Starfield Interview with Todd

*Space radio is confirmed, but it's only in one localized area.

*Stolen ships can be modified. But they must be registered first in order to do that.

*Deeper Ship building is meant to be more of a late game system, but basic changes aren't.

*No performance mode.

*Todd says that there will be sidequests that aren't simply "kill ten things, get item, turn in for reward".

*Todd says that he thinks Starfield will be a "modders paradise".

*Outposts is another "deep system" like more advanced ship building. You can start up quick outposts, but the more intricate "and go crazy" parts are later game. You can create resources and trade routes with them. They are an economy generator.

*No fishing

*Only about 10% of planets have life on them

*Idea is for rapid exploration on planets. Planets will have procedurally generated locations on them but not many, "get in, explore, get out."

*Suits are important to dealing with the various biomes, and planets have "traits"

*If you fully scan a planet, that information is worth a lot of money and you can sell that.

*Hostile alien creatures and docile alien creatures. They can attack one another.

*No vehicles. Just boostpack.

*You can play the game without having companions following you around, and the standard "follower did not like that" mechanism is in

*Only four romance options, the four main Constellation ones

*Technically enough robot companions to crew your ship with just robots

    more info

    - Some planets have one biome, some have a LOT of biomes per planet.

    - Creatures can fight each other, you will see it - one of the development problems has been aggressive high level creatures killing off all other creatures on a planet.

    - There is a trait and skills for playing solo, so you can play without companions.

    - You can assign companions to ships you're not using (or dismiss them)

    - All the ships in the game are built using the built in ship editor - anything you see, you can build too.

    - Pass on answering if there's black holes in the game.

      A hundred star caps says a black hole is going to be used to reach the mysterious alien race, it's a huge scifi cliche after all

    *sigh* alright let's unpack this.

    >Space Radio
    I don't know why anyone would care. Maybe someone specifically asked and they picked this up because they actually had a feature they could flaunt?
    >Stolen ships
    No comment, I'm expecting this to be basically skyrim horses.
    >Ship building
    "More of a late game system" = they have (how many player houses were there in skyrim) number of styles you can switch between. "Basic changes" = you can change the weapon loadout and max speed slightly
    >No performance mode
    Duh, console players will eat anything
    >Sidequests
    We haven't had "kill ten rats" sidequests seriously in 20 years, empty talk. Quests will still be "go to x do basic mechanic"
    >modders paradise
    I genuinely hope he is not lying here. They will probably go for paid mods bullshit agian though.
    >Outposts
    Same as ships. Skyrim houses/Fallout 4 settlements, 95% sure
    >no fishing
    bah
    >planets
    No high hopes here, expecting lighter Elite: Dangerous, which is not a compliment
    >Exploration
    See above. Not interesting when the galaxy is not actually as huge as Elite, and it is not really interesting there either.
    >Suits
    Empty limitations, you'll have tools for everything ten hours in.
    >Scan
    See: elite: dangerous
    >Alien creatures
    Duh. Alien wolves and alien deer.
    >No vehicles
    Bah, bet you will have enough tools 10 hours in to make all movement tedious and uninteresting.
    >companions
    Expecting basic beth crap, so not much
    >Romance
    Beth romance. Bah.
    >Robots
    Bah.

    Summary: It is a Bethesda game, I don't think they learn. Whether I will buy is going to depend on mod support, so not gonna buy at launch.

    Damn this interview was a disaster.
    Whole thing is them asking questions from excited fans and Todd saying “no, we don’t have that”.

    >Only four romance options, the four main Constellation ones
    wtf that's it? Apparently the fourth one is secret because they explicitly only show these three in the menus and other parts of the direct.
    The only remaining Constellation members are Matteo, Noel, Vasco, Vlad, and Walter. Noel is the only female left for 50/50 female/male ratio. But she's never shown on the ship, and described as Sarah's protégé. She doesn't seem very important.

    >The last one is Vasco the robot and there's only one romanceable female in the game.

      Non binary mildly feminine robot. I'll bet $20 on it.

    the way he answered the robot question leads me to believe there will be another huge plot point like the secret androids in fallout4
