The concern trolling over this game is already unbearable

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since it’s not coming to a certain platform

yeah, the main narrative is something I’m completely already out on presuming that’s what it is, it’s beyond overdone at this point. Even The Expanse had this mysterious advanced alien artefact driving it, but it only used that to advance the main plot of the show/book - the conflict between the Inners and the Belt.

Yeah people are going nuts on taking every nugget of information in the most negative light possible. Really unpleasant.

Yeah, we’ll see. Whatever is hand crafted will be what I end up playing.

Yes very excited to see the modding potential. There’s gonna be Fallout planets and Skyrim planets :rofl:

It is as if somebody wiped out the memory of what Bethesda game is :joy:

There was concept art that showed caves and in the deep dive they showed it ingame. But yeah, I really hope there will be some unique areas to explore. Skyrim had some very cool ones. The one with the huge floating mushroom things was amazing, with the pretty bright lights.

The artworks also had what looked like a jungle type of location, really cool. I bet they have so much they didn’t show. I kinda just want to not know too.

Remember when dense open worlds in Ubisoft games were constantly criticized for being ā€œtheme parksā€ and ā€œchecklistsā€? And that open worlds needed to be more natural and have more empty space?

And then Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima came out, and for some reason you didn’t hear those criticisms much anymore? :upside_down_face:

Yeah and they heavily implied you can just mainquest the game in a guided way more like a normal game.

Read that which is very good for me. I’m very happy about that because when Howard said that it’s about the story you create (meaning the gamer), I was thinking that there was no main story campaign or that it was very short. Sounds great for me. :slight_smile:

Hopefully not limited to that. Space is endless possibilities, it’s sci-fi, I hope to see some very cool unique indoor locations too, caves with weird creatures and mysteries to unravel or solve.

There’s always been a main story in BGS games but most people go beyond and get attached to exploring everything else on top and role playing, and sometimes even ignoring the main story. It’s what you choose to do with it like Pete said, you can customize your experience that way or just mainquest it. There’s so much stuff that you don’t even have to touch that will be other people’s favorite bits. Like the settlement building in FO4, completely optional and you don’t have to bother with it, but to others it was the best part of the game.

It took me years before I finally finished Oblivions story, I really enjoyed it I just kept getting distracted

Skyrim I still havnt finished the main quest

We will see what happens with Starfield lol

There’s definitely a lot of stuff in Starfield. Funny thing is that the biggest complaint I have seen is the shooting and gunplay which is the best thing I saw. lol. I have my issues but if im enjoying the combat and shooting mechanics, I will be very happy.

Is the base building in Starfield optional or mandatory?

What’s been Implied and also consistent with their other games as well, is that it’s optional.

Okay. Wasn’t sure. Thanks.

Phew, I wonder if somebody online will be asking if Starfield has character leveling or not :sweat_smile:

The bit where Pete Hines spoke about release dates and how they want to announce them and don’t have to change them later, that it’s not something they take lightly.

That sounds a bit reassuring to me about the Q1 window for the game. I don’t even remember what their last game was that had to be delayed, Oblivion? They will do all they can to release on time. But it’s of course never 100% guaranteed.
