>>566185364A total eclipse of your heart
>>566185364>dead studioIf TES6 doesn't end up doing good and retain a decent modder/player base than yeah might be the end of Bethesda.
>>566187163Bethesda is a flagship company, so the most that's probably going to happen is a restructuring rather than a closure. It's highly doubtful that TES6 won't do gangbusters initially anyways though since people actually wanted that game over Starfield. The biggest issue is that if TES6 fails to live up to it's hype, it "might" affect the sales of Fallout 5, but Starfield doing decently on PS5 is a pretty good indicator that a lot of people don't even listen to the zeitgeist and will likely buy it on impulse. Brand loyalty and recognition is one hell of a drug.
>>566190842One thing that mildly chaps my ass is how clunky it is to use your social skills in combat. I almost never do it since I don't want to take the time to bring up the scanner, hold on the person, press the social button, then awkwardly select the one I want and engage. Would be nice if I could just bind them to number keys so I could tap a button to befuddle people
>>566187163TES6 will probably be fine, as long as they don't do something catastrophically retarded like forcing you to play a voiced redguard.
>>566189408>but Starfield doing decently on PS5 is a pretty good indicator that a lot of people don't even listen to the zeitgeistThere is a statistic that deals with online interaction of anything known as the 80%/20%/5% statistic. Basically, it says that -80% of people will NEVER go online to talk about/interact with products. Be it go to the official page, watch a YouTube video, leave a review, visit a wiki etc. etc.-20% will do it at least once-But only 5%(1/4 of the 20%) are so engaged that they will bother to post, or create contentThat 5% always skews massively towards a highly elitist/hardcore segment of a consumer base, and also largely skews twoard people who are negative.This 5% does not represent the common person, which is why online discourse rarely matches what happens in the real world. Ad its even worse in the gaming sphere where influencers have grown a culture of faked outrage toward almost everything.
>>566192229What do you have against Cyrus?
>>566192229>as long as they don't do something catastrophically retarded like forcing you to play a voiced redguardWhile Blackrock has stopped hammering ESG like it was 1-2 years ago that is still a possible threat, though Todd said they'll never be doing voiced protag again after FO4 but being forced to be a Redguard we'll see.
>>566192764That they'll never top that game's writing again
>>566192876>though Todd said they'll never be doing voiced protag again after FO4Oh good. I never saw that
>>566192454I feel like I teeter between both the 5% and 20%
>>566192764He's cool but that sort of thing belongs in spinoff titles, I wouldn't want character creation restricted in the main series.
>>566193728>I never saw thatI forget which interview it was but he said it was a mistake which is rare for him to admit a mistake so blatantly.
Going on dates with Andreja.
what is your character's story?
>>566196169He's just an average man with an average lifeHe works from nine to five, hey, hell, he pays the priceAll he wants is to be left alone in his average homeBut why does he always feel like he's in The Twilight Zone? And
>>566196169space trucker who's Narcissus was stolen while visiting a civilian outpost and joined up with Argos Extractors to save up money for a Watchdog
>>566196169He recently got a job as a miner for Argos that suddenly ended after pirates attacked he found opportunity in hand delivering a high value geological sample to a non profit organization dedicated to rather esoteric scientific pursuits where he now works as a guy who's just good at getting things done.
>>566196790kek
>>566196169I got enamored with the idea of a roguish 80's space action movie protag so came up with Johnny Chapetti the Neon Street Rat who worked his way out of the trap and left for good once his Ma died from illness. Spent some time doing Space Scoundrel shenanigans until he got into a little too hot water and got a Wanted bounty causing him to lose most of his stuff and ship/crew and so joined up with a remote mining company to lay low for a bit.
>>566193151Please be kidding
>>566199664If you don't recognize that game as Bethesda peak you're not worth engaging
>I'm workin HARD captain!
Sigh. Back to the game crashing every time I land somewhere. Now I'm just trying to land at Gagarin. I can mostly land other places no problem but Gagarin is instant crash.
>tfw /stag/ is somehow still more active than /fog/this would've been insane 2 months ago
>>566201898Just wait until the next fallout thing is out, haven't had anything halfway decent to play since fallout 4
>>566201898We just got fresh new content and players, and we got a really angry /v/ schizo coming in here to start shit. It'll probably be a good while before we slow down to that point again.
>>566201568Aaaand I guess boarding terran ships also crashes my game.. so.. my avenues for things to do are narrowing pretty quick.
>>566205412kek your game is fucked bro. go play something else
>>566205412What the fuck. Is this save game bloat?
>>566200874bricktastic
>>566208290No. He's just irresponsible with his mods
I wonder if other characters had text on their tablets and I never noticed until now
>>566216326I always noticed there was text but never realized they actually bothered to type up slates instead of gibberish
Starfield is the only 0/10 game in known history.
>>566217802I'm gonna be upset if Bethesda was selecting unique texts for each character reading a tablet and I missed it all until now. Sure, they're PROBABLY just the in-game books like that, but what if there's an easter egg somewhere?
>>566190842I have this mod and immidietly disabled it because it is nothing but 99% garbage taking up inventory space.>HERE'S THE SAM HELMET EXCEPT LIGHT, MEDIUM AND HEAVY AND 5 DIFFERENT LEVELS OF QUALITY AND AN SHIT TON OF NONSENSE APPAREL PARTS THAT LOOK ABSOLUTELY RETARDED AND YOU WILL NEVER USE!>THAT WILL BE $6...I thought I was going to get an interesting side story and got nothing but fucking metastasized inventory cancer.
>>566218683At least give me a cool helmet and armor set at the end that makes me look like Mr. Freeze from the 90's Batman movie instead of his bitch henchmen.
>>566201898Fallout fans are demoralized and mind broken and many have already joined the 41%.

>>566196169Parents were killed by pirates on a cargo run, leaving me to the streets of Neon.Wasn't easy but I climbed my way out and joined the Military. Earned my way to an special Anit-Spacers group. Things were good, until a Shiny new officer fell for the oldest trick in the book and embarrassed himself and the whole unit. Admiral Daddy covers it all up. Santizes all the records. Elite team of special forces? No no they're just a group of boxkickers from some station that only exists on paper. In fact we won't even accept their re-enlistment. Bounce around looking for work end up breaking rocks for Argos.Grabbing the shiny alien rock was NOT a prank the new guy bit.Heller hauled me to the med pod so I owe him one.Some weirdo in a rustbucket shows up, want me to go back to his place for "examination"Oops Pirates followed the dumbfuck and are landing over there. Training kicks in, set up kill lanes and exterminate the pirate filth.Now I'm to fly the rust bucket to New Atlantis and deliver the space rock.

Starfield is a top seller on playstation, beating a lot of games like Saros, Mouse PI, Hades 2 while sitting behind Pragmata and Crimson desert.

>>566196169ex-spacer who was part of a heist that killed most of his group, but he successfully stole some valuables and escaped. the target was immensely rich, had connections, and set a bounty game on him. whatever my character stole has been lost in a space battle, and it ended up with his ship damaged beyond repair, so he had to abandon it and lay low as a miner.

Holy shit /stag/ bros I'm finally back i'm bout to tear up it's been so wild to post in every thread and bump the general in its empty hours only to leave right before the update to avoid FOMOTwo questions, which character is most fit for Terran Armada?Is there a list of everything this update added and where to find it?>>566196169Remind me to answer this later I have 13 characters and I'm overwhelmed at the moment
Jesus fucking christ what now
>>566258647Now you have to load a save from before that happened.
>>566258647definitely seems like it might be time to reevaluate your load order and decide which mods you can live without
>>566258647How many mods do you have? Starfield will start to shit itself like this if there's too many formid records present, and it gets worse with each new major content Bethesda adds. Had to remove some of the bigger mods I barely interacted with to make room for others because of how much records they added that contributed to that problem.>>566259302The good news is that this usually corrects itself after rebooting the game, but until you take care of the problem I mentioned above, it will likely happen again like it was happening to me on Neon.
Most reliable achievement enabler? Baka will mark my saves with creations
Its mostly cosmetic stuff but I guess I should look at the heftier stuff... Only 124ish mods. Save file size is about 17kbIts annoying because the last time I went through the list, enabling and disabling stuff, the results were pretty inconclusive and I ended up rebuilding my ship and that seemed to help. So I think its something fucky with the mods that's causing this.Also, I use Vortex to sort the load order and that's generally always been helpful at fixing weird bugginess immediately.

When did this thread become tech support? Anon needs to fuck off to Reddit.
I'm not letting this shit stop me
>>566260562>Watchtower>Cryomancer>Stroud Premium Edition>Neon Vertigo>Falkland Systems>Perditus Fleets>Dark Universe TakeoverThese are probably the biggest mods in your load order. Maybe consider getting rid of one or two of them temporarily until Bethesda gets around to resolving this issue.
>>566261730>Maybe consider getting rid of one or two of them temporarily until Bethesda gets around to resolving this issue.Is this even an issue for them? I can't find many people having similar problems.I'm not actively using Stroud Premium, Perditus Fleet or Dark Universe. Hopefully getting rid of them will help.
>>566261730>until Bethesda gets around to resolving this issue.It's not going to be fixed, it would require a total overhaul of the way the engine handles and loads references and that's not gonna happen for Starfield. Maybe TES6 won't have the issue but it also likely won't run the same risk as Starfield does of hitting the reference handle capThe engine was not designed to handle so many references and Starfield, unmodded, by itself is already pushing the limits
>>566262147It's not the mods themselves that are the problem, it's that they largely add a ton of reference records that's pushing this game to a soft limit bug in the game's engine. You can't mod this game as heavily as you could with Skyrim or Fallout 4 right now because of ithttps://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/800092645914436575/
>>566263113Is that where the save game cleaner comes in? I don't really wanna do unity. I remember it saying it was for mods approaching 40kb but I'm less than half of that
>>566263912perhaps, but it's not going to save you long term because of the handle limit, it will just happen again until you pare down your load order
>>566262668They pretty much have to fix it if they themselves expect to support this game for 10 years. It's probably just a matter of 1 or 2 more DLCs and some official creation club content before this becomes an unavoidable problem that even affects console players and those who don't even mod their game.
>>566258490>which character is most fit for Terran Armada?The followers, whom I assume you’re referring to, have pretty bare bones dialogue. They only comment in the beginning of the questline, during dungeons, and after the finale. I’d say Barrett has like one or two more lines of dialogue than the other Constellation companions.>things addedINARA.cz has added new update items in their database
>>566264840>>566263113Does this mean cosmetic mods also push up against those limits?
>>566266734Barely. It's usually quests, ship parts, and new or upgraded world space mods that eats up a ton of the references.
>>566266963Not gonna lie, removing mods like Cryomancer that I fucking paid for because Bethesdas game that I also paid for is fundamentally unable to handle it kinda pisses me off a fair bit.
So far I like this Cruise mode. Seeing random encounters showing up with a notification sound is pretty nice and helpful. Although I wish they brought back real fuel, I really wanted that with dialogue encounters.
>>566268738You probably don't have to remove that one as I'm using that myself. If I were to recommend what mods to remove, I'd suggest Stroud Premium Edition since that mod can be pretty fucky when paired with other mods that adds stuff to New Atlantis, such as Falkland and Positively New Atlantis. Dark Universe Takeover might be a good one to remove too since it's POIs aren't really all that interesting imo.
>>566266963those are three types of mods i avoid, for starfield anyway. i've only got watchtower and tracker's alliance for quests, i am fully retarded so i dont bother with the shipbuilder and never use new/overhauled worldspaces because they are always jankier than god. i do use all of those rabbit light overhauls on nexus though, they are nice.
>>566277824Truth be told, I don't really mess around with modded ship parts either besides the ones added by HopeTech Hydroponics Habs and Graf's Habs - Nova Galactic 1x1s. The main reason I even bought Falkland and previously installed Stroud Premium was because I liked how those showrooms they added looked. I might put Falkland back in my load order some day after it gets that advertised update that plans to move the showroom into it's own spacestation.

>>566196169A combat medic and a dishonorably discharged UC veteran who was at the battle of Londonian and risked his life trying to save the life of his squadmate. But since he left trying to find help before the spaceport bombing, they arrested him under suspicious involvement with Vae Victis. and served his time until he was released and started his life over working as a miner with Argos. Conflicted with faith and beliefs in prison, he started to believe in the serpent's embrace and swore to never work for the UC again. But he started to lose faith after going to Dazrah himself and started to see how restrictive and dumb their religion is.
