At least we almost made it to 600 posts in the last thread
>>578962593Let's aim for 650 this time.
Starfield needs a Netflix series
>>578974535I'd rather it be on Amazon Prime since I'm already paying for that
>>578974702Amazon is also some how less of a fuck up than Netflix.
is it over
>>578987094Not until the fish jumps
>>578976406If its anywhere near the level of the Fallout show it would be great.
Looks like its dead Jim.
>boarding a Va'ruun ship to find some of it's inhabitants completely nakedlol, don't know what caused that
Looks like at least two new POIs I haven't seen before spawned. This one is from the Lost Light mod
>>579003703Not much to see in this one one though, time to go to the Meteorite Mine
I believe this place is vanilla
it's dead, jim
Did this guy kill himself?
>>579005645No, he died of cringe from that UI mod.
>>579011685what's wrong with it
>>579012259What's right with it?
>Todd hitting Skyrim twiceI can imagine how much people here are going to complain once Starfield has gotten all the content updates it's going to get
>>579015810With the way things are going Starfield probably wont get all the content its going ot get for awhile.Todd talked about wanting to support their games for much longer periods of time, implying they would do so for like a decade. He also implied a new DLC every year for that time frame, but its unlikely even if TES 6 is then ext Skyrim it would get that much DLC. Realistically, we could expect 4, maybe 5, DLC for a game, so about 5 years worth of content. With Starborn coming out next year, I could see Bethesda doing a big outpost focused DLC the year after that, as Starfield's last big DLC. So it will probably be year 5 by the time its done, which is how I expect TES6 and Fallout 5 to be as well.
>>579017974I anticipate at least one or two more major story expansions after the Starborn DLC, and then the rest of the content will come from smaller dlcs put in the Creation Club.
>>579024885I'm not even sure what you'd expect 2 more story xpacks to be about. We already got-House Va'ruun in Shattered Space-Colony war follow up in Terran Armada-Starborn/Unity/Creator stuff in StarbornThere isn't any other big open ended plots from the base game left to expand on.
>>579025405Could potentially include the following1. Renewed tensions between the UC, Freestar, and/or House Va'ruun2. Time travel to the past to experience the Colony War or the Serpent's Crusade3. A deep dive into the shading business dealings on Neon involving Bayu and the Seokugah Syndicate4. Something brand new to the game altogether
>>579027550*shady
>>579027550>1. Renewed tensions between the UC, Freestar, and/or House Va'ruunThis completely misses the point of the game that even Bethesda has talked about.>2. Time travel to the past to experience the Colony War or the Serpent's CrusadeThey've never done this, nor does this make sense as it would require basically an entire 2nd game's worth of assets and VA to do even remote justice.>3. A deep dive into the shading business dealings on Neon involving Bayu and the Seokugah SyndicateI mean, you basically do this in Neon anyway. Almost every side quest is about the corruption in Neon, and dealing with it in what ways you can.>4. Something brand new to the game altogetherSuch as?
>>579028553>They've never done thisThey have, but this was through the Fallout 3 DLC Project: Anchorage. If they were to do a similar setup in Starfield, the DLC would likely be a VR simulation instead of letting you muddy up time, and will focus on just one of the major battles, most likely the Battle of Niira. This would also allow the player the use of mechs and xenoweapons without violating the lore surrounding the Armistice in the present time.>Such as?Interacting with a sentient alien civilization living in an alternate dimension
>>579025405I think that's about the limit for cramming stuff into the standard universe, but they could always stop wasting the NG+ concept on Constellation gags and do more significant variants. Add a universe selector for convenience, shut off any conflicting questlines, then go nuts with some alternate timeline premise.>Bae Victis has taken over the UC, weaponized terrormorphs, and driven the FC to the brink. Help them bring down the tyrant, or help him snuff out the FC for good.>the council pulled a coup and Bayu now rules a corpo dystopian New Atlantis with an iron fist. Become his enforcer or fight the power.>oh shit Jinan wasn't a schizo retard, the warp aliens and their cultists are killing everyoneAnd so on. The variants would be very content sparse outside their questlines, but that's not really a problem when you can just shove their loot in the QED and hop to the next one.
>>579029238Anchorage was one, very small, battle sim, and widely considered the worst Fo3 DLC.
>>579029238While I would love to see the battle of nira, I remember that bgs cannot pull cinematic shit like that
Speaking of Indians, I wonder if it's possible to set up an AI bot in here to help keep us alive during the night while we sleep.
And now you become a polar bear
>>579048348I want to be a dragon.
PLEASE TODD HOWARD COME BAAAAAACK
I can see it now, Norman Reedus would be the perfect dusty
>>579062391It's gonna be a good while
Too close
>>579062734Neil deGrasse Tyson as Barrett
Cheated my way into being able to access the $5 million credit space mansion just to see what it looks like. It's looks pretty cool and I'm glad that it mostly comes prefurnished too. Gonna load back to the save I made before adding those funds and try to earn it naturally, just need $4 million more credits for it
>>579086376I only took four screenshots, but there is more to it
>>579086532
>>579086676Has a big tub in it, unfortunately you can't run the water in it. Hopefully modders like Downfall Nemesis will flesh this place out more
Seems like just about everyone is gone now. If anyone remaining wants to move this general to /vrpg/ so we don't have to frequently monitor it to prevent it from archiving, let me know. Otherwise I'll probably wait a while to make the topic here again if we archive.
>>579085304My pick for Sarah
I think I might re-install to test out the leaked DLSS 5, finally play both DLCs and see what mods there are.
>>579106460Still on a 3060ti, so I can't try it out myself
>>579048348
Phoneposting in the Starfield
BGS will push dlss 5 bs to Starfield instead of fixing performance isn't it?
>>579128664It will probably take a few more years of optimization patches to get this game's performance to maintain a consistency of at least 60fps. A lot of what's causing that issue is how the engine handle multiple assets at one time (you notice the performance drop off mostly in cities), along with the natural progression that leads to save bloat. Plus the game is CPU bound, a high end graphics card isn't going to do you much good if your CPU is too weak to handle loading all of those assets.

more layoffs are needed

Time to sleep
What do you guys get out of outposts/shipbuilding?seems like a hassle, the only content I enjoy is the quests and looting all the time
>>579173436I try to build something my starborn would live in.
>>579145501There are still brown people and women at the company.
Snow Elves in TES6?
>>579173436A customizable cozy place to call home and a place to escape to. Plus I have a thing for portable player homes
>>579183507You'll get tons of Redguard and Breton bunnies instead
>>579196615What is wrong with you?
>>579197273I'm a man
>>579183507If 6 has new playables I'd expect sea elves or reachmen before snow elves, but its probably going to be very by-the-book with the standard 10 races.
>>579196419Smokers are jokers.
>>579207065Now it's Reyn time!
Fuckin Ice cube over here
>>579214373I gotta say, today was a good day
We're going on a trip in our favorite fucking shit
>>579256915
>brand new universe>set up and decorated all my outposts with clutter>all questlines except Freestar Ranger started>made every ship I can think of building>abusing Jade Swan to get figures>not in the mood to finish any faction questsGuess I’m stuck in limbo
Toonami General has it rougher than us right now
>>579259828I can finish the main quest. In fact, it might be for the best, as I’m sure the Starborn DLC will have quests or outcomes that check if you did the mq or not. I’ll also finish Shattered Space and Terran Armada, for good measure.
>>579173436You clearly hate activating your neurons, you just want an endless reward loop.
How this stayed alive with no replies throughout most of the night is beyond me

We now have a mod that allows you to switch your vehicle on the fly instead of having to visit to a ship technician every time. Surprised it took this long for someone to make something like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOqHQuccYdYhttps://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/13466
>>579274191the game gives me no reason to, I do dabble in decoration mode like >>579188869 but only to organize things
>>579173436I like customized things so that's why I'm into shipbuildingI don't bother with outposts because they are a big step back from settlements that let you basically build your own cities and had a huge amount of roleplaying opportunities.
>>579306907Yeah, outpost building seems primarily designed for a factory tycoon experience, while the ship building and player home decorating is more so the hearthfire experience. If we ever get a L.I.S.T. dlc, that would be the ideal opportunity for building settlements.
iirc Starfields anniversary is coming up. So, whats happening with this game?
>>579310854Big stuff won't be dropping until next year, so expect to maybe get a smaller update patch to address some bugs, maybe some new official Creation Club content, some quality of life stuff, and/or a simple X/Twitter post acknowledging the anniversary with a bunch of random people bombarding it with 30% praise and 70% insults like they usually do with every other reply made on the official Starfield account.
>>579314604I'd rather we get free creation credits, whatever they come up with won't be better than mods
