I’ve just started this & I’ve done a couple of hours. I won’t comment on much because I’ve played so little, but here’s the standout stuff:
30fps has a future when it’s as good as this. It has to be the smoothest 30fps first person game I’ve played. Well done Bethesda. I’m on an oled as well, so that’s quite a surprise. I recommend first person here anyway because the combat in third person is a bit clunky.
the HDR needs addressing, quickly. It’s unfortunate for a space themed game to be so grey and washed out at night. I was on the planet with the pirate mission (very first one where you take on the crimson fleet guys) at night, and it’s just grey. Skyrim looks wonderous at night. So what happened here?
in terms of graphics (fidelity, object detail etc.), this is very good on a Series X. The ship interior is very next-gen IMO.
Oh & the digipick lockpicking is a lot of fun. I could see myself getting addicted to that.
It seems it really is the creator’s intent to have it look like that. I tried it in SDR and it’s the same look, maybe a tad darker. It helps a lot to change brightness on the TV to get proper dark nights and caves but in turn it looks too dark on New Atlantis outside during day time.
I don’t remember if we saw any night time during the Direct but watching some parts of it again it really seems they went for this :
Really wish it had been like Fallout 4 too. Proper night time look and interiors often required you to use the flashlight and was proper dark.
Hope this upcoming update will offer the options some of us want.
So in radiant quests(mission boards) they send you to a planet to take out a bad guy. It’s a different planet each time but the structure itself is just a reused asset. So I’ve done missions with the underground ice station probably six times along with the tower structure where you can download the planet data and a few others. Yesterday for the first time I got a new place which was a series of mining platforms and another new place that was an underground ship base where half way through the mission the roof opened and the ship took off
Heh, this is curious. So from the waterfall promenade area you can just hop back onto the spaceport area, just jump down. But to get to this area from there you get a brief loading screen.
Helpful tip. Make sure to have many manual backup save.
A couple of my auto save file got corrupted and would not load.
I had a old backup manual save and it saved my ass.
I would have been so pissed if i lost over 100 hours of playtime.
So make a manual save before you exit the game or quick resume just incase.
This reminds me of Fallout New Vegas, I made tons of saves but at least ten or more got corrupted or it would crash the game completely as soon as I loaded them. I do a lot of quicksaves, but I’ll try to make more manual ones from now on after having read your post.
So I have heard lots of people say do main story quests till you finish “Into the Unknown” cause then the game opens up a bit and its easier and better doing side content then. Anyone else believe that to be true?
Edit: For me in Bethesda games I like to play main quest till it makes sense I would take a break.
Like in this leaving Constellation at the moment would be weird.
