But then I ALSO want the 4-5 main planets to have been so so so much more densely packed with POI and human-made structures. Especially in the primary/highlighted landing zones. Maybe the "pick your landing zone" stays mostly empty, but then those 3-4 icons per planet were densely packed.

[@notforwantoftrying1]

I would really love to know what goes on internally within Bethesda regarding decision making and so on. It's hard to understand how a game developer can be so detatched from what their playerbase actually wants. People will blame all sorts of reasons for the post-FO4 era but none of them are truly satisfying explanations. Their business model just doesn't make sense, they are missing the simple fact of supply and demand. After the release of Skyrim, they should have used the profits to recruit senior game developers and and 2-3 small but highly focussed teams, each handling a different IP (TES, FO, Starfield). Have those teams target a 3-4 year development cycle, making games similar in size and scope to Skyrim/FO4 but with incremental improvements to the various game systems. People just want to get lost in a vast open world with so many unknown things to discover and explore, it's really that simple.

[@ElyJrTheatre]

So the problem I have with vehicles being added at this stage was the same problem I had with mass effect Andromeda. I understand being the only person on a new planet, driving a vehicle around, but if I go to populated planets, I shouldn’t be the only person that has access to a Land Vehicle. Basically you should see other people riding around and doing stuff, not just you. the size of the game makes certain new features feel like inserts rather than growth.

[@digitaldruglord1815]

im sure we eventually will. its incredibly young for a BGS game

[@Geraduss]

No, I've been arguing against those few planets. Just all but ignore planets altogether and focus on space exploration. Create a way to move around every star system with your ship, even if it's zooming out in to the star system map and you move a model of your ship around with mouse clicks, the same way you did in Mass Effect 2 and 3. Then have a sensor range around your ship within which you could find random events and locations, (new and more varied locations), and only use planets as quest hubs/locations where you only land next to the objective do the thing and leave. No more boring barren planet exploring period.

And since you would be procedurally traveling you would actually be able to implement fuel mechanics and finally have use of transporting material or prisoners.

The Toyota Starfield was a beige blob of mediocrity that basically functioned but had no style or substance to it and it couldn’t accelerate past 50mph even on the freeway. The Toyota 76 put the gear shift lever right in the middle of the drivers seat so that you had to shove the knob up your ass just to shift into drive and the blinker lever electrocuted you slightly any time you wanted to change lanes. Then modders came along and took the body and interior apart and rearranged it into something much better, more comfortable and user friendly using most of the same building blocks and built on top of the same engine, transmission, etc. That’s a more accurate analogy using Toyotas.

The cartoony feel fits quite well with Fallout Shelter because of the retro-futuristic premise of the Fallout universe and is clearly building off the iconic Vault Boy logo. Even the premise of that game, adding various rooms to create a sprawling bunker, makes sense in-universe because of the necessity of making entirely self-sustaining underground colonies where you’d need all of those different spaces to come together. You wouldn’t naturally have that with castles. It all seems very forced. And I’m surprised they didn’t recognize that, or, at the very least, are perfectly fine with it being such an obvious re-skin in so many ways.

[@Ehlier26]

Elder Scrolls spin-off games used to be like, Redguard, Battlespire, Shadowkey, smaller adventures with weird unique lore that made an impact on the series. If they kept doing that sort of thing but better balanced I’d eat up as many spin-offs as they could release. Now Castle and Blades can’t even commit to existing in an actual location. They’re just microtransaction bait

[@deathstick7715]

You guys think Bethesda will ever move on from the creation engine

[@Erynash]

Unlikely. TES6 is built in a newer creation engine. If they ever drop this engine, you can kiss the modding scene goodbye, ans with it the best thing their games have going for them.

[@NRuiz98]

My guy the engine is not the problem, the people working at Bethesda are... Do a little research and you'll find that most of the engines that big companies use today are really old, most of them mostly update them.

[@Direwolf9818]

@@NRuiz98this everyone has this weird Bethesda’s game engine. Look at some of the stuff that Modders have done with Skyrim.

Without creation engine you won’t be able to interact with all observable objects, mod easily, and go into all buildings.

[@Chardansearavitriol]

This happens because you buy these games and pay money for microtransactions. It is your fault.

[@BoomMC_Inc]

You're right about the ES6 point. I felt ripped that there was nothing here.

[@canadaboy2503]

Elder Scrolls Castles is released in canada, can confirm its not good, just a few things to note: 1. Biggest Issue to me is that the player is given no initiative, your always waiting for a citizen to give you an option to make a decision, often times on trivial things. Game should have an option to create your own rulings (tax, interrogate, gift, fine) once a in game day or something to give you actual control. 2. likely one of the most important RNG things in this game is breeding thanks to the focus on the peoples traits, but theyve made breeding a complete RNG calculator wth virtually no player control, legendary 5 trait parents will birth commons regularly, and commons will breed legendaries almost as often as legendaries do. Further more race is randomly selected between the two parents races and all races can interbreed (despite there being a book in the mainline games outlining how interacial breeding works (children are of the mothers race and argonians/kajiht cant interbreed). Oh and if you thought that was bad, all citizens can breed once a day (humans and elves) AND all characters have the same lifetimes (80 ish years) 3. all of the gear you can eventually craft (iron, steel, silver, orcish, dwarven, and elven all use IDENTICAL models with the colors changed, its just like shovelware titles in that regard. On top of that all citizens have no defining features, and the "art style" is minimal polygons. 4. Macro-Transactions, the game includes 1 purchase less than 5 dollars (and thats in CAD) and its for like 50 gems. The transactions they push on launch etc are 60-150 dollars! for an unreleased game! They have an emperors pass that gives a few rewards as you level but it only gives 5 of the already unlocked rewards so you need to buy it right near the start of the game for it to have any value and its price is 12.99 for 14 days! after tax thats a dollar per day of premium. The game also shamelessly uses the older, good games to try to make a buck. You can buy or sometimes earn premium characters such as Tiber Septim (but talos already exists and you can worship him), Isran, Lydia, the adoring fan, Ralof, and many many more that are purely there for shameless reference attention 5. events are even more lack-luster than blades, one event is a 2 day span where the player needs to birth a few babies and marry a few couples and thats the whole "event" 6. Assassinations are solely based on happiness and enemy/friend status (the later being an arbitrary thing the player has little control over) it means the weakest, most feeble 80 year old servant can 100% assassinate a mid 20's warrior king in full plate armour and wielding an elven sword and shield and its completley unpreventable if people are just a little angry.

TLDR; all the announcements are dog water at best. TES is finally getting a mobile game and doom 1&2 port ( this should have been done a long time ago). Thank you Tod for all these things that should have been done 5 years ago. Im glad Bethesda is stepping up.

[@saintjiubtheeradicator]

TES has 2 mobile games dawg

[@ThatFont]

To people suffering crashes on Fallout 4 and Skyrim current patch (I play them on console): don’t drop items, and if you interact with something accidentally, try to store it in a corpse or something. Works for me if I’m playing a single profile for a long time.

[@PunkarellaOG]

Fallout London is one of the best games I've played all year.

[@universal_wisdom3416]

I think after Shattered Space drops, we need to really turn our gaze towards the mod community. They absolutely CARRIED Skyrim for many years. I can see this happening for Starfield too.

[@Ssecave]

A lot of modders aren't interested in Starfield because there is nothing to do really quick unlike Skyrim or Fallout 4. Hopefully I'm wrong but it seems that the majority is staying on skyrim, waiting for TES6.

[@nexarath]

Or, you know, like, play other games and stop giving Bethesda undeserved playtime. It boggles my mind as a long-term (and I mean LONGTERM, started with Arena, actually) Bethesda fan how the fanbase still kinda sees the modders and Bethesda as one entity in a way.. like.. not really.. but yes.. like.. let's still put our trust in modders, let's still play the evermodded hell out of these games, instead of.. like.. moving on. Skyrim was so damn mid that it became good only once modders changed just about everything from combat and graphics to the quests, and I'm still salty we STILL don't have Extended Cut, but one day, eh. Starfield is on a whole new level of horribleness AND it's harder to mod. Why would people bother?

[@EatThePath-7]

I'll be keeping an eye on it but mainly as i'm curious to see how much of a hellscape the modding scene for Starfield will become due to paid mods. The game itself will need so many mods to become half-decent that it will be interesting to see how much $$$ you have to drop to get there.

[@TehPiemaygor]

How about stop begging modders to fix a game that should have been good on launch but clearly wasn't.

[@RandomWandrer]

Plenty of people love to hangout in Starfield. 5m players in the last 30days. 300k in the last 24h. And the modding community is massive already. Let's not pretend "Starfield sucks" or "modders abandoned it"
