Starfield |OT| You're Finally Awake... In Space!

For those of you who do a lot of planet surveying like me, if you find yourself with 1 or 2 species of fauna that you can’t find despite the map saying “100%” for every biome, just remember that there are fish in this game. So, land as close to the ocean as you can and you’ll find fish pretty quick.

Also, complete planet survey data is worth quite a bit and Vladimir will buy them off of you once you progress the main story to a certain point. I think I got 10-12k just for Jemison alone and most moons will net you ~1k. It’s easy money.

I think the L.I.S.T-guy in Cydonia also buys scans for habitable planets.

I usually play a very morally grey character in my RPG’s but this time I’m very good for some reason. I think it’s Sarah’s influence, I don’t want to disappoint her haha.

Immersion!

I’m doing the same thing, I accidentally picked up some contraband and was like no I don’t want to disappoint her. Also just not really doing main quests but kinda just doing whatever comes up. I never play these types of games but it’s just amazing.

This is really interesting.

DF Direct Special: Could Starfield Run At 60FPS On Series X? PC Impressions, DLSS + More

Seems to bear out that the chose 30fps on balance, as the Xbox Series X CPU paired with the AMD equivalent for the PS5 RDNA2 GPU can’t run much further than 35fps in the major city areas.

Something else that occurred to me… There are going to be a ton of gamers who play Starfield as their first Bethesda game, either because they’re younger or they just missed them before. “Wait a minute, there are other games just like Starfield but in a fantasy world??” This is going to drive a lot of traffic back to Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout.

Yeah, and imagine if there was a service which had all of those games included…

Hot take maybe, but I dunno personally don’t see any reason why they still have to do all those physics and interactable objects, it’s cool, but seriously there’s no real gameplay difference, and it’s a lot of compute, without it game would likely be more performant. Would like to hear why they think it’s important, and maybe it serves a purpose I’m not smart enough to figure out?

It’s just part of what makes their RPGs unique and is considered part of the “Bethesda charm.” Like the way people are going wild over the room full of potatoes. It has nothing to do with quests or game progression but it’s that element of, You think this would be cool or it’s the way you want to express yourself in this world? The game will let you do it.

Those little things and physics are one of the reasons BGS games stand out from the rest, for some people it might not mean much but for others it’s a big part of what makes them BGS games

Personally I take ambition and features over slightly better performance any day

@Astrakan

Thanks @Astrakan I have been watching a few videos to see what I have been doing wrong and a few people have mentioned building a mission board then accepting the cargo link missions which apparently creates cargo links to various vendors to sell your resources automatically.

I will probably try it tonight as I have quite a big outpost now, I just can’t be bothered to keep flying back there.

I would just like to say that I really appreciate this little corner of the internet where people talk about the game like normal people.

Thank you all.

game industry with the classic starfield is a niche game. Bunch of trash. Paid for by Sony. All the uk rags are.

Yea this is one of the few places where this game can be talked about without getting trolled about it.

The Starfield subreddit is also pretty normal surprisingly considering it’s reddit

I think every Bethesda game subreddit is pretty chill. Only the TES lore subreddit is a little bit nuts because of Michael Kirkbride canon discussion.

Hooray! Done with work for the week. Got busy so I haven’t played for two or three days. Ready to plop on the couch and head back out to space.
