Fair warning to anyone considering Starfield. The performance of this game is absolute crap. (hexbear.net)

It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.

It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It's a piece of crap.

Glad I didn't pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴‍☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.

I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I'm so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.

Starfield?

What's that?

The only Bethesda game I care about is Daggerfall 1996 for Windows 95

I've watched videos about it, especially the Unity port and I would love to see a modern take on that style and scale.

Apparently some of the Daggerfall guys are chipping away at a spiritual successor

The unity port is a delight imo and totally free.

The spiritual successor is called Wayward Realms and I think it's in the "pitching to investors" phase at the moment.

According to my buddy who won't shut up about daggerfall the engine re-make projects are in a really good place these days.

Yeah the remake in Unity is done.

One of the writers from the original game found out about the remake and wrote a bunch of free quests for it.

The modding community is active and the game is a big fun sandbox to play in.

I think the team is now moving on to a Morrowind Unity port but I'm not completely sure about that.
