Starfield

There is a modded Low ini available on Nexusmods that helps on Steamdeck. Hope that the performance gets better over time though.

Fair enough. I'm the kind of madlad that really enjoyed Fallout 4, although not as much as previous titles. I'd say this one beats FO4.

Absolutely, if you don't want to play another standard Bethesda open world game, stay far away, but if you do you'll enjoy this one.

Bethesda Something Games I think

My issue with it is that it really doesn't feel like morrowind in space to me. Morrowind had some interesting environments, and most places you found had some environmental storytelling going on. I loved morrowind because exploring felt interesting (but combat was bad)

Here I'm finding the environments uninteresting, with a few exceptions there seems to be little in the way of environmental storytelling and exploration doesn't seem that compelling. I'm enjoying the combat more than the exploration, which is unexpected for a Bethesda game. It feels like they've gone for quantity over quality with environments, and things are so far apart in fairly uninteresting planets that I feel like it's just a bit of a chore.

Maybe I've just been unlucky with the world's I've explored, and I'm enjoying it enough to keep playing a bit more in the hope it improves, but so far, it's not what I was hoping for.

This is what I was scared of. They are just repackaging the same game over and over. Oblivion, Fallout 3 & 4, Skyrim... It's a joke.

I'm sure the caves in Oblivion that became the caves in Fallout are also the same caves in Starfield. Even if the game didn't have planets they'd have put these caves in the game.

That’s exactly the kind of bug I’ve come to expect from their games. It’s usually a couple of patches in where they figure out that you bumping into your companion should get them to move, or you having the ability to tell your companion to move.

I couldn’t count the thousands of hours I’ve logged on Bethesda games, but they’re the reason I have 200 gigs of save files every time I play an RPG.

Doesn’t unofficial Linux support seem likely seem likely? Though I’ve heard it only works well with AMD GPUs on Linux, is that right?

runs on linux thru steam with proton experimental :D

I'm loving the game, about 18 hrs in. A lot of the complaints are a positive to the right people like system tutorials are "hey this exists, have fun" rather than making you sit through long explanations, you can ignore tons of content if you want. Don't want to do outposts that's fine buy or mine yourself, don't wanna build a ship buy a premade. The game is a Bethesda RPG with a lot of area separate from the main quest, if you wanna explore there's 1000 planets, if not there's a handful of really cool ones the quests lead you to.

Performance wise she's a hungry game. I'm at recommended and I get 50-70 fps, 1080p, medium settings, FSR 2 for most spots. Even when it dips into the 30s I only notice because I have an overlay counter. Few minor bugs and hiccups. If you liked Elder Scrolls or Fallout check it out. Some people will love it for years to come, others will hate it with a passion.

It's not that buggy. I've had maybe half a dozen minor visual bugs at most in all the time I've played

I'm just sivk of collecting clutter. Why?
