Va’ruun is seriously the most interesting thing in starfield. Hope the expansion delivers on that

[@slimnerek]

Between Va’ruun and the plot line with the terramorphs they had some stuff to build on. They should’ve just leaned into a space GoTs type game with a dash of mil sci go on the side. Instead of whatever the fuck they had going on with those powers

It's been a while since I touched Starfield, but I guess my character's background of being a space trucker raised in Va'ruun space will come in handy. I'll be really disappointed if there aren't some interesting dialogue options from the Va'ruun background.

[@purpledevilr7463]

There isn’t any Va’ruun background. Unless you’re referring to the Serpant’s Embrace trait. Which is a trait, not a background. And yes, yes there is some interesting interaction.

[@legion4902]

I wonder if the push by Bethesda was someone impersonating Samuel Jackso yrlling:"who puts this mother forking snakes on my starship." Hopefully we get more than Space Dwemer Vampire Lookalikes

[@georgie9303]

Easily the most fascinating faction in Starfield. Hoping the next Expansion focuses on either Constellation or Bayuu of Neon

Bayuu of neon sounds very intriguing they could implement trading and selling within your outpost using bayuu as a sponsorship for you to the trade authority after a quest line working with him.

[@Agent789_0]

Bethesda definitely gets props for sponsoring you guys after the video you made criticizing Starfield. It seems small but a lot of companies wouldn't have done that.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Style matters a lot when criticizing something. It is one thing to constructively point out areas people find lacking and opportunities to improve upon them, but another for the social media snark-of-the-day like 'Snorefield', 'Wokefield', etc.

[@ReneRivers]

That was more interesting than the entire DLC

[@amitansurkar1769]

Starfield is out for a yr now😂

[@Jorjgasm]

Are the UC, FC and House the only sovereign entities in the Settled Systems? Or are there others which we have not seen yet? It would have been good to produce some sort of expanded lore, with entities and peoples we do not see in the game. At least in the form of independent planets. Maybe the game could have been shifted to the 2700s or something to give more time for a more interesting geopolitical situation to appear. The game's lore is very shallow. The world does not seem large and you would think that the UC is made up of a handful of survivors, rather than the entirety of humanity moved offworld.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

IIRC there is 'LIST' which is basically the independent settler groups. They don't really control planets though, being more like independent homesteaders. There are a few quests you can do for them, with at least one multi-quest chain that has you clearing sites in orbit and on the ground.

[@Jorjgasm]

@@XoRandomGuyoX Space squatters or homesteaders don't do it for me. That is not an interesting sort of politics, because their resources are necessarily limited. Single system polities could work. Think something like the Honorverse, where just multisystem polities have a lot of internal autonomy, some smaller multi-system polities exist, plus single system, plus the odd divided system, and then you get the secret colonies, homesteaders etc. This is why setting is farther into the future would have been a good idea.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

That would be amazing. I don't know if Bethesda would add to the base game like Hello Games did with NMS.

[@Synthonym]

Hello Games knuckled down and devoted themselves to making the game they promised. Bethesda will drop 2 small DLCs and then bounce

[@FortressLordJP193]

The base game will get better, I think more so than their past titles, but DLCs for more lore and mods for scope and content are where it'll be at. It has big modding potential, and I've been using the kit.

[@amitansurkar1769]

Too premature to judge tho, isn't it? I mean nms after 9 yrs is at where it's at... Starfield is just a yr old, and Starfield wasn't bad at launch like nms was

Bethesda, why can’t you make your cities bigger than a few shops and houses? I see in many other games massive cities with 100s of individuals going about their daily lives. Why can’t you do the same? This would help with your expressed goal to make an rpg to live in for over a decade. Witcher, the wayward realms cyberpunk even dragons dogma has more buildings and people than anything you’ve recently created. Even your newest expansion has a lack luster main city. You’re my favorite developer with my favorite games of all time but we the player need more.

Know something that annoys me off about starfield? Bethesda, the company known for making tons of races in their games like orcs and cat people and lizard people, had 0 aliens in starfield.

[@tahmil5790]

That’s not what they were aiming for in the game Starfield is more about finding the meaning in/of life. Also it would be easier for Starfield to have aliens BUT why become like every other space game. This is more of a philosophical/action space game.

[@amitansurkar1769]

Dufus, didn't know anything about the game, and now it's complaining about it 😂😂

[@jakeola10]

Because they wanted to make a more grounded setting like Alien or 2001. Not every sci fi setting needs to be Star Wars.

[@Joseph-wh5of]

But that's the whole point of starfield. The whole NASA punk setting is trying to depict humanity as their first real strife to go out and adventure into space. This isn't mass effect where everything is hyper sleek and aerodynamic and nanotech can repair your suit or ship. I'm sure you could use some duct tape and wrench to patch a hole in one of the ships in Starfield. Having highly advanced aliens roaming around would ruin the premise of humanity against space. It's a deeply personal story for us humans.

[@Jean-Luc_Renard]

You would think the institute would wait for Shattered Space. It's going to focus on House Var'uun. Unless they got their hands on it in advance, this video will be outdated in less than a week. Instead, The Templin Institute made BGS a free trailer. Ultimately, It's your channel, do what you want with it.

[@rosesareredbutzerglingssti9290]

Personally, I'm disappointed with Starfield. That game promised the entire galaxy but instead, it only delivered an asteroid. The lore feels rushed and simple, the main quest, that lazy multiverse narrative and the starborn powers are underwheling, building bases is a torture due to ridiculous mass limit and exploring a thousand empty worlds featuring the same points of (dis)interest over and over again _ad infinitum_ gets boring extremely fast. The only good things about Starfield are the soundtrack, the combat (in both space and planetside) and the ship customization/build mechanic. Everything else sucks. 😞

[@tahmil5790]

Then go find another game to play, but if your just disappointed Stop being pessimistic towards Bethesda. They are actively listening to their community and improving the game in real time.
