, Gaige, Preston, Danse, Hancock, Deacon, Macready, Strong (jk)They say constellation companions are similar but these have the same backstory with different colors
>>553109227If they were all naive upper-class socialites with fantasy ideals, then you had to introduce them to the harsh reality of life outside the capital, that could have been fun.The player had a grim life, they had a good one.
>>553110395Too grim sad for bethesdas optimistic space exploration sim. no edge allowed.
>>553026621>check on tk for tv show giggles>he's unironically playing starfield atmweird
>>553108857I didn't say they should. Companions being able to push back is good, the problem is that they all generally push back in the same ways, making it feel less like fleshed out characters with their own morals and more like the writer nagging the shit out of you for playing incorrectly.
>>553110395That's where you're wrong. They have varying levels of naivety. Sarah seems like the most seasoned one of the bunch with a very strong moral compass hence "Sarah hated that" meme I also liked how you could call out Sam for being "I hate my rich family" cliche. Sam in general is the most understanding companion, you can call him out on his behavior multiple times and he won't take it as an insult. Barrrett's writing is the worst and not for the reasons people come up with. They'll say it's because he's a black gay scientist but that's just a surface level analysis that could be interpreted as bigotry. Barrett sucks because there's little to no dialogue where you could stand up against him, he's always treated in the right and he's pretty arrogant about it. Barrett is only called out by other NPCs in quests that are probably written by different writers (like the funeral)
>>553115591And his sense of humor, where is it coming from actually? self-amusement or a coping mechanism where taking things seriously might open up old wounds?Emil gets harsh criticism by the fans, but I know he wouldn't be as tone deaf as Barrett's writer. His Sysdef characters were pretty good in fact, as far as Bethesda standards go.
>>553115591I wish I could call Sam out for him dragging Cora around in a way that would actually matter. Like have him find his own ride if he wants to go somewhere and can't leave her behind.
Can't for the life of me figure what's displaying that green fps counter at the top left of the screen. Seems like it's only Starfield displaying it
>>553116486ZAMN
You fixed your thread bump bot I see. Was the new Captcha too much for it?
thanks for the bump, /v/ermin piece of shit
>>553119197No, he was busy straight doin' your mom, doin' doin' your mom
>>553083958make scrapping give a small amount of resources and increase the amount you receive from seeking out the ore's on planets
yep, we're definitely getting a 2.0 update with significant work done under the engine's hood.
Lossless Scaling seems to be the more ideal method of getting better performance in Starfield on weaker hardware compared to the built in frame gen solutions. Just cap the game's framerate to 30fps and use the 2x multiplayer. Getting more frames in New Atlantis than I was while using FSR3 with my 3060ti
>>553120746english doc
>>553122558You can use the Lossless Scaling program to achieve better fps in this game
>>553120596>not at the xbox dev directNothing is happening. Nothing ever happens
>>553128517It's the secret game
>>553130125Starfield dlc being the secret game is akin to Highguard being the last reveal at the game awards
Yeah, I think the Xbox Advanced Technology Group is making more major improvements to the engine. This is what Todd said about them at launch.
Been playing through Mass Effect and now I have the itch to play this piece of shit again. Who has the updated Creations files? I've got to make sure all my mods are up to date.
>>553134987Check CS rin ru
genuinely who on the dev team decided the player needs to do the exact same temple 240 times to unlock all the powers
Why can't we get actual leakers on 4chins anymore, please just confirm if at least 1 thing on those rumours is true or not...
>>553120596Prove it
>>553108857Reminder that people just get mad because a group companion scientists dont like you shooting civilians or killing guards for no reason, just play fucking skyrim at that point and you can have braindead followers
>>553140795>Reminder that people just get mad because a group companion scientists dont like youPeople were mad because they were the only options for full companions you stupid fucking troglodyte
starfield needs a tv show then everyone will be saying it was amazing all along
>>553140056Every Starfield influencer on twitter said they did a private showcase but they signed an NDA where they can only talk about the showcase happening without any details
>>553146031so basically nobody has the balls to leak
>>553146031>show new exciting stuff to select few people months in advance>don't let them tell reveal anything about itWhat's the fucking point
>>553149043To generate hype
>>553140795Real problem is that Constipation is more like a joinable guild and should have been optional.
Don't fucking download the Elite Dangerous ship mod. Fucking thing is cursed. Riddled with bugs, and if you ever date try to uninstall it mid playthrough, your saves are FUCKED. Even if you try to reinstall it, that save is gone. Forever. You have been warned.
>>553107312Wrong. Romances were actually done the best (relatively, this is all relative) in Fallout 4. Characters in 4 actually, on rare occasion, referred to you as the correct gendered pronoun instead of the clinical, sterilized, safe-for-all-so-no-one-gets-offended "they," "you," generic relative pronoun garbage. Don't even get me started on Andreja's >Ah, my favorite person. Like a fucking Terminator from the future wrote this dialogue. >Hello, human companion who I am in love with. Would you like to copulate this evening? >>553115591Sarah is actually the worst written. The way you described Barret is literally the way Sarah is written, only 100x worse.
>>553146031>Starfield influencer Those exist?
>>553157895>I can't believe you would rather bring back a species of fauna that has been empirically proven to wipe out swathes of terrormorphs with no calculable risk to humans whatsoever rather than risk everything on a potentially dangerous man-made microbe (weaponized bioweapons are kind of why we joined this whole fight to begin with you blonde trollop) all for the sake of a knee-jerk reaction from finding out heat leeches are terrormorphs! DON'T YOU TRUST THE SCIENCE THE DUMB, SHITLORD?>I also can't believe you don't want to genocide an entire genus (family? species?) of flora just to cull another species out of existence. I know I am a botanist, and that goes everything against science and ecosystems and the balance of mother nature, but I would rather bet everything on man-made microbes! YOU RETARDED STARBORN BIGOT. >Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going back to munch on some more Aja carpet!
>>553157895Pretty sure they referred to me as he/him in Starfield on several occasions, but I would guess proper usage is likely inconsistent in some places due to time constraints. From what I looked up, it's apparently more of a problem in the DLC than it is in the base game.
>>553156408What hype, nobody's saying anything worth being hyped aboutIf anything it'll be just another round of people imagining god knows what about the game then getting utterly disappointed when it fails to live up to their expectations and joining the ranks of haters
>>553162893It did successfully generate hype in the short term combined with the other things that were getting people antsy. Bethesda claimed (lied) that exciting things were coming that year, the last window to do anything before holiday vacations was approaching, mysterious steam updates were happening, and then influencers started piping up about seeing cool stuff.But seems like most of that hype will be gone by the time they actually drop it.
Doin' it with Marika in my Rev-8
>>553158008Mixed with a couple of journalists but yeah the Starfield community is strong on twitter
>>553149043To gather feedback.
where the fuck is terran armada
>>553166606delayed. also the entire industry doesn't know what the fuck to do with the GTA VI situation
>>553165325>the Starfield community is strong on twitter
>>553173971Someone is jealous
>>553173006gta 6 situation?
>>553157282then you have no game
>>553157895Sarah gives and takes. In fact she remembers old conversations and discuss your opinions on what matters. That alone puts her way above Barrett, it's up to you if you like her personality or not.
>>553139135Todd
>>553176130Well, yes, the main quest would have to be thoroughly rewritten, but it's not like what we got is really worth keeping.
>>553139135The question is, why are you willingly choosing to go through the 240 temples? It's like seeing a warning sign before entering a cave yet you willingly entered it and now you're stuck with piss and shit in your face dying in the middle of nowhere
>>553175686GTA VI is rumored to not even be content finished yet, which means GTA VI might not come out until 2027 at the earliest. That's just a rumor though and nothing was confirmed by Rockstarr, so everyone still thinks it's releasing sometime this year. Everyone also knows that releasing your game in the same window as GTA VI means your game will get drowned out and skipped over so you stunt sales immediately. If you plan on actually wanting people to not only play your game but know it exists in the first place, you want to stay as far away from GTA VI's release date since that is damn near guaranteed to be the best selling game of the year and potentially of generation 10 in record time.
>>553175686being a fucking huge release, the industry wants to plan around it and get out of its way. and no one really knows now how to because the game has had set release dates, and then delayed twice, and now rumors are swirling there may be another delay. no one knows when it will be 100% safe to release their own shit now
>Not on january xbox showcaseHow the fuck
>biggest shot in the arm this game will ever see of a starwars reskin >thread falls off the board So the answer to >>552480448 is wabback is it's only install method and wabback is made by faggots. Faggots very mad top men at RPG HQ unfucked their coomer mod batch installer for only official copies piracy is wrong bro. The drag and drop for the Starwars Genesis importer justworks and plugs away auto clicking manual download at that 3mb/s of not paying nexus for the free bandwidth. If >(you) too don't have the registry file and app manifest for the game where steam says it's supposed to be due to isolating it so Todd can't break your mods (or take $70 out of your pocket) "wabbajack: specifiable game directory" is your solution.
>>553055815>sarwars genesis general The fact bethesda didn't pay the license for auto lipsync and all the revoiced NPCs having blank unmovable faces in all mods but especially this one is something that will never stop biting Todd in the ass. The performance requirements to keep coruscants set dressing from crashing your PC is something the genesis guy needs to tackle. Games use functionally matte paintings to simulate depth, not infinite draw distance 8k textured 3D models for a reason. If he tackled performance instead of lightsabers by putting a big dome texture around new atlantis more people would actually play it. It seems like the 80gig pagefile and need for 8gigs of vram to play on low with dlss performance is entirely because of the cities being made out of rendered objects. Most everything else is just the stolen game assets from fortnite and starwars battlefront that people have had no problem playing with since launch. It's a big ask for getting an improved kill and collect gameplay loop to need a midlevel gaming rig for "potato mode" as he calls it.
>>553191260Lipsync tech was added to Starfield's Creation Kit back in November 2024, sounds like the mods you're using need to be updated
>>553191641well it's not in starwars genesis. Because they didn't license the actual software they'd used since the gamebryo days which justworked and didn't require rigging every NPC in existence if you modify a dialogue line.
Sarah needs to lip sync her mouth

What are your reasonable expectations for the 2.0 update? And what are some things you want but dare not hope are in 2.0?
>>553245462Update Expectations: -Interplanetary Travel-Reduced (Not Completely Eliminated) Loading Screens-Some combat tweaks-Some bug fixes-Some performance tweaks-Some POI tweaks-NPC conversation animation tweaks-New land vehicleTerran Armada Expectations:-New enemy faction-Mid space travel ambush-New gear and ship parts-Potential Earth involvementWishful Thinking:-Pilotable Mechs-NPCs operating land vehicles-New Starborn powers-CK animation tools
>>553048098>he doesn't know
>>553247285what?
>>553246456>-NPCs operating land vehiclesThat'd be cool. Even if only on special roads or whatever
kinda wish they would scrap the main quest and expand all the factions instead
>>553245462Hopefully>more POI’s and space station dungeons>new (interesting) companions who’s personality is a little more dynamic>more fun outposts and settlement system>more dynamic radiant quests>being able to delete landing pointsWhat it will probably be>replace the picture loading screen with passing through clouds loading screen (retards will celebrate this)>new vehicles>ship building changes>some free creation club stuff>a few new quests with some nice set piecesThe only thing out of the above I wouldn’t be actively happy about is the loading screen one.
I'm hoping in 2.0 update they smooth out settlement and ship build customization. Hoping for combat mechanic fix too.
Would like to retire and start a scrapping business plathrough. Sucks ass when you can't scrap shitty items though.
>>553257607Wanna be a baller shot caller
I don't think anything is actually going to improve.
>>553263336Nothing le ever happens!
>>553263498what
>creator so anal retentive about performance acts like game is unplayable without a monster rig >it runs literally just as well as starfield does >is actually good I now understand the pogfacing. I played too many hours of box starfield just killing things because the quest is bad and the 1:1 damage scaling of genesis and weapon/gear variety makes killing things a lot better. One long tough fight and you just have decent gear to go on and collect more. new Atlantis feels like a massive maze of a city instead of just fucking annoying to transverse

>>553120596it still won't make the game good
why did starfield only have 4 full companions but fallout 4 has like 15?
>>553298473They ran out of ideas for "bland gen x liberal" companion types
>>553299482divorced dad, single 40s woman, gay black man?
>>553298473The Constellation companions have a much deeper involvement in the narrative, side content, and in their interactions with the player when compared to Fallout 4's companions. Probably would have been more expensive and tedious to record and integrate lines for more characters just to have them comment on every single occasion like the Constellation companions do, which is why the lesser named crew makes more sense here as a lite alternative to what F4 has to offer. But you probably care more about romancing them anyway.
Todd snorting cocaine while listening to the Valentino Combat Theme and scrolling Artstation
And the thing is they were almost there, Kaiser was a design that could've been carried throughout the game in other aspects instead of whatever they were thinking with the Astral Lounge dancers
>>553300942The robots designer left early in 2021 not sure what happened in that year, a good amount of artists left. Crunch? Microsoft? who knows. Regardless, that artist is the one who made every robot in Fallout 4 and Automatron DLC. He also conceptualized the vehicle and provided a playable demo for it before they added it with an update.
>>553304462I guess that might explain some of the inconsistencies with the art direction
The comforting feeling of knowing you can just hop in your ship and leave a potentially doomed world for a better one. Starfield could use more escape scenarios with a premise like the movie 2012.
>>553028298Just in time for the next update to come out and completely negate all that work!
>>553245462Reasonable:-interplanet travel this seems basically confirmed-DLC that ties the story up with constellation's founder-some new vehicles, weapons, POI, stuffDare to dream:-completing the DLC brings to you a 'starborn' room like in 2001: A Space Odyssey that allows you to carry gear, items, ships over to NG+-much more fleshed out outpost/city building/LIST expansion-more variations for NG+ universes-new companions

>>553310452more people bad
>>553317608It's funny, they criticize Bethesda for not catching up with other AAA studios and then the devs themselves say having a smaller team is fineThis also brings me back to how Bethesda haters were clinging to the made up cope about the lack of design documents Starfield is the opposite of that, whereas their older games like Skyrim, things were much more loose
Wake up
>>553326124I'm woke
>>553307060>-new companionsOne is fine as long as they're on Constellation level when it comes to depth. The problem is that DLC companions never interact with main quests, in Beth games at least.
It's down
they got rid of loading screens btw. or rather, xbox advanced technology group got rid of the loading screens.
The loading screens never bothered me and I'm kinda sad it's become such a big point of contention because Bethesda can just trim those down and claim an easy win rather than addressing actual issues with the game itself.
>>553298473the constellation companions have unique dialogue for every unique quest (and some have unique dialogue options that can change how quests go) on top of having very dedicated personal quests. for instance, when you go through the little museum to learn the the history of the united colonies, all the companions will have very different things to say during the presentation.
>The planet transitions are just a cut to white/space zoomie animation before flashing to planet surface>You have to pay for this update
>>553300942>Astral Lounge dancersthe dance is lame because they didn't hire actual dancers to do the mo cap and just had some people in the studio doing the dances as place holders they never got around to replacing.
>>553340803>when you sprint through museum punching the buttons because you've already been there a dozen times before
They added all these things in relatively short amount of time, the upcoming update will be BIG.
>>553341618Ahh It's so big.. 16 times bigger than fallout 4
>>553341618>ship interior customization>still can't place doors where I want
>>553245462Pilotable Mecha
>they showed the update to all the influencers and journos that constantly shit on them instead of the fans...
i don't care about loading screens, todd. please just let us adjust boobs/waist/butt in the character creator. we can make a truly fatass character but can't make a character thin with big boobs. the tech is already implemented in the game.please, todd, please.
>>553351251This. I want a bigger butt.
>>553351251I just want to paint my spacesuit, like I can my space ship.
heh, bg3 lawst
>>553353484That requires a complete rework of how clothes work Maybe in TEZ 6
>>553349851Don't worry bro, we'll get to see what they're cooking up when they finally announce it 7 months from now
>>553356075I could choose the color for the clothes I bought in Saints Row 2, which came out in 2008. I could also be thin or fat and choose from a dozen walking animations.That CAC games made almsot 20 years later don't allow that level of freedom is insulting.
>>553356075There's already a (completely useless right now) skin functionality in the game, just needs a bit of update
>>553359301Speaking of skin, somebody needs to figure out how to convert the Robert S male body's genitals to a vanilla skin type so it doesn't clash with modded outfits
>>553353873wotcv is such a dogshit company to work with that larian would literally rather not just print money with a bg3 dlc
>>553359301The skin functionality requires new textures made manually for each color
>>553383318Ships don't have any issues with being recolored in real time, no reason space suits should
>>553353873Sadly a game not having all of it's plans met is a real risk when it's too ambitious for what your funds and/or man power would allow, even if it was a break out hit. You see this with Cyberpunk 2077 and Baulder's Gate 3's planned DLCs, and Advent Rising and Psi-Ops' planned sequels. As least those games didn't cause their companies to go under like Saints Row and Concord did.
>>553340917This is cope, it was intended to be this goofy
>>553297375Where is all the tech, Todd? Why did you tease mechs and just use them as props? Why does the Colony Ship use the same tech as current ships when they left before earth died?
>>553116486Figured it out, it was being displayed by ReShade. Must have turned it on and forgot all about it. lol
Saw this thread got revived. Did they fix the game yet?
Thought that guy was naked at first
>>553392978Haha wow great game anon
>>553391254they have mech graveyards and mech scrappers but didn't include one mission to let you pilot oneeven if it was a set piece moment like liberty prime
Not sure if the covenant mod adds wandering npcs by default or if this was done by one of the grindterra mods
>>553394482Transformers would make this game so much fucking cooler
>>553395082Starfield's setting is so lame damn near anything would make it cooler.
>>553394482Mechas are highly illegal, please understand
>>553400412so what is stopping the pirates or spacers from using them?
>>553400538Lack of military grade parts and the knowledge to fabricate them or use them to repair the mechs to get them working, and that information is locked away in the Armistice Archives. We also learn from repairing Kaiser in particular that some stuff is hard to come by without military clearance
>>553400538Todd HowardSeriously, the fact that it would make both UC and FC so butthurt that they would easily forget their mutual disagreements just to hunt you down.
>>553390483The way ships work is completely different from clothes, again they need a complete rework
what if they rename it shagfield and you play as austin powers
>>553401864You would also presumably need specialized ships to haul the fuckers around, and there's the question of why they'd even want them when the vast majority of their operations are scavenging old sites, space piracy, and terrorizing isolated colonists. Bringing out a mech would make any colonist surrender, sure, but any crew big enough to field one could probably do that with numbers alone anyway.Of course, having plausible in-universe excuses doesn't excuse Bethesda writing the universe that way in the first place. They could have also made a setting where power armor and mechs were more commonplace or even necessary to survive on certain planets.
>>553403960The Sarah who shagged me
>>553403308Lol no they don'tIt's just a texture either way
>>553405567Ships also store their build, color values and furniture You're oversimplfiying it
>>553407752Nothing stops them from adding the color values for clothing as well. Yes this will take some work but it's far from a complete rework
>>553409625Storing them on the save file is where it becomes an issue and Starfield already suffers from massive save bloat
>playing Saints Row 2 for a little bit>literally come across a sign on the side of a building that says sarsfieldlol damn it /v/. Got a good chuckle out of that shit too.
>Have sex with Sarah >Gets a debuff caused by ass pain?????
>>553425124You rolled a futanari universe
Donnie
>>553416738why aren't you playing starfield?
They needed more POIs, sure, but also to make them make sense next to eachother. Planets with trees and animals recieve more farm POIs, which lead to more pirate POIs, and more animal-filled cave POIs. Mech Graveyards within spitting distance of a Spacer camp that's scavenging it, a Freestar outpost thats keeping an eye on it, etc etc.

WAKE UP AAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>553482541I can't wake up
>>553349851They need those influencers and journos to change their opinions on the game so they get more custom- I mean more fans
What do you think of NG+?
>>553488809I've never done it. Total starborn death.
>>553490593
>no comets>no black holes>no stars that can fuck you up Its so tiresome
>>553055843A question, though. Does Sy sing Lapti Nek?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfyLDh_Ea3w
>>553491716Since Starfield is trying to be realistic, not having black holes remotely close to a habitable star system to be visible to the naked eye makes sense, and you don't want those to be too close to a star system and cause gravitational havoc. Though if interplanetary travel becomes a thing like the leaks implies, we might be able to come across black holes as a hazard. And I'm assuming you meant supernovas and solar flares when you say stars. While the Starborn do get a power to generate a smaller scale, localized supernova, actual supernovas would take thousands to millions of years to occur, probably not even within this game's future time frame. Random solar flare events could definitely be a thing though, potentially knocking out your ship's power. Comets and meteor showers should also be a thing in this game
>>553495917>Since Starfield is trying to be realisticStopped reading here.Starfield literally has farms on planets that don't grow plants and the fucking unity. Fuck you.
>>553488809Wasted potential.Virtually zero new content, power upgrades are useless, starborn ship is retarded, starborn suit is garbage. The game doesn't offer anything valuable enough in exchange for reset.
>>553496081That autistic nigga who asks what they eat unironically
>>553488809Storywise multiverses wore out their welcome years ago, but having a built in save cleaner mechanic is nice. I just wish they'd accounted for it more when designing the rest of the game. It could allow for Morrowind levels of freedom to fuck the world up and Todd's philosophy of keeping it possible to do everything on one character to coexist, but we still got essential flags everywhere and no mutually exclusive factions unless you count sysdef/cf.
Somewhere out there is fan art of The Hunter flirting with someone's female Spacefarer.
>>553509819Todd would actually win if this big not happening cyberpunk2.0 engoodening was just removing essential flags from characters and adding a fallback quest path for getting the space rocks. Nothing actually would change about the game at all but a lack of motivation if you shot barret, stole his ship, shot everyone at constellation, went to the eye and shot vladmir, then pressed E on a console to receive the next rock location whether it be shooting a guy with a briefcase or blowing up a space eccentric or going in a cave. And that problem of motivation could be solved by having the badguy tell you to find the rest of the rocks as the games yesman. The story quests and their characters drag down the game heavily. As shit and unplayably boring as Outer worlds 2 was, the one thing that got me past the first planet was being able to shoot your my to forward progression instead of being forced to interact with "so that just happened" reddit writing any longer than I could stomach. Coming back to starfield it is fun in the same way fallout4 and 76 are fun, but then forward game progression demands you enter a long, poorly made scripted interaction and all fun is sucked out of your sarborn.
lmao
