Very true to form for Bethesda. They give the players a bunch of mechanics to play with and then see what happens. Reminds me of the bucket trick in Skyrim where you can put containers on NPC’s heads to block their vision so that you can steal from them. It’s very silly, breaks the game, and ruins immersion, but it’s a single-player game so who cares? Enjoy the silliness if that’s how you want to play.

i didn't know you could steal from anyone in a bethesda game without magic guards knowing through the walls

I recall in Skyrim, chickens could act as a witness to crimes... so you'd have to ensure there were no poultry about or you'd run a fowl of the law.

Ugh. I hate you lol. Take your upvote ..

The only magic like that I know in any Bethesda game is that killing guards raises your bounty even if there are no witnesses. Sometimes picking something up makes "noise" which can get you busted, though.

IIRC if you aren't seen by the guard that doesn't happen (stealth kills, bow kills)

You can if said guards have buckets on their heads. Buckets are thicker than walls, duh.

I used to steal while looking a guard dead in the eyes.

I was at kissing distance while they went: "must've been the wind"

Fun times, silly game.

This has worked since Kingdom Hearts 1. The donut ship just works!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Came to say the same thing. Donut ships are op. Nearly unhittable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Wonder if you could design an elegant ship in this style, with a circular void in the center and a long neck and tail.

Xbox execs claimed Starfield would be Bethesda's least buggy game launch ever

Setting the bar high I see...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Kudos to the designer, M.C. Escher.

People will always find ways around everything lol

Imagine the looks when this... thing... lands at a spaceport.

“Nice ship- uh nevermind.”

I know Empyrion, which looks similiar in functionality. Anyone who knows both, how does Starfield compare to Empyrion?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I had high hopes for Empyrion but it blossomed like I had hoped it would. Bought it around 2016 and it still looks basically the same. AI still walks around like they shit their pants and guns feel like I'm shooting with a slide whistle.

So Starfield then, once you can get it for $10 and there are hundreds of mods.

Reminds me of the donut ship in Kingdom Hearts 2
