We can just wait for the mod that recreates Skyrim in Starfield.
Land on a planet, you step off the ship, and you suddenly get captured. Hard cut to black.
Slow fade in... "you're finally awake"
"Walked right into that UC ambush, same as us and that thief over there."
"That's Solomon Freestar! The true High King of Skyrim!"
And the dragons are just space ships and the souls you absorb are just... uh... radiation I guess from damaging the reactor. Or the magic space civilization from Starfield originated from here, so that's why everyone has magic.
I'm not backing down from the space ship dragons though, that part is just brilliant.
"Spaceships are dragons" Buddy we all know you're just trying to make an excuse for your vore mod.
"No, no, you need a warm and soft fleshy interior which you have to enter through the mouth, how else would you have dragon spaceships"
We all know how this goes
Why do I have to enter through the mouth? What if I want to take the backdoor and be less conspicuous?
God I love Lemmy lmfao
It's just a coincidence the airlock happen to be teeth shaped. A teeth pattern ensures none of the air escapes.
Years of loading screens
I was actually pretty impressed with the loading, especially after coming from bg3. It was pretty much instant for me.
Coming from bg3, I had the opposite opinion. BG3 loading screens take a while but it doesnt load very much unless your loading saves a lot. With Starfield you get hit with a small loading screen constantly like when transitioning in/out of ships, buildings, planets, etc.
I save scum like a mother so bg3 was pretty painful to get through. Starfield was a breath of fresh air.
For me it's not the speed, but the quantity. Docking? Loading screen. Launching off planet? Loading screen. Changing planet? Loading screen. Landing on the same planet? Loading screen. The only solution is to fast travel everywhere in an "immersive" space sim RPG. NMS and Elite:Dangerous have solved this issue. Bethesda needs to get with the times already.
They released the game 5 years too late, it was clearly made for a different market
Empty, lifeless, soulless without a deep story.
They realized that modders were going to overhaul the game in any way, so they just gave us a blank canvas instead.
Out of everything else, this is the most scathing criticism of this game I’ve seen 🤣
It's funny and true; I have no desire to continue playing and yet I am still excited to get my hands on the toolkit and make my own shit because all I see are missed opportunities everywhere. Honestly, I kinda wonder how into sci-fi the devs actually are, because everything is surface-level and misses the mark on a lot of referencial material so often.
Such as life. Or space, in general.
So where are the space hookers?
And yet I find myself not wanting to play it at all after only 80 hours.
Vast and “Empty” ==/== years of content
I see you’ve discovered space, congrats!
Indeed, just not my cup of tea is all.
The penultimate step before they just release a barebones framework that just lets the community create all the content (including patching their shitty code) while they keep raking in the money.
