You're the only pathetic one here anon.
Please can someone just cheat sheet me how the fuck I can just have a good ship to blow shit up with ease? I tried to add some weapons but idk wtf I'm doing. Can I just go to some planet and steal some insanely strong ship?
90% of the time I warp to a planet I get GANG RAPED instantly by 5+ fucking pirate ships. I need a fucking good ship.

That is incorrect. We use Latin characters, and a handful of Latin words, but English is Germanic language.
French is the opposite, it's a mostly Latin language larping as a Germanic language.

Stop ameriposting, you're making the rest of us look bad, as if we needed help.
it is a stat game not a simulation. Bigger stat wins. Laser against shields, bal against armor, beam against both, missles on 1 energy, as it only improve regeneration.
Invest in skills, shield skill, one skill in science that gives up to 11 energy. add idiots to the crew for bufs.
EW beats everything in targeting mode. >disable weapons >then disable engine >then board it >loot, kill, loot some more, blow the ship up after that for even more exp or claim it if you want it >repeat
remove all weapons and get some of those long range weapons that do as much damage to shields as to hull. just one weapon group with 3 of those will do the trick
get into ship building. it's fucking great. i built a flying tank with 5k cargo, max shields and projector turrets. nothing survives my massive space cock.
Without exploits and playing on Very Hard, you need to level piloting right from the start to get access to tier B and C otherwise you'll get shitfucked immediately in almost every space battle with more than one enemy.
The best design is to get the strongest shield and reactor you can then put as many particle beams on as possible. Ignore the other weapon types and you're not going to be shunting around power. Full power to the particle beams and ideally you will be able to take one or two down in the first pass. If you have good engines you can even run away, hold the thrusters button (space) and turn back around to fire on them while reversing but that doesn't always work and you can't break missle lock with boost when doing that.
you can put more weapons on then you think as long as you keep it to three groups, I was stuck for awhile thinking I could only have two laser cannons for a while and was struggling to take down shields. also spam piloting skills
like everyone else has said, particle beam weapons will kill ships like nothing
as far as skills go, get your points in piloting for higher class ship piloting, shields which gives HUGE bonuses compared to other flight skills, at least one point in targeting systems so you can target enemy systems easy, and make sure after completing Walter Strouds quests on Neon that you do his quest where he has you go to the Stroud Eklund shipyard and design a ship, you can make a really good ship FOR FREE if you make the right choices
Put the game on very easy, no one will know, and no one will care. Every ship becomes god, every fight is easy. Once you find a good ship, if you still care, set the difficulty back up to Normal, cause playing on Hard in a Bethesda game is just retarded.
so you can only romance/marry one of the main 4 constellation people? jesus, why not just do it like skyrim where you can do it with like half the named characters in the game. i'd prefer that and have marriage be low effort than build these quests up when you only have 4 options (2 if you're not bi)

So your EVA suit affects stealth even when it's not visible. Ok, that makes sense, since you keep its stat (booster pack too) in settlements where it can be hidden.
But why does it affect stealth on planets without atmosphere? I swear, fuckers can hear me thru walls. Are they fucking Graboids and feel my "seismic activity"? Todd? Explain yourself!
>Coming back after a long excursion to sell stuff
I love running around to 12 different vendors to sell all my stupidly expensive loot. It's great.
>and upgrade your ship
I love having my armory and all those hundreds of fucking clutter items I never wanted dumped into my cargo hold. It's great.
>is nice.
Yeah man. It's great. Comfy. Soulful. GOTYAY. All those things.
I love vendoring piles of redundant trash through console-optimized menus. Nothing like it. The best shit.
get the ui mod its surprisingly really complex and well done
and vendors not having enough and inventory and loot management has always been a thing. max I've seen is 11k credits per vendor which actually is a lot and more than enough for most loot hauls depending
>I love having my armory and all those hundreds of fucking clutter items I never wanted dumped into my cargo hold
Keeps happening with me too. Even if you clear all the clutter, often when you change something the game says "oh, you know all that default clutter, we're gonna pop it in your hold ok" even though you got rid of it all.

yeah I rerolled like 4 or 5 times before being perk efficient. I don't think the companions perks are working properly so you aren't missing on that but a lot of those science perks are for level 20+
I found the best beginning is to pick bounty hunter , get the mantis and level up piloting as well as persuade and lock picking .
haven't put any perks into guns or body yet , stealth and stealing are buggy and janky and not fun. you can be out of Los in a random closed room and get "caught" by someone 1 floor down in a different room. stupid shit. also stealing and getting caught makes your companions attack you randomly . stupid shit.
anyway I rushed piloting then the 2 perks on tier 3 that are for ship upgrades
Some cactuses on Gagarin if I remember right if you want to farm them, or if you are freindly with pirates you can go to Suvorov in Kryx, and there are beasts there that drop it.
You find a planet that has resources you think you want and then scan it and try and land on the border of two biomes so you can get both at the same place. Then you build a pole and then extractors and cargo and pick from the few shitty building options you have fighting the atrocious console ui all the way and build benches and shit. Then you realise that you could just buy the shit you need instead of fucking around and you can't make anything comfy anyway and once again Bethesda has realised the worst possible implementation of a good idea and you go and play like rimworld or something instead.

I know of two big bridges one that requires a ladder but the interior looks great (Stroud) and the other that doesn't need a ladder (deimos) where do you get others?
I wouldn't use it inside for fear of bumping my head and honestly you're missing the point I just would rather have stairs or an elevator so i can't have my bridge up high
But where do you buy it? I know you get the Stroud one at their staryard and dane for deimos at theirs but I haven't found any other staryards

Thanks I'll look in to it next time I play maybe I can finally get rid of that ladder. I love the look of the Stroud bridge but hat that you have to put a ladder to get to it hopefully someone mods in stairs or an elevator later
Ecohaul is the sexiest ship in the game
I upgraded it to 6000 cargo and upgraded everything on it
My only problem with it is that I need to jump an outer system to examine some distress signal but the shortest route is 22 light years away while I can only jump 19
It's just boring running along the edge of the water trying not to dip my toes in it so i don't get a horrible alien disease (and not to mention finding the fucking ocean, the amount of times I've landed in a coastal biome and not even seeing a fucking ocean, because the fucking ship decided to land in the middle of a fucking dessert instead of close to the water)
Does anyone else dislile how skills work? I think its weird you need to spend the same points to acquire it as you do to level it up. I wish it either took much longer to level us by using it (eg: craft mods) and it did it automatically or you had an entirely separate points value to level up skills you already own. How you get those points idk. Im just saying it feels weird to level up say handguns by defeating X people but dont get to benefits until you "waste" a level up point in actually leveling it
~player.addiperk [perk]
I don't usually do this in my first playthrough, but I've made an exception because they're wasting players' time on dumb shit again. Unless you're a console player, why stress yourself.
Favorite ship parts/equipment manufacturers? For me, it's Deimos. For that bulky, hard edged militaristic look. Stroud-Eklund are cool too, cause of their clean interiors, and simple lines. HopeDesign gays need not apply.
Is it just me or does the game freeze a bit for everyone when you switch your weapon via hotkey?
It annoys me to no end, enemies always get a few shots on me when I have to switch from rifle to shotgun.
My PC isn't that shit, the worst component is the i7-10700K CPU.
Since this seems to be the least mentally ill Starfield thread, are the performance issues really that bad? I've got a 3060 Ti and 5600x. Can I get 1440p/60 with that without it looking like garbage?
3060 to here as well I've been playing at 1080p and honestly the only time the game dips in frames are in the new Atlantis or akhila but it's not that bad plus there are mods to fix performance if it really bothers you other than that just the normal Bethesda jank
I don't think so. On my 3080 mobile I get between 35 and 45 fps on most settings except ultra which sinks it to under 30. videocardbenchmark.net gives the 3060ti a higher score (20600) than 3080 mobile (16623) but I don't think that's enough to reach 60 at 1440p.
Then you don't have max TPD 3080 mobile. Except for the city planets I have constant 70fps+ with my 3080 mobile, granted I use the DLSS mod and a mix between high and medium for settings not that important. 1440p.
Anyway it's a fucking joke that these morons haven't updated the game after more than a week with performance improvements.

>join the crimson fleet >All pirates are now my friend, attacking them gets bounty
Pirates put bounty on you too? That is fucking lame.
All they had to do is add the transponder mechanic. Bountyless piracy at the cost of instant aggro from patrols. >no longer any enemies left in the game and you don't get exp for non violence so levelling has slowed to a crawl
Even Varuun fellas?
Bounty is removed if you kill the last witness.
Even if you side with CF, there are Spacers and Ecliptic still roaming around. Va'Ruun are rare, most assume they're going to be more prominent in DLC.
>Bounty is removed if you kill the last witness.
So it's Skyrim's bounty system. Which is strange: I stumbled upon a UC Relay Station while exploring and robots guarding it attacked me and I gained a bounty for defending myself. But bounty remained after I killed all the robots. Maybe something bugged out.
Now, I haven't done any piracy yet, but that sounds lackluster. No jamming the comms and aforementioned transponder play. Shame.
>crimson is friendly >get some quest to kill some pirate target >enter base, no one attacks me >walk my way to the target looting everything >shotgun him 5 times on the face >get 4k reward >pay 700 for the bounty crimson fleet put on me

>do a hunt cultist mission >open door to mine that has the target after clearing the outside >after a few minutes of looting the begining are mission accomplished cultist destroyed
the only thing i can think of is my companion glitched out and killed them with the nades i had just given her so i took them off
So realistically, would you be able to hear gunfire and other sounds through your spacesuit in vaccuum? No air for sound to travel in vaccuum but there's air in your suit
The problem ain't the lack of air, it's just that particles are just too sparse so there's nothing to vibrate and propagate the waves we interpret as sound.
If you touch the spaceship and something bumps it, you will hear it because you feel the vibration through the hull and it shakes the air inside your suit. There's little things to "shake" in space and they don't "bump" into the next thing because they're too far apart.
I think that as long as you're not touching any surface, there's no way for the sound to reach you.
Suppose that makes sense. Still, considering making a mod that makes sound a bit muffled when you're in a spacesuit and wearing a helmet, just so that it actually feels like you are in a sealed suit.
Ok so there is barely any laser/electromagnetic weapons. Why even bother adding such category in the first place if there are no weapons for it.
Also, in every single dungeon I do I always fight humans, either spacers or pirates. Please tell me there is more to it, and later there will be some ruined labs with alien monsters or something
There are multiple rifles, pistols, and a minigun for lasers. I think there are at least four different EM weapons.
There few places with alien monsters, and hunting alien creatures on planet surface is the easiest way to farm XP, but apart from that, no. Also lots of robots and turrets.
>persuasion (which hardly ever gets used >woo, extra 500 creds for StarParcel delivery >woo, useless crew member for 50% off

Damn, that's good. Colors are off, but good overall.

I need help. I have some Va'Ruun ship as main.
Warning, if you're exploring every planet 1 by 1 you will quickly realize that all planets including ones with life reuse assets to an almost ridiculous degree, so much so I wished they had cut the amount of planets in half or even down to a quarter. You'll see repeating flora and fauna with color differences, and even repeating geophysical features. The reason I wish why they cut the amount of planets down is this would have allowed for planets with life to actually stay interesting, I hate landing on a planet, seeing the same tree asset I have seen for the 5th time with but red, and the same coral bug but green. I wanted to land on an alien world and be intrigued by strange plants and geological formations, everything just becomes bland.
I wish I had something better to do than to play this horrible game. No system works well. There is no soul anywhere. It is just a husk of a game made exclusively to syphon money from retards like me. I hate my life.
markers are really fucking weird in this game. It'll say the obj is right above you, but what it really means is you need to get in an elevator. It's really noticeable when you're in the Crimson fleet and trying to find Delgado on the Key
That is my problem with the shipbuilding as well. Nothing can be sleek. Everything looks like a stack of shipping containers with rocket boosters welded on.
>There are structural parts just to give that finishing touch. Curves, wings that sort of stuff. Not everything is a square.
But what about on the inside? You can't have a big cool room with curved walls. Think of the big command centre in the Normandy, for example.
The cockpits get to be curved because they protrude from the end and aren't required to fit into the grid system except on a single side. Everything else is a 1x1/2x1/3x1 cuboid unit that can connect in six different directions to any other habitat module.
Speaking of which. How do you escape missile locked onto you. I'm so confused at the warning because there are no flares. Am i supposed to barrel roll?
>ground combat >all you need is rank 4 is either energy or ballistic and you are good to go >ship combat >you need max piloting/shield/ship design at the minimum
I guess not able to simply loot good ship is pain in the ass
just started and im probably going to be playing a lot. is there anything to the whole NG+ thing people talk about? im thinking about just rushing to NG+ then starting my real playthrough there where i ignore the campaign.
The interesting stuff from NG+ comes from doing numerous cycles (you can get through the main quest much more quickly in subsequent runs) - if you rushed to NG+, then parked yourself there and did all the non-campaign stuff, you'd kind of be getting the worst of both worlds.
I would suggest you ignore NG+ to start with, and clear out your first game, do all the side stuff you're interested in doing, pile up money and do your outposts and neat ships and level all the skills you care about, and when there's nothing else left to do then you can "retire" it by going into NG+, and at the point just keep running through repeated NG+ cycles and discovering what interesting stuff you could find.
Alternatively you could do it the other way round, do nothing but repeated NG+ bumrushes until you decide it's time to settle down and explore everything else, but you'd not have seen as much of the world to get a sense of what might change and if you decided you were getting a bit bored of the NG+ stuff and wanted to try some side content you'd feel like you had to either stop doing NG+ or lose everything you got from the side content.
also in NG+ if you plan on taking your time and staying in that particular run its better to repeat the main quest instead of skipping since you get more stuff in the form of unique loot and stuff, more potential things from the constellation related quests you don't get if you skip the main quest.
and only choose to skip the main quest if you know for a fact your gonna just bumrush all the temples and head to next one
As usual it's people making a mountain out of a molehill.
99% of the game is still identical to vanilla and it's not worth gathering the tedious artifacts and temples for slightly stronger powers. I've seen people claim that random NPCs are different but I've yet to see anything other than constellation related stuff change.
I've been playing Bethesda games since Oblivion, I sunk maybe 800h into modding and playing Skyrim to the limit. And at this point, I think Bethesda needs to drop the "you can pick up stuff and move it around and the game remembers where it is" thing. It holds the engine back and kills performance, while being a detail that doesn't actually improve the game.
I'd like the interactivity if it actually improved the gameplay experience. But Beth games aren't about object puzzles like Lara Croft games or physics like Tears of the Kingdom. Oblivion wasn't, Skyrim wasn't, Fallout wasn't, and Starfield isn't. The object physics gimmick doesn't really improve or affect the core gameplay. Nobody's going to spawn 200 boxes of milk through console commands, watch them fall on the floor with each box having its own physics, and say "wow this really improves the game." It doesn't. It's a gimmick with a half-hearted implementation and 0 gameplay opportunities to show it off, and there are tons of open world games that don't have this gimmick and nobody complains. If you think Skyrim would have been ruined if you couldn't pick up a tomato and throw it into a puddle of water, you're lying and you know it.
Make it an actual part of the game, make it matter. If you won't, remove it. Removal could improve the game's performance and turn it into something smoother and less janky, without really losing anything in terms of story or gameplay or atmosphere. A good compromise could be keeping this interactivity only for certain object types like weapons and food.

Is there a way to make a 'shortlist' for locations you want to travel to? I keep forgetting what fucking planet Neon's on, and it's not like in Skyrim where you can look at the 'layout' of the world underneath, they're all just white fucking dots on a black screen.
man this game is making me want to learn how to mod. there's so much little shit i want to add like spooky sounds in the caves with a buffed up dangerous alien creature in it.
Can you only create weapon and suit mods at the lodge? I know you can “research” stuff on your ship, but I can’t find anywhere to actually apply them to your guns/suit
You have to do build mode to change hab modules. Get a 2x1 workshop for weapon, suit and industrial wrokbenches on ship. Infirmary or science module for pharma and research. All-in-one or living for galley and bed. Engineering modules to increase crew stations.
I landed on a moon and another ship landed nearby. Went to go check it out, Spacer ship. Killed some guys on the ground then the ship took off. The wake from the take-off thrusters blasted the dead bodies into orbit
Yesterday I was scavenging and exploring some lone planet in a white dwarf star system with 0.06G
Eclipse bounty hunters tracked me down in an outpost (I picked the trait that puts a strange bounty on your head)
I killed the last one by blasting his jet pack, he fucking flew really far into the sky, looney tunes style lol
I wish I recorded this shit
This is good way to get new improved ships for free without having to do space combat. OFten when you land somewhere, a ship will touch down nearby. Sometimes you can take them, other times its says you're not authorised. I got a C-class ship withut even having to fight because it was a UC ship, and they just let me take it with no penalty for some reason.
yes you can carry infinite items. you cant die from running out of breath. you slow down a little and your vision is blurry and red but thats it. there are perks for increasing your carry limit but that is a joke as you might imagine.

it was okay I guess. Walk through some tunnels and kill spacers, find out Mantis was a dumb bitch who got her dumb son killed by not turning off the house alarm.
I'm just rushing through all the story content in this game until I join the Crimson Fleet tbh. Did UC Vanguard & Ryujin and currently on Freestar Ranger, nothing's been great so far.
How can I see this info because I can't seem to find it? I want to know what materials are used to build structures on planets / moons that can withstand temperatures of 450+ degrees Celsuis, as seen in the game. Also, what the fuck is raining and what are those oceans in temp conditions of minus 70 degrees? Liquid methane?
Also, how come my spacesuit can withstand those temperatures (I get slight probs on cold planets and moons, but not hot ones) but if I set foot into cold lake my character freezes? Is the lake even colder than the average temp on those cold planets?
How is it that in their games about post-nuclear fallout America they ALWAYS make sure aliens re there in the game, but in a fucking game about space travel and exploration where one of the key themes is about figuring out "what's out there" they don't put in a SINGLE sapient alien? Why the fuck are they so useless god damn it.
If I kill a civilian and nobody sees me, will that affect my ''karma'' and turn me into a wanted man? I took Space Scoundrel as background, but I've never stolen a sigle item from people. Not visible, I mean. And I really want to kill those reporters.

Which, as shown earlier in this thread, it objectively isn't.
Holding w in Skyrim or Fallout 4 led you past all sorts of interesting map locations you might want to check out. You get basically none of that in Starfield. If you pass by a planet on your way to a quest marker, you have to manually pull up the planet menu to even see if there's anything worth checking out on the planet, and you stop doing that pretty quickly when you realize it's just a bunch of procedurally generated ruins and outposts

Fun quests with interesting world building and often multiple outcomes.
Improved Persuasion that isn't just "have SPEECH 90 or more"
Shipbuilding is incredibly addicting
Outpost building is more intuitive, more in-depth, and more rewarding since outposts don't look like shanty towns
Traits let you roleplay more easily even without a class system like Morrowind or Oblivion
Worldbuilding is also pretty deep and interesting. Feels like a REAL world.
Towns are actually huge and feel like something you can get lost in.
Lots of things anon, lots of things.

Yeah, its partially chance based (so skills can influence) but the base chance is dependent on what you actually say. Bringing up charity to a greedy vendor has a low base; bringing up how no one else is gonna but this junk is higher. Both are still chance based.

No, nothing can be worse than Fallout 4 in this regard. Fallout 4 famously has the "WE ARE REPLACING HUMANS WITH SYNTHS. WHY? IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN".
There is not a single well written or engaging quest in Fallout 4. That is not an exaggeration. >Shitty gamified dice rolling where the reactions to your dialogue options make no sense, Oblivion did it better
They do make sense; they depend on the person you're talking to's personality. >Don't get too attached before ng+ :>)
That doesn't negate their fun tho'. I can choose to not do NG+ anytime and still have fun. >Somehow even less useful than Fallout 4 encampments

Honestly if they'd have reused updated Morrowind assets for the planets it would have been an improvement. All the aliens feel the same and aren't very alien esque. They are either cattle or wolves from Skyrim. The quests are okay, but 90% of the time pretty bland and often don't make much logical sense. Especially the faction quests are imo, pretty medicore. I hardly get to know my compatriots since they are shallow as hell and most of the side characters don't have their own quests. Riyuin could have been great but instead it's a bunch of hackor bullshit that is all tell no show. >Sabotage an entire essembly line

Freestar Rangers is pretty fun and gives some good RP opportunities (you can even reference your Ranger status in some non-Ranger quests and events)
Jesus that looks bad. When you said covered up by a rag, I imagined something like the Fallen Knight set in Dark Souls 3 or Master Chief in his desert poncho to go for a vagrant wander look. I do not understand the reflective apron.
>Master Chief in his desert poncho
Remember when retards were having a hissy fit about this when first shown? Probably the only example of 343 having some sense of "coolness" within them.
Its best to restart in higher difficulty the suit its just a full legendary suit that takes all slot except clothing but if you got decent legendary effect armor slots thats gonna be better
No its terrible, It takes up all 3 slots and you can get better defense from 3 separate parts you can find as soon as you start killing some enemies, its just something to roleplay with I guess. I would actually prefer if you started with literally nothing at all. You are bein destroyed and reborn, you should start naked on a planet somewhere. I ean who is even making all these starborn suits and ships, it makes no sense at all.

I'm on 20th NG+, and this NPC appeared right at the start, has no name, only "???"
Yes but tbh the croissant weapons damage and no customization sucks the ship only has big shields and cargo sice besides all space cops saying WOW COOL SHIP
You are starting again in a new universe. You keep your skills and knowledge, and get a basic armor and ship that is mostly useless. What you get is mainly the chance to get more powers. I am findin git fun to start with nothing and have to build up again to get to the next universe. Adn then when I've had enough of that, I will settle down near an coean somewhere and ponder.
Persuasion is bullshit >yo we just met but give me the code for the bank vault >come on guy give me the code >seriously dude just give me the damn code >OK HERE YOU GO STRANGER
I just mean the application of it is bullshit. There are situations when it just doesn't make sense that you could persuade them at all. You couldn't persuade some total stranger in real life to do some of the things you can in game.
>Build fuckhuge capital ship because I just made a ton of money >Want all the habs, this is now my home >Get it looking great >Get in >All the doors/ladders are a fucking maze >Go all the way up to go all the way down to get to a random storage room in the corner, it's a fucking labyrinth >Can't manually change ladder/door placements
I had to fuck with it for two hours just to get it to a place that I could navigate. And it only mostly works because of the hallways from Nova Galactic/homestead.
I hate the ship builder. It's so difficult to create a decent looking ship, and the controls are so fucking clunky because they were obviously designed with controllers at the forefront.
Already got about 30 hours on it because I have no life. Have done main quest and side stuff. Didn't pirate it, paid the full amount for early access. And I'll tell you straight up it's a massive disappointment. First of all it just feels too similar to Fallout 4 and 76. You can immediately tell it's essentially the same game with a new setting. Shooting feels better but enemies are incredibly easy. They barely react. "Exploration" is almost nonexistent. It's not open world. You just load from instance to instance over and over. Story is incredibly overhyped and boring. It doesn't really evolve as you play. Overall the whole game is boring. I've never felt so aimless in a Beth game before. You honestly just stop giving a fuck because it's this drab back and forth with nothing of consequence. Character creator is good imo, builds are shit. The stuff you pick doesn't feel impactful in general gameplay at all. Space flight is absolute shit. You can't really explore space at all. The dialogue is the standard quippy modern fair. NPCs look awful as usual. Many locations are empty "mobs spawn here" zones with nothing much else. It's just a very bland game.
Starfield really does feel like Fallout 4 in "space" but it's just far more empty, generic and boring. There's nothing new here. I'll keep playing but overall I'm very let down because the game just isn't what they pretended it to be. It could literally be a Fallout 4 mod. I'm actually having buyers remorse but I'm honest at least.
>It's not open world. You just load from instance to instance over and over.
Literally Oblivion and Morrowind as well. Interiors being instanced is the same thing.
>Starfield really does feel like Fallout 4 in "space" but it's just far more empty, generic and boring.
This is how I know you didn't play it. There is no way on Earth ANYONE could like Fallout 4 or find it more fun than Starfield. There isn't a single likeable or fun thing in Fallout 4. Nothing.
Eh, I'm not that far in Starfield yet, but I like the VATS-boosted combat in Fallout better than the below-average Starfield gunplay. The Fallout universe is more interesting, and the exploration is less tedious. I dunno if i'd call Fallout 4 an objectively better game, but I liked it more than I'm liking Starfield now
Once you get more powerful its great. Jetpacking into an enemy base, gravity blasting their asses, hovering in the air with slow mo aiming, raping them with magshot rifle
>VATS-boosted combat in Fallout
Literally playing the game for you. Holy shit, you're opinion is garbage. >the exploration is less tedious
There is, without exaggeration, NOTHING worth exploring in Fallout 4. Nothing.
You have unironic shit taste. You probably consider Borderlands and Grand Theft Auto the peak of gaming.
Is there anything worth exploring in Starfield? Honest question, I hope there is, but I haven't found it yet, and the heavily menu-based travel feels like it disincentivizes you from even trying. I haven't found anything even half as interesting as a Fallout vault, which isn't a particularly high bar to clear
Again you reveal yourself, as Fallout 4 has notoriously boring vaults. Starfields random generated planet squares can be pretty boring, but you do have some nice hand crafted locations and cities to mess around in. Fallout 4 has one tiny ass village and literally nothing else. The vaults suck. The buildings suck.
Literally EVERYTHING about Fallout 4 is worse. It's a dogshit game. You don't have to like Starfield, but saying Fallout 4 is better than it in any capacity is just a braindead take.

New Vegas and Fallout 3 (to a lesser extent) are great. Fallout 4 has a shit-ass story, shit-ass exploration, shit-ass characters, shit-ass side quests, ABSOLUTELY FUCK AWFUL BUIDLING. Starfield improved on these in every capacity.
oblivion and morrowind have a single large world to explore
Which doesn't matter, since anything worse exploring is behind a loading screen. Which makes the open world pointless since its not actually seamless towards the areas that matter.

In Skyrim, you have to walk from point A to point B through the open world, at least the first time. You have to explore to do anything. You find things you weren't looking for organically.
In Starfield, all of the traveling is in menus. You have no incentive to land on planets that don't have quest markers. I've tried, and they just seem to be boring, procedurally-generated balls of nothing except resources I don't need. The sense of exploration is gone. If an NPC doesn't tell you "hey, go here to find some handcrafted content", you're not going to find it

Holding w in Skyrim or Fallout 4 led you past all sorts of interesting map locations you might want to check out. You get basically none of that in Starfield. If you pass by a planet on your way to a quest marker, you have to manually pull up the planet menu to even see if there's anything worth checking out on the planet, and you stop doing that pretty quickly when you realize it's just a bunch of procedurally generated ruins and outposts

The guy you're responding to didn't play the game.
The quests are the most fun part. If you fly around you'll get gently nudged into them.
There are random unrelated places on planets too. I just ran into Sonny di Falco's island which was a neat change of pace for a dungeon.
I only ever see fags posting screenshots of the same three ruined skyscrapers on Earth.
Somthing the game doesn't tell you I only juts found out, you can boost forwards with your pack. If you assign a key to the jump alt binding, it boosts you forwards rather than up...really the game should tell you this because it makes a huge difference to travelling
The whole Crimson Fleet questline was no joke 80% using menus and loading screens to fast travel, dock, undock, talk to NPCs and I fucking hated it. Is the rest of the game like this?
Is there any list of the interesting NG+ worlds, or is it really just a handful? I remember people talking about the murdered-constellation universe, the universe where you run into yourself, and the universe where constellation was bought out before you even got there. Anything else interesting besides universes with race-swapped NPCs?
So should I rush the ending or not? I feel like it's pointless to do side quests before ng+, but I also feel like it I lose all my shit and start over, I'll just lose interest
but they take forever to reload, if you get a crowd youre fucked

Theres literally no slutmog at all in this game, i got 3 women on my ship and i cant undress them and i cant dress them up in some slutty space wear.
Currently wearing some neon skirt and that one with tight spandex, its not enough though. Otherwise im enjoying the game.
The one that makes medkits heal more. Early game veryhards just bulletsponge with no ammo since it took 3-4 reloads to kill a guy and that goes away pretty quick as someone whose been playing its its not worth starting on veryhard. Do normal up it when combat feels too easy.
I don't have the game. Do you keep leveling up and getting new perk points in NG+, or is there a max you hit and you're always locked out of certain things on that character?
What i enjoyed about fallout was that i was able to undress and position dead women around, like if i was ambushed by bandits i would kill them and undress them and maybe bend them over a table.
I would take out my cock and pump myself into a frenzy head rping im raping dead or unconcious women, i could do this in Skyrim as well. I enjoy starfield however its just missing some key ingredients i enjoy about bethesda jank rpgs.

I'm 99% sure that's the location.
Literally just turn down the difficulty
it is a stat game not a simulation. Bigger stat wins. Laser against shields, bal against armor, beam against both, missles on 1 energy, as it only improve regeneration.
Invest in skills, shield skill, one skill in science that gives up to 11 energy. add idiots to the crew for bufs.
EW beats everything in targeting mode.
>disable weapons
>then disable engine
>then board it
>loot, kill, loot some more, blow the ship up after that for even more exp or claim it if you want it
>repeat
You can't board if other ships exist.
remove all weapons and get some of those long range weapons that do as much damage to shields as to hull. just one weapon group with 3 of those will do the trick
get into ship building. it's fucking great. i built a flying tank with 5k cargo, max shields and projector turrets. nothing survives my massive space cock.
Can you fly into Kryx and fuck them up?
go full particle beams, as long as you're not wanting to disable and board ships.
Without exploits and playing on Very Hard, you need to level piloting right from the start to get access to tier B and C otherwise you'll get shitfucked immediately in almost every space battle with more than one enemy.
The best design is to get the strongest shield and reactor you can then put as many particle beams on as possible. Ignore the other weapon types and you're not going to be shunting around power. Full power to the particle beams and ideally you will be able to take one or two down in the first pass. If you have good engines you can even run away, hold the thrusters button (space) and turn back around to fire on them while reversing but that doesn't always work and you can't break missle lock with boost when doing that.
6 x Autoprojectors and you'll melt any ship in no time on very hard and beyond.
you can put more weapons on then you think as long as you keep it to three groups, I was stuck for awhile thinking I could only have two laser cannons for a while and was struggling to take down shields. also spam piloting skills
Go all beam weapons like in late episode Gundam.
like everyone else has said, particle beam weapons will kill ships like nothing
as far as skills go, get your points in piloting for higher class ship piloting, shields which gives HUGE bonuses compared to other flight skills, at least one point in targeting systems so you can target enemy systems easy, and make sure after completing Walter Strouds quests on Neon that you do his quest where he has you go to the Stroud Eklund shipyard and design a ship, you can make a really good ship FOR FREE if you make the right choices
Put the game on very easy, no one will know, and no one will care. Every ship becomes god, every fight is easy. Once you find a good ship, if you still care, set the difficulty back up to Normal, cause playing on Hard in a Bethesda game is just retarded.

I have been ignoring a lot of shit and posting about this game. What exactly do you do in the game? Also what's the general plot?
Fallout in space.
so you can only romance/marry one of the main 4 constellation people? jesus, why not just do it like skyrim where you can do it with like half the named characters in the game. i'd prefer that and have marriage be low effort than build these quests up when you only have 4 options (2 if you're not bi)
because the witcher 3 ruined fallout 4 and will continue ruined RPG for the rest of existance
can you just build a ship from scratch or am i gonna have to first blow a bunch of money on a ship just to scrap most of it?
the only way to build your own ship is to modify an existing one. what were they thinking?
yo, how come my boost pack is only doing half boosts now? Also can you respec?

Take off your space suit.

So your EVA suit affects stealth even when it's not visible. Ok, that makes sense, since you keep its stat (booster pack too) in settlements where it can be hidden.
But why does it affect stealth on planets without atmosphere? I swear, fuckers can hear me thru walls. Are they fucking Graboids and feel my "seismic activity"? Todd? Explain yourself!

Cool ship. Reminds me of the Anvil Valkyrie.
>Coming back after a long excursion to sell stuff
I love running around to 12 different vendors to sell all my stupidly expensive loot. It's great.

I love having my armory and all those hundreds of fucking clutter items I never wanted dumped into my cargo hold. It's great.
>is nice.
Yeah man. It's great. Comfy. Soulful. GOTYAY. All those things.
I love vendoring piles of redundant trash through console-optimized menus. Nothing like it. The best shit.
get the ui mod its surprisingly really complex and well done
and vendors not having enough and inventory and loot management has always been a thing. max I've seen is 11k credits per vendor which actually is a lot and more than enough for most loot hauls depending
>I love having my armory and all those hundreds of fucking clutter items I never wanted dumped into my cargo hold
Keeps happening with me too. Even if you clear all the clutter, often when you change something the game says "oh, you know all that default clutter, we're gonna pop it in your hold ok" even though you got rid of it all.
>Coming back after a long excursion to sell stuff and upgrade your ship is nice.

>slow to a crawl because I'm overencumbered

Yeah vendors need more money on them. Trade Authoriy have the most but still not enough.
I just fly the stock Vagabond when I'm cruising around and not in Crimson Fleet territory. Its the comfiest ship

>spent a bunch of time on outposts only to realize I can get resources through vendors instead and it's less of a hassle
Considering how pain in the ass getting perk points is, I feel you pain bro.
yeah I rerolled like 4 or 5 times before being perk efficient. I don't think the companions perks are working properly so you aren't missing on that but a lot of those science perks are for level 20+
I found the best beginning is to pick bounty hunter , get the mantis and level up piloting as well as persuade and lock picking .
haven't put any perks into guns or body yet , stealth and stealing are buggy and janky and not fun. you can be out of Los in a random closed room and get "caught" by someone 1 floor down in a different room. stupid shit. also stealing and getting caught makes your companions attack you randomly . stupid shit.
anyway I rushed piloting then the 2 perks on tier 3 that are for ship upgrades
Outposts still win on resources
Takes one outpost with with some extractors and sleeping 2 ingame days to never ahve to worry about a resource again
see pic rel, row in the back is literally just aluminum and iron
nice you can get a lifetime supply of iron and aluminum that's cool but where the FUCK do I find adhesive
not sure if there's a better way but i know you can loot if off aliens and maybe some plants. also the boring answer is vendors
Some cactuses on Gagarin if I remember right if you want to farm them, or if you are freindly with pirates you can go to Suvorov in Kryx, and there are beasts there that drop it.
You can get some skill for flora and fauna each and then grow those in outposts
some of those contain adhesive
on Bradbury-III for instance
how the fuck does all this settlement outpost crafting shit work?? I've yet to do it once
You find a planet that has resources you think you want and then scan it and try and land on the border of two biomes so you can get both at the same place. Then you build a pole and then extractors and cargo and pick from the few shitty building options you have fighting the atrocious console ui all the way and build benches and shit. Then you realise that you could just buy the shit you need instead of fucking around and you can't make anything comfy anyway and once again Bethesda has realised the worst possible implementation of a good idea and you go and play like rimworld or something instead.

Are all stolen ships bugged with not being able to rename them?
No, I renamed two of mine.
I guess it's random.
You need to press G to enter the rename dialog, and then you need to press G again to start editing.
No but one of my stolen ships decided to start flying away from me and going to the place I stole it. Only fix was renaming and moving some parts but it always came back. Had to sell it. Fair warning.

They need to add stairs instead of ladders
ONE of the massive bridge cockpits has TWO stairs leading down to the door.
I know of two big bridges one that requires a ladder but the interior looks great (Stroud) and the other that doesn't need a ladder (deimos) where do you get others?
That breaks immersion
The fuck are you talking about. If you had a free use jetpack in real life you'd be using it at every opportunity.
I wouldn't use it inside for fear of bumping my head and honestly you're missing the point I just would rather have stairs or an elevator so i can't have my bridge up high
It's Nova IIRC.
https://imgur.com/a/PsD02dF
But where do you buy it? I know you get the Stroud one at their staryard and dane for deimos at theirs but I haven't found any other staryards
Buy from the technician on Titan, in Sol.
Thanks I'll look in to it next time I play maybe I can finally get rid of that ladder. I love the look of the Stroud bridge but hat that you have to put a ladder to get to it hopefully someone mods in stairs or an elevator later
Which is that? I would very much like to have stairs to get around my ship and not have any ladders.
Apparently New Homestead in Sol but I haven't checked myself.
You can also just jump up using booster packs.

Why can't fly from planet to planet?

It's also shocking to me they still use Gamebryo. They could do much better with new (theirs) or just simply an existing engine of their choice.

In current era it kinda is.

Sure, but we're talking about walking on soil. And I imagine space boots are pretty thick, made out of something that absorbs vibrations well.
Ecohaul is the sexiest ship in the game
I upgraded it to 6000 cargo and upgraded everything on it
My only problem with it is that I need to jump an outer system to examine some distress signal but the shortest route is 22 light years away while I can only jump 19
GOD I HATE SCANNING FOR FISH!!!
just shoot them
It's just boring running along the edge of the water trying not to dip my toes in it so i don't get a horrible alien disease (and not to mention finding the fucking ocean, the amount of times I've landed in a coastal biome and not even seeing a fucking ocean, because the fucking ship decided to land in the middle of a fucking dessert instead of close to the water)
Does anyone else dislile how skills work? I think its weird you need to spend the same points to acquire it as you do to level it up. I wish it either took much longer to level us by using it (eg: craft mods) and it did it automatically or you had an entirely separate points value to level up skills you already own. How you get those points idk. Im just saying it feels weird to level up say handguns by defeating X people but dont get to benefits until you "waste" a level up point in actually leveling it
~player.addiperk [perk]
I don't usually do this in my first playthrough, but I've made an exception because they're wasting players' time on dumb shit again. Unless you're a console player, why stress yourself.
Same, I would've preferred harder challenges but you get the rank up automatically when you're done.
Favorite ship parts/equipment manufacturers? For me, it's Deimos. For that bulky, hard edged militaristic look. Stroud-Eklund are cool too, cause of their clean interiors, and simple lines. HopeDesign gays need not apply.
I'm all about Stroud Honestly love that sci fi look and their big bridge reminds me of Star Trek tng
The only think i dislike about them is the cockpit shape. It just looks like a turtle.
Isnt Hope supposed to be the poorfag choice? Like, they are the cheapo fags. Visited their base in Hopetown
Think they are space truckers
Yeah. All their ships are autistic about cargo. One of them literally called Big Rig
Deimos and Eklund best combo
>shield on top
>round engines on squareboi
Failed
It's from star wars you idiot.
yes, and episode 1 had no questionable or outright retarded designs, whatsoever.
>Star Destroyer
>Shields are on top
For me, it's Tayio Astroengineering and Dogstar.
Deimos, Stroud-Eckland, and Taiyo
I like nova galactic modules the best. The ceilings are noticably taller and the white interior make them less gloomy and cramped than other modules.
Hopetech has the comfiest captain's quarters, but Stroud-Ekland is the best for f l a t pancake ships with minimal ladders.
I am on Neptune's moon Triton. Lots of nose-ringed beauties here.
What missions are actually good? I've just been doing the constellation shit and I can feel my braincells committing sudoku
UC missions are good. The Terrormorph side. Start it by joining the Vanguard
Danke
The space batman armor looks like shit
Download a mod I made mine all black
still looks so goofy, all they needed to do was make a cool edgy black suit
Is it just me or does the game freeze a bit for everyone when you switch your weapon via hotkey?
It annoys me to no end, enemies always get a few shots on me when I have to switch from rifle to shotgun.
My PC isn't that shit, the worst component is the i7-10700K CPU.
Since this seems to be the least mentally ill Starfield thread, are the performance issues really that bad? I've got a 3060 Ti and 5600x. Can I get 1440p/60 with that without it looking like garbage?
Its dogshit. The only thing that helps is DLSS 3.0 mod. 40 series anons can get some good gains from that.
3060 to here as well I've been playing at 1080p and honestly the only time the game dips in frames are in the new Atlantis or akhila but it's not that bad plus there are mods to fix performance if it really bothers you other than that just the normal Bethesda jank
5600x and 6650
Solid 40-50 fps on all High at 1080
I don't think so. On my 3080 mobile I get between 35 and 45 fps on most settings except ultra which sinks it to under 30. videocardbenchmark.net gives the 3060ti a higher score (20600) than 3080 mobile (16623) but I don't think that's enough to reach 60 at 1440p.
Then you don't have max TPD 3080 mobile. Except for the city planets I have constant 70fps+ with my 3080 mobile, granted I use the DLSS mod and a mix between high and medium for settings not that important. 1440p.
Anyway it's a fucking joke that these morons haven't updated the game after more than a week with performance improvements.
I'm on a 3070, 11k i7 and 16gb ram. It runs at 60-70 on 1440. Turning down volumetric lighting helped me keep everything else on high setting.

Is Deimos the best place to pimp out your ride?
Deimos is all military, Stroud or ryujin is where you pimp your ride
What gameplay?
It's just mindless, casualized trash, I struggled to even stay awake when playing it
Glad I pirated
Having a hard time pushing through this slog and I usually bask in Bethesda's games.
>join the crimson fleet
>All pirates are now my friend, attacking them gets bounty
>no longer any enemies left in the game and you don't get exp for non violence so levelling has slowed to a crawl
fuck this poorly designed shit todd where's my ayy lmaos
Ecliptic and spacers are still your enemies.
You can finish the questline to go back to war with Crimson but siding with UC is omega gay.
>join the crimson fleet
>All pirates are now my friend, attacking them gets bounty
Pirates put bounty on you too? That is fucking lame.
All they had to do is add the transponder mechanic. Bountyless piracy at the cost of instant aggro from patrols.
>no longer any enemies left in the game and you don't get exp for non violence so levelling has slowed to a crawl
Even Varuun fellas?
Bounty is removed if you kill the last witness.
Even if you side with CF, there are Spacers and Ecliptic still roaming around. Va'Ruun are rare, most assume they're going to be more prominent in DLC.
>Bounty is removed if you kill the last witness.
So it's Skyrim's bounty system. Which is strange: I stumbled upon a UC Relay Station while exploring and robots guarding it attacked me and I gained a bounty for defending myself. But bounty remained after I killed all the robots. Maybe something bugged out.
Now, I haven't done any piracy yet, but that sounds lackluster. No jamming the comms and aforementioned transponder play. Shame.

Wow, thanks Starfield. Very exciting.

/stag/ feeling a little bit of an echo chamber that you had to make a coping thread, gay?
Is there any mod or tweak i can do so my walking speed is faster? It is ridiculously slow, I can't even catch up with walking npcs.
Caps lock?
That's jogging. I mean walking. Jogging makes you go too fast and i want my walk speed to match npc.
You have shift, which makes you run and consume O2, and caps lock that lets you toggle between walking fast and walking slow without consuming O2.
Thank you microsoft support, very helpful. So I'll assume no one made the mod and there isn't an .ini settings yet.
>do a hunt cultist mission
>open door to mine that has the target after clearing the outside
>after a few minutes of looting the begining are mission accomplished cultist destroyed
the only thing i can think of is my companion glitched out and killed them with the nades i had just given her so i took them off
So realistically, would you be able to hear gunfire and other sounds through your spacesuit in vaccuum? No air for sound to travel in vaccuum but there's air in your suit
I think that as long as you're not touching any surface, there's no way for the sound to reach you.
The problem ain't the lack of air, it's just that particles are just too sparse so there's nothing to vibrate and propagate the waves we interpret as sound.
If you touch the spaceship and something bumps it, you will hear it because you feel the vibration through the hull and it shakes the air inside your suit. There's little things to "shake" in space and they don't "bump" into the next thing because they're too far apart.
Suppose that makes sense. Still, considering making a mod that makes sound a bit muffled when you're in a spacesuit and wearing a helmet, just so that it actually feels like you are in a sealed suit.
Hahahaha UEaoegh haaaa HOUGHHH... Star.....chud? hahaha hehehehe. Bauldur's....GAY?! aahahahah! ABLOO AGHGAK!J GOO GOO GA GOOB! AHHAHA HEHEHEHE
Ok so there is barely any laser/electromagnetic weapons. Why even bother adding such category in the first place if there are no weapons for it.
Also, in every single dungeon I do I always fight humans, either spacers or pirates. Please tell me there is more to it, and later there will be some ruined labs with alien monsters or something
There are multiple rifles, pistols, and a minigun for lasers. I think there are at least four different EM weapons.
There few places with alien monsters, and hunting alien creatures on planet surface is the easiest way to farm XP, but apart from that, no. Also lots of robots and turrets.
woah, whole 4 guns. meanwhile ballistic gets like 40 unique weapons. mods cant come soon enough
Gameplay?
Tried to go for a space tomboy. Doing pistols only + persuasion (which hardly ever gets used, I should have known better).
does she have cute feet
>persuasion (which hardly ever gets used
>woo, extra 500 creds for StarParcel delivery
>woo, useless crew member for 50% off
It's always like this. I should be able to bullshit my way out of everything, damn it!
Damn, that's good. Colors are off, but good overall.
There's a few persuasion checks that come up but I've succeeded at like a third of them with zero points in it.
I've seen quite a few but of course the only somewhat useful one I failed the collector's ship
>It's always like this. I should be able to bullshit my way out of everything, damn it!
but anon you can literally bypass the final boss with a speech check
What's the strangest alien you guys have encountered? I found a very sexually dimorphic species, where one is a dino and the other is a tree.
I've only really gone to like 3 planets with aliens and they're all the same maybe a different color here or there.
Remember that episode where they flew into Arnold's asshole?
What about that episode where he takes his space helmet off on Pluto?
Rest in peace, my bro.
Where the fuck is the first patch at Todd?
>22 hours in
>level 17
>still hunting and scanning shit in Alpha Centauri system
>collect ammo like hamster, but use Cutter
I need help. I have some Va'Ruun ship as main.
Warning, if you're exploring every planet 1 by 1 you will quickly realize that all planets including ones with life reuse assets to an almost ridiculous degree, so much so I wished they had cut the amount of planets in half or even down to a quarter. You'll see repeating flora and fauna with color differences, and even repeating geophysical features. The reason I wish why they cut the amount of planets down is this would have allowed for planets with life to actually stay interesting, I hate landing on a planet, seeing the same tree asset I have seen for the 5th time with but red, and the same coral bug but green. I wanted to land on an alien world and be intrigued by strange plants and geological formations, everything just becomes bland.
>all these boring symmetrical ships
make them asymmetrical, they'll look so much more interesting.
I followed anon's advice and made the ship asymmetric.
>follow some contrarian Gankertards advice
>looks worse
its like pottery or sumink
mk3 - I want back to original design and replaced the part that was repeated too many times
If you guys didn't know the hopetech city sells 1x1 hab-spines that go both horizontal directions to connect pylons / wings.
Nova also does but I don't need any hab modules in the wing.
Do you tho?
>put engineering in the wing with a hab connector so a tech can go service the engines / shit
>ship is clearly alien / future tech
>government doesn't confront you at all, just lets you land
There should totally be a NG+ quest where the government tries to fuck with you unless you maintain a low profile (not using starborn ship or suit)
>put engineering in the wing with a hab connector so a tech can go service the engines / shit
He will fix it from the cockpit.
more like copetech
I wish I had something better to do than to play this horrible game. No system works well. There is no soul anywhere. It is just a husk of a game made exclusively to syphon money from retards like me. I hate my life.
This is exactly my sentiments too. I was hoping that this game would be like 7/10 at everything tries to do but it's just not.
Freestar collective is literally soul wtf? Im really liking the nasa cowboy aesthetic
CRUISIN' ON DOWN MAINSTREET
>have all the skills to build a fuckhuge class C
>like my blue comet too much

>tcl up to to see the path
>TODDED
I feel bad for anyone playing this on console.
markers are really fucking weird in this game. It'll say the obj is right above you, but what it really means is you need to get in an elevator. It's really noticeable when you're in the Crimson fleet and trying to find Delgado on the Key
Seriously I had to use tcl 6 times now
Man he must've really got high.
which cockpit has the best interior?
so far I just like the nova cause I dont know
The ships all look like ass because the pieces are modular boxes so everything looks like fucking lego omfgwtf
That is my problem with the shipbuilding as well. Nothing can be sleek. Everything looks like a stack of shipping containers with rocket boosters welded on.
There are structural parts just to give that finishing touch. Curves, wings that sort of stuff. Not everything is a square.
I see, thanks.
>There are structural parts just to give that finishing touch. Curves, wings that sort of stuff. Not everything is a square.
But what about on the inside? You can't have a big cool room with curved walls. Think of the big command centre in the Normandy, for example.
Pictures you can hear
comfy
I know there are curved cockpits. I'll have to play more to see what's available for the hull.
The cockpits get to be curved because they protrude from the end and aren't required to fit into the grid system except on a single side. Everything else is a 1x1/2x1/3x1 cuboid unit that can connect in six different directions to any other habitat module.
Speaking of which. How do you escape missile locked onto you. I'm so confused at the warning because there are no flares. Am i supposed to barrel roll?
boosting breaks lock on
where's them ships?
>ground combat
>all you need is rank 4 is either energy or ballistic and you are good to go
>ship combat
>you need max piloting/shield/ship design at the minimum
I guess not able to simply loot good ship is pain in the ass
just started and im probably going to be playing a lot. is there anything to the whole NG+ thing people talk about? im thinking about just rushing to NG+ then starting my real playthrough there where i ignore the campaign.
The interesting stuff from NG+ comes from doing numerous cycles (you can get through the main quest much more quickly in subsequent runs) - if you rushed to NG+, then parked yourself there and did all the non-campaign stuff, you'd kind of be getting the worst of both worlds.
I would suggest you ignore NG+ to start with, and clear out your first game, do all the side stuff you're interested in doing, pile up money and do your outposts and neat ships and level all the skills you care about, and when there's nothing else left to do then you can "retire" it by going into NG+, and at the point just keep running through repeated NG+ cycles and discovering what interesting stuff you could find.
Alternatively you could do it the other way round, do nothing but repeated NG+ bumrushes until you decide it's time to settle down and explore everything else, but you'd not have seen as much of the world to get a sense of what might change and if you decided you were getting a bit bored of the NG+ stuff and wanted to try some side content you'd feel like you had to either stop doing NG+ or lose everything you got from the side content.
thanks anon ill just go with the flow then
Have fun
also in NG+ if you plan on taking your time and staying in that particular run its better to repeat the main quest instead of skipping since you get more stuff in the form of unique loot and stuff, more potential things from the constellation related quests you don't get if you skip the main quest.
and only choose to skip the main quest if you know for a fact your gonna just bumrush all the temples and head to next one
As usual it's people making a mountain out of a molehill.
99% of the game is still identical to vanilla and it's not worth gathering the tedious artifacts and temples for slightly stronger powers. I've seen people claim that random NPCs are different but I've yet to see anything other than constellation related stuff change.
I've been playing Bethesda games since Oblivion, I sunk maybe 800h into modding and playing Skyrim to the limit. And at this point, I think Bethesda needs to drop the "you can pick up stuff and move it around and the game remembers where it is" thing. It holds the engine back and kills performance, while being a detail that doesn't actually improve the game.
I'd like the interactivity if it actually improved the gameplay experience. But Beth games aren't about object puzzles like Lara Croft games or physics like Tears of the Kingdom. Oblivion wasn't, Skyrim wasn't, Fallout wasn't, and Starfield isn't. The object physics gimmick doesn't really improve or affect the core gameplay. Nobody's going to spawn 200 boxes of milk through console commands, watch them fall on the floor with each box having its own physics, and say "wow this really improves the game." It doesn't. It's a gimmick with a half-hearted implementation and 0 gameplay opportunities to show it off, and there are tons of open world games that don't have this gimmick and nobody complains. If you think Skyrim would have been ruined if you couldn't pick up a tomato and throw it into a puddle of water, you're lying and you know it.
Make it an actual part of the game, make it matter. If you won't, remove it. Removal could improve the game's performance and turn it into something smoother and less janky, without really losing anything in terms of story or gameplay or atmosphere. A good compromise could be keeping this interactivity only for certain object types like weapons and food.
Fighting on zero g with shit flying around was cool as fuck though. I don't think being lazy and removing it is the answer.
This
I was surprised they put this much effort into the 0g shit
Yesterday I stumbled upon a derelict freighter, the gravity would go on and off every couple of seconds, shit was fun
>Wanted to just be a pirate

I saw a Saul one too kek. I wish I was food to make Tuco or Lalo
*good
This thing is fucking insane. I just walked up to a lvl 75 giga bro with four health bars and melted him in a second.
I actually just switched back to my Grendel I got at level 4 (I'm lvl 48 now) because I want to actually have some challenge.
>firing 20 bullets to do the damage of one
Do mag guns count as firearms or laser weapons?
I dunno I never specced any combat skills.
Nice, I haven't gotten lucky enough to get a high rarity sniper rifle.
Based stealth sniper chad
Here are my current trusty rifles
How did you get your carry weight that high?
those two are stored on my ship kek, I'm currently using the cold war era sniper rifle (third pic)
I've been using this fucker for so long, everything else feels like piss compared to it except for the magstorm
Is there a way to make a 'shortlist' for locations you want to travel to? I keep forgetting what fucking planet Neon's on, and it's not like in Skyrim where you can look at the 'layout' of the world underneath, they're all just white fucking dots on a black screen.
If you look at the map every system with a city has an icon above it, and a different icon for systems with an outpost you created.
Fuck me, I'm a retard.
Thank you.
man this game is making me want to learn how to mod. there's so much little shit i want to add like spooky sounds in the caves with a buffed up dangerous alien creature in it.
Chameleon armor is fucking hilarious. Coupled with a stealth build, I can just crouch in front of anyone and murder them flat.
Watching the planetrise from a moon is fucking kino.
that is one zesty looking ass gas giant
Katydid system if you want to visit it.
Can you only create weapon and suit mods at the lodge? I know you can “research” stuff on your ship, but I can’t find anywhere to actually apply them to your guns/suit
Add a Workshop 2x1 Hab to your ship for those benches.
Thanks
Can I grab one at a shop upgrade vendor? Maybe I’m retarded but ship building is not that easy, so I just grab the auto upgrades
You have to do build mode to change hab modules. Get a 2x1 workshop for weapon, suit and industrial wrokbenches on ship. Infirmary or science module for pharma and research. All-in-one or living for galley and bed. Engineering modules to increase crew stations.
go into the lodge basement
Why do all ships look like if they were made of boxes
Because they are.. well most of them
>dropping an item from your inventory on a moon with 0.02G and it just slowly falls, then slo-mo bounces off the ground
I love this game.
I landed on a moon and another ship landed nearby. Went to go check it out, Spacer ship. Killed some guys on the ground then the ship took off. The wake from the take-off thrusters blasted the dead bodies into orbit
Yesterday I was scavenging and exploring some lone planet in a white dwarf star system with 0.06G
Eclipse bounty hunters tracked me down in an outpost (I picked the trait that puts a strange bounty on your head)
I killed the last one by blasting his jet pack, he fucking flew really far into the sky, looney tunes style lol
I wish I recorded this shit
This is good way to get new improved ships for free without having to do space combat. OFten when you land somewhere, a ship will touch down nearby. Sometimes you can take them, other times its says you're not authorised. I got a C-class ship withut even having to fight because it was a UC ship, and they just let me take it with no penalty for some reason.
>just unlocked the oxygen power
can I just ignore carry weight now? the inventory management in this game is giving me a fucking headache
Not ignore, but yeah, I only ever use Personal Atmosphere
I present to you, the Infinite Carry Build (it actually does work)
the assisted carry is pretty god tier
Legendary shit are a fucking mistake
So how much kg can you carry that the game allows? Over 9000?
yes you can carry infinite items. you cant die from running out of breath. you slow down a little and your vision is blurry and red but thats it. there are perks for increasing your carry limit but that is a joke as you might imagine.
That's insane, convenient, and fucking stupid at the same time. Nice. 🙂
Does that stack past 100%? Do you actually gain 02 when running while encumbered?
IT'S UP
>go to random system, a guy in a ship invites me onboard to give me ship parts and celebrate his wedding?

I think your companions immediately hate you and leave you if you do shit like that which is fucking retarded also every remotely important npc is invulnerable and unkillable
There are some companions/followers that don't care about anything you do
Adoring fan, Mathias from Crimson Fleet, also a girl from the crimson fleet, and also Vasco
only the constellation crewmembers have an affinity and likes/dislikes
all others are basically mute robots that make a random comment when you pick up something or they kill something once in a blue moon and will stick with you no matter what you pick
Thats a lie i picked up 3 ranodoms marika from new atlantis coffee house some ganger from neon and some other drug addict from neon.
Only the druggy sticks around during murder sprees.
Fucking gangmember hates murder such bullshit.

I can't be bothered making a proper spaceship so now my Frontier looks like this. It gets the job done
Get the Razorleaf asap
You get it during at the end of the Mantis quest, the quest or dungeon in itself is pretty great as well
I got the Razorleaf but I ended up butchering it trying to add more cargo space so I gave up and threw some more onto the Frontier.
>the quest or dungeon in itself is pretty great as well
it was okay I guess. Walk through some tunnels and kill spacers, find out Mantis was a dumb bitch who got her dumb son killed by not turning off the house alarm.
I'm just rushing through all the story content in this game until I join the Crimson Fleet tbh. Did UC Vanguard & Ryujin and currently on Freestar Ranger, nothing's been great so far.
Vanguard quests lead to pirate, you should have got a mission called Deep Cover
Anons, I have a stupid question.
How can I see this info because I can't seem to find it? I want to know what materials are used to build structures on planets / moons that can withstand temperatures of 450+ degrees Celsuis, as seen in the game. Also, what the fuck is raining and what are those oceans in temp conditions of minus 70 degrees? Liquid methane?
Also, how come my spacesuit can withstand those temperatures (I get slight probs on cold planets and moons, but not hot ones) but if I set foot into cold lake my character freezes? Is the lake even colder than the average temp on those cold planets?
Adaptive frames.
Is Depleted Uranium or Penetrator rounds better to choose for sniper mods?
i know it hasnt been very long but i wish the more ambitious/creative mods would come out already
creation kit officially releases next year. It's gonna be a long time.
Is Starfield like the first Borderlands where you can go really far out of the way into secret areas and find alien weaponry?
There are no sapient aliens.
How is it that in their games about post-nuclear fallout America they ALWAYS make sure aliens re there in the game, but in a fucking game about space travel and exploration where one of the key themes is about figuring out "what's out there" they don't put in a SINGLE sapient alien? Why the fuck are they so useless god damn it.
Fallout is comedic in tone. Starfield isn't.
Aliens aren't comedic unless you write them that way. That answer has nothing to do with anything.
Wtf do I need to do to add the C rank weapons to my ship? is this the "piloting" skill to fly C rank ships??
Starship design skill.
Ship class is determined by reactor class, you need a C-class reactor to get any C parts. Also need piloting skill too.
Bro I'm so fucking confused. So you need to dump 8 points total to use C class weapons?
4 into piloting 4 into starship design?
I thought piloting was just to fly C class ships, irrelevant to the parts??3
Each part has its own requirement for starship design - Some C parts only require piloting and not starship design.
You dont need level 4 design, just whatever the parts require. Need 4 in piloting to fly a C-class.
If I kill a civilian and nobody sees me, will that affect my ''karma'' and turn me into a wanted man? I took Space Scoundrel as background, but I've never stolen a sigle item from people. Not visible, I mean. And I really want to kill those reporters.
type caqs in the console
If you dont actually care much for the ship combat, this general layout will make your life easier. Enemies shots lock onto the center of the ship, which is empty space...
you can do some pretty cool shit with the ships
Wait a minute, that ship...
That ship is fucking awesome anon
YOU'RE breathtaking anon!
I'm 20 hours in and I still have no idea how to build ships
Go to any city and talk to technician. He's usually near the landing zone.
You need perks dont bother
>You need to play the game don't bother
Ship building is the only thing worth dumping perk points in outside of unlocking basic mechanics like sneak and lockpicking.
which perks?
You will need piloting skill to fly higher class ships, and some stronger parts require some levels in starship design
I only started properly around 60 hours in, only upgrading some weapon or shield here and there
You get a lot more choices later on, but Id start early to get a feel
I got a free ecliptic stiletto ship because when I got inside the ship to kill them they took off and I had to steal it to get back
I just saw that star systems have set levels. does this game seriously not have level scaling?
does the game have skin tight spacesuits?
Nope it's all pretty bulky.
trash game
Nononono you don't understand it's NASAPUNK, every spacesuit HAS to look like some dogshit from 1999.
the sleekest are the NG+ armors, but they have shit stats, count as both a helmet and a pack, and get covered up by a trash rag if you do too many NG+ cycles
Can you repaint armors? Not sure how I feel about that baby blue.
no, but you get different colors depending on what NG+ youre in, some are covered up by the trashbag though
>Apex star traveler dimension-hopper is a hobo wearing a trash bag
What did Bethesda mean by this and what did the homeless guy outside their studios give to Todd?
Its straight destiny gear shit of wearing astrotechsuit behind a crappy wizard robe
>advertise game as a hard science NASApunk™ space simulator
>its actually about destiny space wizards playing multidimensional fortnite to further power up their midichlorian levels so they can frag out harder in the next universe
kinda funny
Wait the snake cult dlc that is related to the starborn shit 100%
Nasapunk refers to the artstyle (clearly functional vs all about style), not the lore or themes
you brainlet
>advertised as hard science
literally not once, they literally say that between realism, sim, and action they go for "what is fun"
go ahead and watch the direct, seems like its tailored to your mental deficiencies
Don't bother, these manbabies are more obssesed with what they wanted the game to be than what Todd or the dev team said it would be.
I really just wanted Skyrim in space, and so far it's not delivering
Anon, that's exactly what it is. People are complaining mostly because its just Skyrim in space and not Elite Dangerous.
>People are complaining mostly because its just Skyrim in space
People are complaining it's worse than even FO4
>People are complaining it's worse than even FO4
Which, as shown earlier in this thread, it objectively isn't.
WOW, I WALKED FORWARD AND HIT INTERSTING LOCATION, SKYRIM EXPLORATION IS SO COOOOOOL
Imagine thinking that constitutes compelling exploration. You're as retarded as the Fallout 4 guy kek
It's better than just fast traveling between procedurally generated planets? Again, it's not that earlier Bethesda games were amazing, it's that Starfield is worse, and you're not even trying to present an affirmative case for it being better
Its worse at crafting with all that stupid requirements and how annoying is mining
All you showed us earlier in the thread is that you're an insufferable sperg
See how you couldn't counter my argument and just spat insults? Because you have no counter arguments lel
Unfortunately you can't fix bad taste anon, I can't help your smooth brain if you find pressing w for hours and finding another Draugur dungeon interesting
What do you like about Starfield? I keep asking, and you keep dodging the question
Fun quests with interesting world building and often multiple outcomes.
Improved Persuasion that isn't just "have SPEECH 90 or more"
Shipbuilding is incredibly addicting
Outpost building is more intuitive, more in-depth, and more rewarding since outposts don't look like shanty towns
Traits let you roleplay more easily even without a class system like Morrowind or Oblivion
Worldbuilding is also pretty deep and interesting. Feels like a REAL world.
Towns are actually huge and feel like something you can get lost in.
Lots of things anon, lots of things.
Persuation its still the 100% conversation fail rng check of fallout 3 instead of choosing speech carefully
The actual words you choose matter a ton though; it's not just completely random even with no points. You have to think about what the character you're talking to would be amenable to.
Choosed green sometimes and failed reloaded and choose yellow and worked
Yeah, its partially chance based (so skills can influence) but the base chance is dependent on what you actually say. Bringing up charity to a greedy vendor has a low base; bringing up how no one else is gonna but this junk is higher. Both are still chance based.
the colors is just there for tone, you can pick all green in a convo and have it fail because that wasn't shit that works for the guy you're trying to persuade.
>Fun quests
Writing literally worse than Fallout 4, you have shit taste.
>Improved persuasion
Shitty gamified dice rolling where the reactions to your dialogue options make no sense, Oblivion did it better
>Shipbuilding
Don't get too attached before ng+ :>)
>Outposts
Somehow even less useful than Fallout 4 encampments
>Traits
Remember the Adoring Fan?? Nostalgia!
>Worldbuilding
Genuinely fucking awful, painfully generic scifi shit. Morrowind's psychedelic fantasy and Fallout's pre-Bethesda lore run circles around Starfield
>Towns are huge
Actual lol, they're Skyrim villages crowded with generic NPCs. You get lost because there's no map and the compass is shit
You didn't even play the game, you're just trying to troll Bethesda fans. I bet your favorite YouTuber had to tell you to hate Fallout 4 because it came out when you were 8
>Actual lol, they're Skyrim villages
t. doesnt get to the well district often
>Writing literally worse than Fallout 4, you have shit taste.
No, nothing can be worse than Fallout 4 in this regard. Fallout 4 famously has the "WE ARE REPLACING HUMANS WITH SYNTHS. WHY? IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN".
There is not a single well written or engaging quest in Fallout 4. That is not an exaggeration.
>Shitty gamified dice rolling where the reactions to your dialogue options make no sense, Oblivion did it better
They do make sense; they depend on the person you're talking to's personality.
>Don't get too attached before ng+ :>)
That doesn't negate their fun tho'. I can choose to not do NG+ anytime and still have fun.
>Somehow even less useful than Fallout 4 encampments
This is just a lie, my guy.
>Remember the Adoring Fan?? Nostalgia!
Still more than Fallout 4 had? And they do actually have a gameplay and dialogue impacts.
>Fallout's pre-Bethesda lore run circles around Starfield
We're discussing Bethesda games, specifically Fallout 4, which has dogshit lore from a Fallout perspective.
>Actual lol, they're Skyrim villages crowded with generic NPCs.
Akila city is larger than any of the biggest cities in Skyrim my guy. That's not an opinion; that's just reality.
>You didn't even play the game
Oh great, I trigged you so hard you're using MY insult kek. Glad to know you're butt-blasted though.
Honestly if they'd have reused updated Morrowind assets for the planets it would have been an improvement. All the aliens feel the same and aren't very alien esque. They are either cattle or wolves from Skyrim. The quests are okay, but 90% of the time pretty bland and often don't make much logical sense. Especially the faction quests are imo, pretty medicore. I hardly get to know my compatriots since they are shallow as hell and most of the side characters don't have their own quests. Riyuin could have been great but instead it's a bunch of hackor bullshit that is all tell no show.
>Sabotage an entire essembly line
Doesn't matter lmao
>2nd in command hax0rz her way into the system
Just trust me she's that good bro, she elite hacker yo even though you never see her do anything like it
Also that Veena or w/e the fuck she is is the most annoying character I've ever met and I am 100% confident its some pajeet bitch her self insert.
Well there are people who wanted it to be Elite Dangerous who are mad that it's just a Bethesda game, but they were delusional from the beginning. I just wanted a new Bethesda RPG, and I'm disappointed that the exploration kind of sucks and the quests so far have been boring. Hoping it picks up eventually
>the quests so far have been boring
Quests are already better than Fallout 4s and better than any of the non-Daedric quests of Skyrim (Skyrims quests were also mostly dogshit).
What quests have you liked? Is there a good chain of sidequests I've missed?
Freestar Rangers is pretty fun and gives some good RP opportunities (you can even reference your Ranger status in some non-Ranger quests and events)
Is killing good guys fun?
It can be
Jesus that looks bad. When you said covered up by a rag, I imagined something like the Fallen Knight set in Dark Souls 3 or Master Chief in his desert poncho to go for a vagrant wander look. I do not understand the reflective apron.
Dont worry there sre moda already to remove the retarded robe
>Master Chief in his desert poncho
Remember when retards were having a hissy fit about this when first shown? Probably the only example of 343 having some sense of "coolness" within them.
So is this suit the best in the game? It can be upgraded like others and comes with cool perks?
theyre actually garbage because they take up your helmet, armor, and pack slots, so you only have 3 traits instead of 9. youd only want it for fashion
Its best to restart in higher difficulty the suit its just a full legendary suit that takes all slot except clothing but if you got decent legendary effect armor slots thats gonna be better
No its terrible, It takes up all 3 slots and you can get better defense from 3 separate parts you can find as soon as you start killing some enemies, its just something to roleplay with I guess. I would actually prefer if you started with literally nothing at all. You are bein destroyed and reborn, you should start naked on a planet somewhere. I ean who is even making all these starborn suits and ships, it makes no sense at all.
Thats gonna be dlc varuun sect shit or not explained
Hope the DLC goes into the creators a bit, but probably won't. Suppose its best left mysterious rather than some bullshit they would come up with.
I'm on 20th NG+, and this NPC appeared right at the start, has no name, only "???"
Holy shit, for real?
Kill him
you wouldn't dare
WTF
he looks just like Todd
Are there any suits that are references to other games like fallout or doom?
you can do a pretty decent doomguy cosplay
No that will be creation club paid content

i just want crisp image quality, but todd won't let me
>actual gameplay thread
should I actually rush for NG+ like some people said?
Bear in mind ng+ crazy shit require sacrifice all your gear and progress for a cool armor and croissant ship
Do you get better croissants every NG+ like with the armor or is it the same one every time?
Yeah, you get chocolate croissants at ng+10
Yes but tbh the croissant weapons damage and no customization sucks the ship only has big shields and cargo sice besides all space cops saying WOW COOL SHIP
is that really all you get?
You are starting again in a new universe. You keep your skills and knowledge, and get a basic armor and ship that is mostly useless. What you get is mainly the chance to get more powers. I am findin git fun to start with nothing and have to build up again to get to the next universe. Adn then when I've had enough of that, I will settle down near an coean somewhere and ponder.
Persuasion is bullshit
>yo we just met but give me the code for the bank vault
>come on guy give me the code
>seriously dude just give me the damn code
>OK HERE YOU GO STRANGER
I failed every persuastion so far. So, 5 of them I think. Maybe bribe will help me in the future?
I just mean the application of it is bullshit. There are situations when it just doesn't make sense that you could persuade them at all. You couldn't persuade some total stranger in real life to do some of the things you can in game.
Persuasion is baldurs gate but you cant save scum inside conversation
Wait until you combine it with manipulation.

I had to fuck with it for two hours just to get it to a place that I could navigate. And it only mostly works because of the hallways from Nova Galactic/homestead.
You know, anons. I'm actually thinking about trying Death Stranding after I spend 200+ hours in Starfield.
I hate the ship builder. It's so difficult to create a decent looking ship, and the controls are so fucking clunky because they were obviously designed with controllers at the forefront.
skill issue
looks like shit
just like most of the ships in this game
post your ship tough guy.
Already got about 30 hours on it because I have no life. Have done main quest and side stuff. Didn't pirate it, paid the full amount for early access. And I'll tell you straight up it's a massive disappointment. First of all it just feels too similar to Fallout 4 and 76. You can immediately tell it's essentially the same game with a new setting. Shooting feels better but enemies are incredibly easy. They barely react. "Exploration" is almost nonexistent. It's not open world. You just load from instance to instance over and over. Story is incredibly overhyped and boring. It doesn't really evolve as you play. Overall the whole game is boring. I've never felt so aimless in a Beth game before. You honestly just stop giving a fuck because it's this drab back and forth with nothing of consequence. Character creator is good imo, builds are shit. The stuff you pick doesn't feel impactful in general gameplay at all. Space flight is absolute shit. You can't really explore space at all. The dialogue is the standard quippy modern fair. NPCs look awful as usual. Many locations are empty "mobs spawn here" zones with nothing much else. It's just a very bland game.
Starfield really does feel like Fallout 4 in "space" but it's just far more empty, generic and boring. There's nothing new here. I'll keep playing but overall I'm very let down because the game just isn't what they pretended it to be. It could literally be a Fallout 4 mod. I'm actually having buyers remorse but I'm honest at least.
don't care didn't lol
didn't read any of this shite either
>It's not open world. You just load from instance to instance over and over.
Literally Oblivion and Morrowind as well. Interiors being instanced is the same thing.
oblivion and morrowind have a single large world to explore
>Starfield really does feel like Fallout 4 in "space" but it's just far more empty, generic and boring.
This is how I know you didn't play it. There is no way on Earth ANYONE could like Fallout 4 or find it more fun than Starfield. There isn't a single likeable or fun thing in Fallout 4. Nothing.
Eh, I'm not that far in Starfield yet, but I like the VATS-boosted combat in Fallout better than the below-average Starfield gunplay. The Fallout universe is more interesting, and the exploration is less tedious. I dunno if i'd call Fallout 4 an objectively better game, but I liked it more than I'm liking Starfield now
Once you get more powerful its great. Jetpacking into an enemy base, gravity blasting their asses, hovering in the air with slow mo aiming, raping them with magshot rifle
>VATS-boosted combat in Fallout
Literally playing the game for you. Holy shit, you're opinion is garbage.
>the exploration is less tedious
There is, without exaggeration, NOTHING worth exploring in Fallout 4. Nothing.
You have unironic shit taste. You probably consider Borderlands and Grand Theft Auto the peak of gaming.
Is there anything worth exploring in Starfield? Honest question, I hope there is, but I haven't found it yet, and the heavily menu-based travel feels like it disincentivizes you from even trying. I haven't found anything even half as interesting as a Fallout vault, which isn't a particularly high bar to clear
I only ever see fags posting screenshots of the same three ruined skyscrapers on Earth.
Again you reveal yourself, as Fallout 4 has notoriously boring vaults. Starfields random generated planet squares can be pretty boring, but you do have some nice hand crafted locations and cities to mess around in. Fallout 4 has one tiny ass village and literally nothing else. The vaults suck. The buildings suck.
Literally EVERYTHING about Fallout 4 is worse. It's a dogshit game. You don't have to like Starfield, but saying Fallout 4 is better than it in any capacity is just a braindead take.
Yeah I really don't understand the fallout 4 shill wave lately
This is still my biggest disappointment in gaming ever to this day
One fucking city only, "just build the cities for us bro!"
Abysmal main story that has a bullshit urgency to it, didn't make me want to do questing and exploring since "URGENCY YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR SON ASAP"
Forgettable characters, forgettable everything
Starfield isn't perfect by any mean but it is MUCH better than Fallout 4 overall
Its unironically a Snoy argument to try and sound legitimate while mindlessly hating the game "Oh well its just Fallout 4 but worse" makes it sound like you did play the game even if you hadn't and are just trolling.
I don't think the Fallout 4 vaults were particularly great, but I've found literally nothing in Starfield that I care about at all. It just sounds like you have a pathological thing about Fallout, and have at it, but that doesn't make Starfield less boring
>you have a pathological thing about Fallout
New Vegas and Fallout 3 (to a lesser extent) are great. Fallout 4 has a shit-ass story, shit-ass exploration, shit-ass characters, shit-ass side quests, ABSOLUTELY FUCK AWFUL BUIDLING. Starfield improved on these in every capacity.
Which doesn't matter, since anything worse exploring is behind a loading screen. Which makes the open world pointless since its not actually seamless towards the areas that matter.
In Skyrim, you have to walk from point A to point B through the open world, at least the first time. You have to explore to do anything. You find things you weren't looking for organically.
In Starfield, all of the traveling is in menus. You have no incentive to land on planets that don't have quest markers. I've tried, and they just seem to be boring, procedurally-generated balls of nothing except resources I don't need. The sense of exploration is gone. If an NPC doesn't tell you "hey, go here to find some handcrafted content", you're not going to find it
>In Starfield, all of the traveling is in menus.
You haven't played the game.
>You have no incentive to land on planets that don't have quest markers.
You haven't played the game.
>I've tried, and they just seem to be boring, procedurally-generated balls of nothing except resources I don't need.
You haven't played the game.
You haven't played the game.
You're out of your mind if you don't think the game has obscene menu bloat. It's worse than MGS5 or Monster Hunter.
It has menu bloat, but not all traveling is menus. You can do basically everything outside of menus besides planet landing.
You can technically fast travel to planets without opening the menu, but it's not really better, and if you basically need to open the menu unless you've got a quest marker or you're just fucking around to random planets. It's not really at all comparable to exploring in other Bethesda games
>but it's not really better
It's faster if you got a good grav drive and more immersive. It's the recommended way to travel for a reason.
>comparable to exploring in other Bethesda games
You say that as if they were much better than just holding the w key until you hit the next checkpoint and interior loading screen.
Holding w in Skyrim or Fallout 4 led you past all sorts of interesting map locations you might want to check out. You get basically none of that in Starfield. If you pass by a planet on your way to a quest marker, you have to manually pull up the planet menu to even see if there's anything worth checking out on the planet, and you stop doing that pretty quickly when you realize it's just a bunch of procedurally generated ruins and outposts
I have played the game, and you're not even trying to make an argument.
You haven't played the game either.
lol now this is cope
>If an NPC doesn't tell you "hey, go here to find some handcrafted content", you're not going to find it
I found a few derelicts in space that had no quest markers that was pretty interesting to learn about
The guy you're responding to didn't play the game.
Yes, Starfield has quite good random encounters out in space leading to interesting side quests
The quests are the most fun part. If you fly around you'll get gently nudged into them.
There are random unrelated places on planets too. I just ran into Sonny di Falco's island which was a neat change of pace for a dungeon.
Those are mindbroken snoys, ignore them.
You missed that every named NPC is essential. It's actually worse than Fallout 4 in this regard.
download the seinfeld mod
I love my wife.
Somthing the game doesn't tell you I only juts found out, you can boost forwards with your pack. If you assign a key to the jump alt binding, it boosts you forwards rather than up...really the game should tell you this because it makes a huge difference to travelling
The whole Crimson Fleet questline was no joke 80% using menus and loading screens to fast travel, dock, undock, talk to NPCs and I fucking hated it. Is the rest of the game like this?
Yes
That's the whole game. Space travel feels AWFUL, especially if you don't have the fuel to make it in one jump

What a thrill
60 hours in, I'm done with almost all of the faction storylines. I actually really enjoy the game so far, and even the main story isn't complete shit
Is there any list of the interesting NG+ worlds, or is it really just a handful? I remember people talking about the murdered-constellation universe, the universe where you run into yourself, and the universe where constellation was bought out before you even got there. Anything else interesting besides universes with race-swapped NPCs?
There is one were constellation have the same face as you KEK, not adam jensen daughter become a huntress,etc
there is an alternate universe where New Atlantis lies in ruins, smoke and fires everywhere, not one NPC in sight not kidding
That's already been debunked. Someone was just using screenshots from a UC Vanguard mission where a terrormorph attacks new atlantis
Fuck i want it
So should I rush the ending or not? I feel like it's pointless to do side quests before ng+, but I also feel like it I lose all my shit and start over, I'll just lose interest
You guys DO have a gun worth over 100k credits, right?
>that puny DPS
>100k
I wouldn't use it if you paid me 500k.
>he doesn't know about Annihilator Rounds
Enlighten me.
Poison AoE, it's absolute brutal boarding ships. I'm also pretty sure it's impacted by the furious stat, since it ramps up the more hits delivered.
that rifle does more damage per shot than my advanced shotgun with slugs
Instead of trying to imitate the perfection with your puny slugs, actually try sniper rifles.
my advanced hard target does 426 damage with 5 rounds, totalling 2160 per mag, which is less than half of the dps per mag with that rifle
>4580 dmg in one mag
This screenshot alone encapsulates the entire game's writing
lemme guess, you need more?
Not enough vendors sell ammo for it

What skills/weapons to rush for to make Very Hard tolerable early game?
The one that makes medkits heal more. Early game veryhards just bulletsponge with no ammo since it took 3-4 reloads to kill a guy and that goes away pretty quick as someone whose been playing its its not worth starting on veryhard. Do normal up it when combat feels too easy.
I don't have the game. Do you keep leveling up and getting new perk points in NG+, or is there a max you hit and you're always locked out of certain things on that character?
Theres literally no slutmog at all in this game, i got 3 women on my ship and i cant undress them and i cant dress them up in some slutty space wear.
Currently wearing some neon skirt and that one with tight spandex, its not enough though. Otherwise im enjoying the game.
Should I download some of the qol mods before going into this game for the first time or do I play as it is when it's installed?
what all do you lose when you go into NG+
ships?
Ships and items.
UI mod looks very nice though I failed to get it to work.
including credits?
Yes, including credits.
Yep yoj re poor again funny latest starborn suit upgrade in ng+10 you look like a daft punk hobo
Your inventory, property sex partner
What i enjoyed about fallout was that i was able to undress and position dead women around, like if i was ambushed by bandits i would kill them and undress them and maybe bend them over a table.
I would take out my cock and pump myself into a frenzy head rping im raping dead or unconcious women, i could do this in Skyrim as well. I enjoy starfield however its just missing some key ingredients i enjoy about bethesda jank rpgs.
Where's .40mm ammo for the launchers or whatever
