Starfield Beat Me

This is not a decision I've made lightly as I really wanted to be able to give Wyatt's Tale justice and honestly there is some nice meat in Starfield that I was looking forward to twisting...sound bad. But the few bugs I've shared today are a small collection of what I've been working around since launch. In the future I would like to revisit with a fresh series hopefully after the game has been polished by those passionate enough to give it the love it deserves.

It's okay. There's no secret that Starfield looks like one of those infomercial products: it feels amazing at first; but the more you use it, the more reasons you get to regret buying it.

[@LedeannaCal]

I have been playing since release and still love it. Don't get me wrong it is far from perfect and at the current time I understand Rycon's issues.

[@SomeUnsoberIdiot]

What are you on about? It's bad from the getgo.

[@kevrod8979]

Her saying “You kidding me” fits here.

[@MultiStendhal]

I developed a reflex where I add a year or two to the release date of any AAA game and concider tthat being the actual relsease date. Everytime the game is cheaper, less buggier and with more content.

[@Blend3rman]

r/PatientGamers for anyone else fed up with the current state of AAA releases

[@seamusfinnegan1164]

Honestly this is about right for many games, although id extend it to three to five years for any game that starts out as a 'early access' game.

[@eldengarrett9153]

I would say this isn't true of all AAA releases, Elden Ring was great Day 1 for example, as is Baldurs Gate 3 (although that was in early access for over a year). Case-by-case basis, and it is always true to never preorder unless a playable demo is available.

[@thedreamer6930]

This is something I encourage everyone to do.

[@thedreamer6930]

@eldengarrnet Not sure what that percentage of good vs bad AAA games would be. But if I had to guess, it's around 10% of them nowadays that are great day 1. Either way, not enough to justify blind faith in any company.

[@jasonthomas7909]

I remember that one time in Logan's Dawn where you couldn't get that one room in the Pitt DLC to load in properly and you managed to just roll with it by saying it was a combination of mental trauma and hallucinogenic gas exposure. So if you say Starfield is too much of a strain for your ability to convincingly improvise through *I believe it*

[@leoeli577]

That's super valid, and it's important that the creative process stays fun. You made the right call. 👊

[@ryconroleplays]

Thanks Eli

[@ethankly12]

Starfield beat me too, man. It beat me too.

[@dardoscorvo510]

Honestly, I would say just Roleplay Cyberpunk for us, Rycon. Get a mod to mute V, and just voice his lines out. Make an awesome theater play for us all. But anyway, whatever you might plan for us, I wish for you the best with it. I will be eager to wait for it.

[@redroleplays]

I was thinking of role-playing cyberpunk my voice acting is OK but not top notch like rycons

[@bharland85]

Gr8 idea

[@Slurpsaucee]

If only cyberpunk didn’t have a voiced mc, there’d be so much potential for a Rp.

[@Arcian]

I'm fairly sure there are mods disabling V's voice.

[@dathunderman4]

I don’t really think Cyberpunk is built to be a true RPG. For example, there are very few opportunities for skill checks in the game. I love cyberpunk, but I play it more as an action-adventure game with RPG elements than an RPG like a fallout NV.

[@nestruen7613]

⁠​⁠@@dathunderman4Valid Opinion, but saying there isn’t many skill checks, imo is wrong. Plus the game wouldn’t need to be a true rpg for a roleplay, as we’ve seen before with rycons Outlast series.

[@nananamamana3591]

@@dathunderman4 The game's full of skill checks, but they tend to be of 2 kinds. 1: They don't mean anything, it's just a check to see if you get a bit of flavor. or 2: They're imperative for a certain conclusion of whatever quest is at hand that, if you lack the stats, you will get an objectively worse ending for the side quest, and you have NO way of knowing which skill will be needed, or at what level the skill will need to be, and often, you'll not have the ability to back-out and return when you have reached that threshold because these moments tend to happen at the VERY very end of a quest, and leaving will result in you failing it entirely instead. So, your skill checks are either harmless fluff, or vitally important and entirely untelegraphed, and there is also no way to tell which is which. It's why I tell everyone to just use a mod to max all your stats. You don't *lose* out on the experience since, you're right, it's *mostly* an action-adventure game, and *most* of what you're actually able to do is based on the gear you're using, moreso than your stats. Since the only thing it affects outside what you can and can't equipped is these random checks, you are aboslutely better off just setting all that shit to 100 and choosing how you play, on your own.

[@dathunderman4]

@@nestruen7613 when I say skill checks, I meant like skill checks that truly change the outcome of quests. There are skill checks for flavor or that allow you to bypass a certain path (e.g. like those body/intelligence checks to open certain locked doors), but few tangibly change the nature or outcome of a quest (I know there are some that do, but most don’t). Or I guess I should say, I didn’t notice much difference in quest outcome based on differences in build. Witcher 3 was the same in that regard as well, the differences in outcome came down to decisions you made, not your character’s skills/build. Compare that to fallout 1/2 or NV where you get entirely different quests outcomes based on certain skills you’ve invested in, and sometimes you can’t even access a quest at all because your character lacks a certain skill.

[@aquelehiru3179]

It is equaly unfortunate and funny that this happened.

[@Arcian]

It's frustrating enough when you're just trying to play the game, but when you're trying to record footage for an immersive viewing experience, it gets so much worse.

[@caitheoutcastranger]

Shame that the bugs have finally gotten to you Rycon, I was really digging the story you were telling and honestly it was making starfield a lot more appealing to see that people could still make their “own” story in the game. Is it possible we will ever see the rest of this story? Even if it’s not a summary of where you planned to take it?

[@ryconroleplays]

I really wanted to play with the bleakness driven from decisions in the past and see Wyatt pushed down a path of piracy and rebellion. He came from poverty and has the excess that so many of the other worlds have to offer and just the blatent waste of resources in some sectors. Would have been a little Robin Hood a little Braveheart in space.

[@caitheoutcastranger]

@@ryconroleplays sounds like it would have made quite the interesting story to tell! Thanks for the explanation of where it would have headed, hope you have an awesome day and can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

Have not seen that bug, but on Xbox we have a bug, which has been occurring after the last update. Finishing a mission undocking from space stations, walk to your pilots seat press (A) to sit in pilot seat, and nothing, character freeze for a second, you try again to sit in pilot’s seat , same result. So not only can we not travel from planet to planet, without fast travelling, but now we can’t even sit in our pilot seat.😢Oh Bethesda why.

[@ryconroleplays]

BG3 is so we'll polished and thought out. Keeps my jaw dropping

[@OddysChannel]

​@@ryconroleplaysHave you been playing it off-screen? Liking it?

[@CornBreadtm1]

Give the game 10 years and hope the modding community cared enough to fix it by then. Cause most people don't care enough to touch the game and went back to Skyrim and FO4 to mod.

[@natehawkinsgaming]

Totally get it. I was limited to the console so I didn't have PC commands that you had so getting around bugs was entirely impossible. This is why I couldn't get past the 1st episode of my role-play series! It was very disappointing to say the least considering I was also planning for the best. So no apologies necessary! Your work beats all the other role-play work out there so I'm glad this hasn't stopped you from continuing the charge. Great work as always. On to the next adventure!

[@WastelandDovahkiin]

I wondered if this might happen. But kudos to you for trying, Rycon. I definitely didn't have the stones do that myself. I'm staying casual with my play through until I can mod it, lol. Are you going to keep playing Starfield on your own? Or are you stopping completely?

[@ryconroleplays]

I might try playing it just for myself too

[@EssenceEater]

Tha absolute gall for Bethesda to charge 70 USD for this mess of a game is absurd. These bugs are completely unacceptable and should never have been let through on launch.

[@thewardenduncan]

Mate, it's totally understandable. Most of my first run of Starfield I was surprised by how few bugs I ran into compared to Skyrim, but you eventually do find them, and they are quite a bit worse than Skyrim's occasional floating mammoths or teleporting NPCs. I'm hoping this game still has enough interest to get modders to create an "Unofficial Starfield Patch" once the creation kit comes out, like we got for all the other games, but I guess we'll have to see. At this point I doubt the modding scene will ever be as good as Skyrim's, but there's still a lot of cool stuff you could do with this game with a script extender and the right people pushing the envelope. Hope to see you back in the starfield if that day ever comes. Kia kaha, Rycon.

[@BadgerAhsavarak]

it's ok, I hear you...we hear you. this was not the game I thought it would be.

[@djstraylight]

I ran into the same issues. I dropped about 40 hours on Starfield, even with mods I wasn't gelling with it. I'm hoping by mid-year we get the survival update, DLC timeline and some great modded game overhauls.

[@bones4817]

Starfield beat me into submission a couple times. I uninstalled and wont reinstall till survival is a thing

[@ByteOfWhiskey]

Well, good news is that the Frost Dev team is actually working on a similar overhaul for Starfield. PANPC is out, too. But... it's a long way off for the Frost/Dust mod.

[@darthbane8]

[@tjep2670]

Oh man, I was so looking forward to Starfield, i mean deaign my own ships, fly through space, in a big bethsday rpg. I was exeted to see what the would do with a completely new story!

I couldnt leave the building i was in without crashing in the first, the second died when the Key didnt exist.

[@pendantblade6361]

I don't even have any major bugs but the emptiness and boringness of the game got to me. Totally understandable, man.

[@r3dp9]

Same. Spent about 50 hours enjoying the game, about 20 hours experiencing the slowly dawning realization that I stopped enjoying anything, then another 50 hours desperately searching for anything enjoyable. All I found where dialogue and environments that screamed , quests that rob the player character of even the illusion of agency, and meaningless repeatable fetch quests. If there was ANY place Starfield was going to hide the good content, it would either be Sol or the star system named "Fermi Paradox". I found nothing.

[@NateOblivion]

I love this series. Hopefully there are more patches/mods to work out these bugs sooner rather than later. If that does become the case, I would absolutely LOVE to see this return. For now, rest your weary mind on these frustrating elements. I sincerely hope that you come out on top in the matter. I got your back amigo, we all do, can't wait to see more amazing content on this channel of legend.

[@Jkesler85]

It sucks so much that we have so many BIG game companies that are more concerned with quantity and speed than they are with quality and bug control. Worst part is the droves that still buy those games without paying attention to reviews or the community. The gaming community is so starved for a GOOD open world sandbox space exploration game.

[@r3dp9]

Well, I've learned my lesson at least. It took me long enough, but I'm much more careful with what I buy now.

[@sleethuzama43]

Bugs in a Bethesda game? Never

[@Verip]

"It just works"

[@NannyOggins]

What a damn shame. You did such a brilliant job of bringing this game alive with your acting. I can sympathise, its pretty unforgivable that games are launched in this state. I don’t have Starfield as I don’t have a PC anymore and won’t be buying it until it is reliable and unless it is ported to PlayStation. Thanks for showing how good the game can be with a little imagination and a lot of talent.

[@Snarkknight5]

I'm sorry that this happened to you, but if it's any consolation, the game let *you* down, not the other way around. Starfield may not have worked out, but I'm still glad you made these videos; I got to be introduced to a creative writer, editor, and roleplayer. Your talents will shine through, irrespective of the medium that you choose to use. Keep stoking that creative spark, okay? I'll keep an eye out for your next project!

[@pbsixgun6]

Glad I never buy stuff until long after most bugs are fixed either by the devs or by modders. More than one reason for that. But has been a thing for nearly 30 years now. Rarely buy anything 'new' or full price when it comes out. Was just sick of getting 'THIS' kinda thing.

[@amyduncancinder]

Mr. Rycon, first, I want to say I'm sorry you cannot continue this roleplay. I truly enjoyed it and will miss it. You did a good job...no, a great job. But frustration with a game is something we all understand, I'm sure. Hopefully, I'll see something new from you soon. Your play style is like nothing I've seen before and I can't tell you how enjoyable it is to watch YOUR story unfold. Thank you, Sir, for introducing me to a new way to play.

[@mikelarry874]

[@STOTTINMAD]

[@michaeljamesmccabe]

There are some cool ways to play Starfield. Gotta say that it wears thin much faster than what you’d expect from Bethesda. Starfield needs to be patched up and maybe mods will take it into a solid experience. Thanks for trying Rycon!

[@hyugahablak1186]

Dang it beat the legend himself? Man I was hoping for this series. It was going to be amazing

[@suragu5836]

I really don't blame you at all, rycon. i stopped playing starfield only a few weeks after release and i haven't looked back since. it's such a shame considering the potential, but what can you do. it's not your job to make bethesda's game playable and fun.

[@DrakeBarrow]

Alright, first off, that was funny as all hell. That's like someone got shot by a ludicrous weapon from an Ian M. Banks novel (random strangers, search for The Lazy Gun via your search engine of choice, you won't be disappointed). "He's so good with a pistol, he doesn't send his targets to the Shadow Realm, he brings the Shadow Realm to _them_!" Secondly, I am going to miss this story, but I also understand where you're coming from. I don't know if Starfield will ever get a proper DUST/FROST equivalent, but you could do a lot with an Alternate Start mod that lets you opt into the main quest later ("If you want to start the main questline, go to this city and check the Job Board for a mining gig..." type of deal), along with more patches and a proper Unofficial Patch once the mod tools get released. In the meantime, however, someone made a mod kinda like DUST or FROST for Skyrim, called 'Shattered Skyrim', which might be worth your time to look at if it's not on your radar already.

[@richarddeaton5337]

Holy Mother of Pearl, wtf was that?

[@peterd9698]

Some bug between rag doll physics and skinning? Looks like parts of the body fell through the floor first.

[@Univenon]

This is why I decided to wait for the inevitable complete addition with all the DLCs included. Cheaper price and less bugs. By then, I'm sure there will be an unofficial patch that fixes a lot of this stuff. My roommate played it for free thanks to Games pass and I heard how frustrating the experience was, especially if you played a stealth based character. He would tell me all the time how someone saw him through a solid wall or from across a station and it frustrated him to no end.

[@wyattweber9983]

Man, he had my name and everything! Can't blame you for wanting things to make sense in your serious roleplay series though

[@kamDeepfury]

Don't feel bad, Rycon. You're still great. Your content is quality. This is good to focus on what you can get working instead of breaking your mind on the things that don't.

[@Zakhad1989]

Empyrion (Reforged Eden overhaul) and or space engineers could be an interesting segway like how cdda went into ark survival evolved, probably empyrion over space engineers as it has better roleplaying elements and or npc / environment that's easier to work with, maybe you crashed onto a planet somewhere and now you have to "build" your ship and "escape" back into starfield for whenever the equivalent of dust or frost hits.

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

I'd sooner say that starfield LOST with all these bugs... I was thinking about getting it and making an RP series in it as well but with these kind of stuff? Imma save my money! I can tolerate some loading glitches in Star trek online (even managed to incorporate them into my characters story as he survived Tal Shiar Experiments) ... but this..... IDK how I'd work around this

[@Ondar007]

I had quite a good time going thru Starfield's mission arcs. I sink some 260 hr in. But I don't feel like going back anytime soon 😁

It's too bad about the bugs. This was my first time watching your videos and I have to say that you make the best rp playthroughs I've seen. So, I did subscribe just in case you start playing Starfield again. Until then I'll just have to watch your other videos. Well done, keep it up.

Dust for new vegas frost for fallout 4 so Void would be best mod name for starfield. Well that would be something to play if hold in same style as dust or frost mods.

[@ryconroleplays]

Void is a great name

[@ZentrovertedGamer]

Yep lol... Starfield most definitely has a lot of bugs that would normally be really hard to work around but in anticipation of Bethesda making and releasing a buggy game, when I decided to do a role play for it I thought it would be fitting to just write the bugs into the story some how. And it turns out the overall story for Starfield fits that approach perfectly because who knows exactly how the temples, the powers, the artifacts and Unity are effecting the Universe/settled systems.

[@ProjectGamer1776]

It's a shame things have turned out the way the did with Starfield. It has so much potential but there is so much that just takes you out of any immersive experience you want to achieve, I hope with time Bethesda can do something to fix a lot of the issues but seeing so many bugs that exist from the oblivion days still present is very disheartening. Think it's just time for them to accept they need a new engine because even a lot of the modders have given up on Starfield at this point.

[@ErikMalkavian]

I could see that your PC was struggling with the Graphics and that there was lost of frames. I don't know your setup but this game IS Brutal at 4K and Recording at that setting must have been a struggle. I personally have a RTX 4090 with i7 10700K and maximum at get recording at 4K is 80fps and my CPU is running at 80 celsius and 95-100% Usage on my GPU. Looking forward to you replaying this in the Future Rycon

[@nananamamana3591]

Imagine you're Peter Jackson. You're on the set of Lord of the Rings. You're filming the scene where Gandalf, Sir Ian Mccellan, dies. It's a dramatic moment. Tragic. Then. Everytime he goes to shout his iconic line, "YOU! SHALL NOT! PASS!", Ian does his "spaghetti skeleton, fold through the geometry of reality" gag, and you have to cut, and take it from the top, because this fucking GOOFBALL isn't here to make a damn movie, he's here to just turn his whole skeleton into spaghetti and stretch out like he was at the center of a black hole, and if that RUINS your shot, literally DAYS worth of filming, he doesnt fucking care... You can't *NOT* do the scene. This is IMPERATIVE to the film, there's no avoiding it. But, also, nothing you do is gonna stop Ian from folding his body around, and through, reality. There's no trick of the camera you can contrive to avoid getting a shot of his arms twisting together like a double helix and extending like noodles through the roof of your film stage, as his legs stretch through the walls and his fellow actors. That's this. But instead of the distinguished works of Tolkein, with the phenomenal talent of actors and artists that transformed words on a page into tangible reality; it's Tod Howard's latest entry into a long career of barely functional video games held together by gum, tape, and spit literally over two decades old, overworked video capturing and editing software, and some chap from New Zealand trying to hold all *that* together with his creative integrity, and rapidly dwindling patience. In short; This was never a matter of "if", but "when" we'd have to say farewell to Starfield for a while. For the record, there's a *lot* of space sims out there *like* Starfield, so, if there's a professional or personal interest in continuing things with a similar "feel" to it, there's an open market to choose from. Out of curiosity, have you ever considered incorporating the bugs *into* the narrative of the character's perception? Something like a "WOAH! Woahwowah! D-Did you... What the fuck happened to that guy, did you see that? Just me?!" because, I'll admit, Starfield is the one game where you could fold that neatly into the narrative.

[@ryconroleplays]

I did consider making it a part of the story but it just happens far too frequently. NPCS acting weird, ships phasing through each other and just a litany of immersion breaking moments

[@BartmossTV]

Starfield? More like Starfailed. Am I right?

[@zelkovalru]

It's okay buddy, give it a year, and we should be good to try this again. Bethesda is very active right now in these bug fixing. I would recommend sending in your save file there so then can look at it. This is a game they will be supporting for years to come. It's their new IP so they will fix these things as long as they know there is a issue.

[@Goblin-King-]

Honestly I would love maybe another skyrim or maybe even oblivion roleplay series

[@CADbaguette]

[@locustsun]

More and more AAA games are showing up half-finished. I haven't bought one in so long now since No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077. Both were able to make amends and change to make amazing games, but why can't developers just see the writing on the wall and give these titles the work they need. The first step is to be honest with ourselves and not ask for an insanely expansive game of "100s of hours of content" or the "biggest worldspace ever". Just promise and deliver a great, engaging game and I'll be more than happy.

[@SoundEssenceZ]

Truly a next gen experience, tod howard is proud :D

[@cheeznarcan901]

Unfortunately I have to agree as much as I try to blind myself because Im a Bethesda fanboy, there was a game breaking bug in the Ryujin questline that killed it for me entirely and its really sad because of the anticipation I personally had for this game

[@theabaw2659]

You definitely have more patience than me. I gave up on Starfield after 20 hours. Bugs aside, it’s literally “Fetch Quest: The Game”

[@pesky19]

it's understandable, even without the bugs starfield is really bad, to try and roleplay through it would be tough in it self

[@r3dp9]

I'm honestly impressed Rycon made it as far as he did with Starfield. My first 60 hours were spent ignoring the problems, my last 60 hours were spent trying to find a single speck of story, character, or gameplay that would make putting up with those problems worth it. I found one likeable NPC who didn't act like a baby or try to gaslight me (Vasco), and I found one cool quest (the alternate timeline one). That was it. There's simply no freedom. If you don't like a quest, you have no choice but to complete it. You won't get a new "random" quest until you complete an existing quest, so if you don't like any of your existing quests, you're stuck. The world might be open, but the quests and stories are a poorly disguised railroad. Worse, even if you play along with the railroad, you'll still encounter jawdroppingly idiotic, patronizing, immersion breaking whiplash. The quest designers couldn't decide if the player was a bigshot, an underdog, a yes-man, a no-man, or the most powerful known being in the galaxy, so there is MASSIVE ludo-narrative dissonance not only when going from one quest to another, but inside a single quest! If an NPC has bad dialogue, that's a bad NPC. No biggie. It's when the PLAYER CHARACTER has bad dialogue, and ONLY bad dialogue options, that I got me irked. Why would a psionic super solder wielding a BFG 9000 meekly cower when a common street thug points a low caliber weapon at my head? On a pirate base where pirates kill pirates over perceived slights, why am I not allowed to shoot the guy who outright promised to kill me in public? For that matter, why is there an option to betray the navy if the leader of the navy is an immortal essential NPC?

[@draeath]

So strange. I'd run into plenty of little bugs, but never anything quite like that.

[@Coddykin]

Completely understand, Rycon. I know how much of a pain Fallout and Skyrim are so if Starfield broke you it must have been really bad.

[@buzzbros2002]

If this became the series you totally broke the fourth wall in and went all goofy with it, I would not blame you.

I could not help but laugh at the body not just start noodling around the room but breaking down into a mess of pixels around the room. Oddly when it does that it seems to act as if there is code for dismemberment even if that is not in the game.

Non star field related Question I've been wanting to ask for a while, But this seems as good a spot to ask as any. Would you consider doing a play through, either a soft roleplay or let's play of BG3?

[@mousje4647]

I feel a Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord coming 😁

[@lauradeneault3525]

With the last update, time to get back to it😊

[@spacebearcadet746]

Well, given the whole plot is basically "timey-wimey ball + multiverse theory = game", a charitable sort would wave it away as the breakdown of reality approaching natural entropy. I stopped being charitable for Bethesda after releasing paid mods for Skyrim. But, you do you.

[@raph43L]

Ohhh so that's why lol!! I guess like alot of us just have to wait after a few big updates and overhaul mods. Shelve the game for now and try again with a "new character" after the 1st dlc is out that's what I'm currently doing :) Looking forward to whatever is next

Starfield came for free with some hardware I bought. I tried it for maybe ten hours, and just couldn't take any more; although I heard it apparently improves the more you play, my response is that if a game can't capture my interest within the first ten hours, it's not worth the time. Amongst the many other issues, Bethesda stepped away from their greatest strengths, that of open world exploration and environmental story-telling. Meanwhile, they tried to lean more into the narrative side of things; sorry, but when I'm in the mood for a fantastic story-based game, Bethesda is NOT where I look, there are so many other options that do it better.

You got about as far as I did before getting bored sh*tless. I don't blame you, it's just not a good game. Space travel is replaced by menus and loading screens (compared to Star Citizen and No Mans Sky), the enemies are bullet sponges, there's a huge lack of weapon variety, the planets are barren save for like one outpost on the entire rock, you can't have a "bad-guy" companion or an "evil" playthrough (I wanted to play as a raider and ignore the main story - turns out you really can't, and the companions are all generic good-guys), and the AI is atrocious, very reminiscent of Oblivion (which in 2023 was not a good thing). It's sad, it could have been a great game had they cared enough to make it one.

[@Joarrost]

Reminds me of GPU problems, but I really don't know what kinds of bugs others have in Starfield

[@blackwatertv7018]

I loved playing Starfield, however I don’t blame you. Personally, I’m waiting on the MOD seem to kick off as well as much-needed updates to get it up to snuff.

[@kenmck7802]

Funny how YOU can find reproduceable bugs yet Bethesda after EIGHT YEARS, well these are ...NEWS to them.

[@itzstone]

Could always do a stalker gamma story, ive seen some videos with a great cinematic spin on it, and i think it compliments your playstyle well, and has a good amount of story RP to it.

[@snarkanoid]

I was so excited to see your Starfield roleplay, but then I played it... It was such a disheartenig experience for the state of AAA games. Huge let down, and I definitely don't blame you. You're making the right choice and excited to see what you get into next.

[@lorddrakkon5336]

L've never seen that bug but dahm that sucks was loving this RRP

[@Runelee1]

Well, if you're willing to give it a go at the end of April, Fallout London is going to have a silent protagonist. Might be a good candidate for the next series.

[@Drebin2293]

Starfield needs a few more years of patches. That seems to be the case with most of these games these days. Even after another year in the oven, this game released in a pretty sad state. Ever since the whole 'we'll release it and then patch it until it's fixed' mentality caught on things have went to shit.

[@haderak149]

Ah, that sucks. But give Bethesda (*cough* modders) enough time and it'll be worth a revisit. If you're seeking a palate cleanser in the meantime I can thoroughly recommend "Last Train Home". Not for RP, but to reboot your storyteller brain.

[@Zydrin]

Nolvus modlist on Skyrim, do a Vigilants of Stendarr build and go through Vigilant quest line. ;)

[@max3d0utgaming18]

Okay I don't know if this is something that'll be fixed soon but depending on how fast Bethesda releases some of the bug fixes and modding tools you may not have to scrap the series if you don't want to you may be able to get the game fixed sometimes Bethesda fixes their games sometimes mod developers fix their games when the mod tools come out it might be fixable in a few months just give it some time

[@seamusfinnegan1164]

So whats next exactly then? maybe a return to some games you have not done in awhile like Project Zomboid or another new game you have not roleplayed with? or a focus on the tabletop content further?
