[@man0warable]

It's more to do with the sheer number of bugs that exist in the Starfield modding systems. Starfield easily has the best modding potential of any Bethesda game to date. However, literally all of that potential is ruined by a large number of bugs and bad design decisions that make creating a working mod unnecessarily difficult. The worst bug so far in my opinion is the record limit bug in which the game just breaks if too many records (changes) are loaded. Currently, Starfield can't load nearly as many mods as any other Bethesda game and they seemingly have no interest in fixing this bug despite it affecting their DLC as well.

What bothers me is the populated and habitable planets, they're completely uninteresting and there is no magic to exploring the game.

[@kwoni3337]

​@@JrIcifyexactly. It's not like the games have gotten generationally more complex and intricate. Starfield is just a shitty version of skyrim/fallout 4 in space with slightly more updated visuals. But that's always their excuse. "Game development is so complicated now" no, it really isn't. They and many other companies have just fallen victim to corporate bureaucracy and gotten too big to function anymore. The big ship analogy comes to mind. By the time the ship sees an iceberg (a dead trend they were chasing for example) and they try to avoid it, it's too late. The ship is too large and slow to react quick enough. Todd is no longer the captain of the ship, he's the executive director of the ship so he no longer understands what is actually happening because there are just too many moving pieces. Like how many AAA studios that were the pedigree in the 2000s and 2010s still are? Bioware? Bethesda? Arkane? All of ubisoft. Blizzard. Activision. The list goes on and on. All fallen from grace, all driven by profits and upper management and no longer by passion. Sad times

Give Bethesda that same amout of time and we'd probably get another wave of paid mods or something to that effect.

[@snaggiz]

I agree. At least Cyberpunk conceptually was fascinating and interesting. The world building was phenomenal. What it needed was additional time, focus and a bit of love and then it blossomed. It made good on its potential. Starfield? You’d need to do the whole thing over from scratch. It’s broken fundamentally as a concept.

My interest with starfield died when I was doing a mission and it had me enter a system that had a resort planet. The intro quest was that there was a big unidentified ship in orbit and it was supposed to be a mystery since you can't even contact it. The planets local force tries to tell you not to board it and talk to them first. Of course this is an rpg, so I ignored them and went to investigate. Turns out it was an old colony ship from earth that had generations of people on board that set out to colonize that planet because earth was dying, so they wanted to colonize the planet, but humans were already there. The mission is to negotiate with the resort world owners and once you talk with them is when I lost hope for this game. The options that the game gives you are: A. Make the colonist become indentured servants to the rich resort owners B. Kill the colonist and blow up their ship C. Buy a grav drive and retrofit their ship, so that they can settle somewhere else As soon as I saw those were my options I ended the conversation and tried to take out the resort owners. I was so disappointed to find out they were invulnerable npcs. What did ever happen to player choice??? I completed the quest and the colonist went on to find a new home completely disregarding their entire mission and generations of sacrifice. I turned off the game because at that moment I knew nothing could salvage that.

[@jamesmcmoore5434]

I'm almost finished with starfield because I've just been doing side quests and other stuff first before delving into the main story. (Day 1 buying it hence why it's taken ages to finish) But I agree. Some of the options are so stupid. Case in point the one you just said. At that point it would of been nice to pay off the debt myself and get them a ship out of there preferably to New Atlantis like how you can get Janet there by getting her debt wiped. There's also side missions that softlock all together and cannot progress further or it's so bugged it won't give a prompt. I thoroughly enjoy my time playing starfield but also agree at with people because of Bethesda and the issues the game has. They need to fix shit and give better player choice

And that's something else because Fallout 4 is horrendous. A borderline parody of the Fallout franchise, from the badly written story and quests, the sheer dumbing down of most roleplaying elements (dialogue being the most egregious example) and the complete utter destruction of the rules and internal consistency of the universe (the game will flat out ignore rules it sets up, so it's not even consistent with itself).

Upcoming nerfs and big increase with boring tasks just to keep your ship functioning... It`s gonna be lit! The lack of players that is.

I honestly think they do not care about getting es6 out. They just don't. They just wanna milk their games beyond dry as much as possible. First Skyrim, now Stanfield is gonna get the same treatment. It'll be 15 years before we hear ANYTHING more on es6 which is just so ridiculous
