So... where did the "aliens must be incoherent eldritch abominations meant for human destruction or humans with tumors and skin cancer" moronation originate?
Kinda shocked even Todd Howard would go full moron when it comes to extraterrestrials.
Starfield

Colony Wars, the UC utilized biowarfare by crafting "terrormorphs" which could render planets difficult to inhabit without a strong military presence.
I'm not gunna play starfield, but what's wrong with those designs? They're varied.
>dude like scaled-up insects or mammals with a gorillion limbs is like kino design dude
Unironically yes
Todd is right.
What would you prefer alien life look like?
non-human humanoids
What about the alien animal life?
that's the most boring fricking answer you could have possibly come up with
Want me to post examples?
No, I want you to frick off.
yes
this Black person's going to post mass effect aliens just watch
Yes? Its science fiction.
Imagine if you were actually a space explorer. Would you really care about each and every inch of some random bumfrick planet? You would land there, grab whatever you want, and leave. If there's something important, you would mark the coordinates on your computer, and return a few times. Once you have no more use for that spot, you don't really care where you are landing.
Yes, it's all due to technical limitations, but it accurately represents how much a space explorer would remember random unimportant planets in his head.
There are some dedicated discord shitposters doing the same failed attempting at forcing a flop like they did with Elden Ring.
Overall most people on Ganker are probably buying and playing it, it looks fine.
I played Elden Ring and my standards are definitely too high to pay for any Bethesda slop ever again after they raped Fallout with Fallout 4
>eldritch
>game is about humans colonizing space
>all the aliens are unintelligent monsters
>religion plays a prominent role, and god is implied to be responsible for the creation of the universe
I didn't realize Todd was this based.
How does Todd's dick feel?
I get that you're thirsting for his wiener but I do not know the answer, homosexual.
girthy
Bethesda wanted to go hard sci-fi or "NASApunk" as they want to call it, but the theme just seems to be a jumbled mess with alien animals and goofy factions. Feels like a waste of what could've been a cool idea and match up better with what turns out to be a game that's pretty limited in scope. Should've just been about humanity exploring the solar system or something.
At this point I agree.
If you're going full-moron with aliens just don't include them at all.

AYO Y DEES AYLENS LOOK SO AYLEN??
ya so I keep asking ChatGPT what ayyz are the most plausible and realistic and it keeps saying these lyrans.
what are lyrans?
Sexy space cats.
Why would AI, built on pure logic and reason, say space cats are the most logical and realistic rendition of alien life?
>Nordics
True we come from the Hyperborean dimension
>no mention of silicon
Apart from carbon its the only other element that life could come from, we need more silicon games.
