The whole justification to keep using because the doctor said you could go 2 years using Aurora and be able to get clean is totally something an addict would do. Making crazy justifications to keep using or to wait until a later time to stop is all part of addiction. Great storytelling. Just from that part alone I could tell you've probably experienced addiction directly or indirectly at some point.

I personally think the contraban system could've been expanded a bit more, instead of "illegal everywhere" kinda way, I think it would've been better if each faction had a "blacklist", so you could buy some things legally in some systems but they would be illegal in others, I had also hoped that there would've been more "supply and demand prices" instead of pretty much the same everywhere.

Tbh the addiction mechanic is amazing. It behaves a lot more like real life addiction and you do end up making choices you shouldn't just to deal with the problem until you can cure it.

[@alexbanks8429]

Don’t tell anyone, but it’s the secret ingredient of our family’s steamed hams recipe.

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

The only issue with the lore video is the fact that the game simply wasn't programmed for sea creatures to spawn that far away from key spots. Also, they are fish, so in reality the only reason for them to be so close to the surface on a water world when near the city is because they are probably enjoying easy to acquire food that falls off of the city platform while the rest of the world they would likely be significantly deeper eating wild plants/other animals.

[@NefasQS]

Four Chasmbass under Neon still isn’t a very good sign. Assuming you are correct as the Sharkwhale can dive, it doesn’t change the fact you only get ONE flask of oil per Chasmbass and it’s also implied by the carcasses the older/bigger ones are rarer now as a result of overfishing.

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

@@NefasQS The real question for me is why is the fish narcotic the only usable for the drug? I find hallucinogens on all sorts of animals on tons of planets.

[@NefasQS]

Chasmbass oil may have a particular property that is favored for the effects of Aurora. While you could manufacture something similar with different ingredients, you have to take into account cost of production and logistics like transporting non-Volii Alpha materials or creatures then setting up new facilities or processes to handle that. Additionally, it wouldn’t be surprising if people demanded for a ban on said off-world materials for a variety of reasons. Currently Aurora as a finished product is banned but the materials for it actually aren’t as evident by the fact that Chasmbass oil is not considered contraband. If Neon depended on off-world materials then that’s a weakness Benjamin Bayu wouldn’t like. Lastly, if people were to try to demand a halt to the fishing of Chasmbass that will have bad PR because people clearly depend on the species for a source of protein + job creation. Lots of parallels between our world and Starfield’s for sure!

[@xavierdoesntmatter]

@@NefasQS part of my last comment was more on the fact that it's true I couldn't make Aurora without the correct oil but a lot of animals you kill do have 'hallucinogen' as the resource you get from them, sometimes in bones and sometimes even in scales and such. There really isn't much reason I couldn't start my own drug production and I actually won't be surprised if a mod for it shows up eventually just like the person that made a mod to let you create, sell and even end up with causing people to become addicted to Skooma in Skyrim. I didn't use the mod much but I loved the idea of it and the work that went into it when I tested it out.

magic mushrooms dont kill lmfao, the poison is the chemicals that get you high and hallucinate. its not a poison that kills you, the reason people drink the pee is because the drug is recycled and alot is wasted when you pee it out. a human thats high on mushrooms can piss and then drink it to get high for even longer, its not just with reindeer. in fact im pretty sure this was discovered because either a human or reindeer was attacked while it was peeing by another reindeer just so it can steal its piss because they love mushrooms and can smell it through piss in the air@@thesilentsoldier1

Your comment about crabs disappearing from the sea isn't entirely accurate. It wasn't just snow crabs but also king crabs that massively disappeared. Also, there is no consensus on what caused this since it happened so fast. The scientific community generally agree overfishing could not have led to such an immediate drop. Right now it's still a complete mystery. There's theories that maybe ocean temperature change caused them to migrate but it's all still conjecture. The international communities are still trying to solve this as it's very likely they migrated somewhere else and didn't just disappear.

So I'm not entirely sure how much we're going to add the skills and other stuff into this but I'm going to count them because it actually makes sense. If you get your animal skill up high enough you can get anywhere from 1 to 4 oil from 1 fish. And I'm just some random person that dived into the water and scraped it off of their skin. They probably got some kind of machinery that's capable of way more efficiently getting a lot of oil from one fish.

I think you're reading a bit too much into the low spawn rate of fish on Volii Alpha especially as it's the only thing that would point to overfishing. The devs likely just didn't think anyone would go swimming off into the distance and as you can't land anywhere on the planet except on Neon there's no reason to set up any procedural generation of wildlife. Or for a more in-universe explanation: The name of fish implies it lives in the depths of the ocean and the only reason you can find them by the surface around the platform is likely because the platform provides a source of food. The industrial impact of such a comparatively small fishing operation as Neon would be negligible on the fish population of an Earth-sized ocean world.

The drug aurora in the game Starfield is lackluster at best. This is due to Bethesda’s PG middle school dialogue writing and emotionless voice actors.

Maybe some homeless dudes zonked out in back alleyways.

[@MidanMagistrate]

I honestly wish they made it more like Slo-Mo from Dredd, because the whole point of that is that it wasn't addictive and didn't have any negative side effects, like LSD in real life, just that bad people used it nefariously, yet the authoritarian government policed it heavily out of fear for it. Aurora feels like it's *trying* to be Slo-Mo/LSD, but without any of the message behind it. It's just a boring hyper addicted chem that the governments of the Settled Systems are correct for policing so heavily.
