What are you hoping to see in the future that hasn't been announced yet?

[@user-tp5yb4hr4w]

improvement's are always welcome in games, will it bring people back? well i suppose this all depends on what is updated and what most people want before they come back to the game. for me, i'm going to continue to play FO4, i delayed the update so i have a stable game, maybe they will fix the game in the next update, because otherwise i will stay on the last version and not upgrade until they fix everything they broke.

Starfield desperately needs new enemy types and way more weapons

[@evtron_prime2295]

💯 the piece it’s missing is that we don’t see the human enemies doing anything that puts them in the way of creatures or other enemies. In Fallout 4 it was the most fun to see a BOS patrol bump into a pack of Super Mutants or Raiders.

[@jammaples]

@@evtron_prime2295 The other day I stroll up to one of the larger surface POIs for a bounty that has the hangars on either end, with the “guard” tower in the center. I notice from a distance gunfire pouring out of both hangars. I run up and there are 2 of the larger creatures with the glowing ball hands and they are going HAM. So I join them and clear the few, and I do mean few remaining enemies. It was a surprise and an absolute blast. Co-op with some big bugs. Would love more of that. Catch a smile out there. o7

[@zippo71111]

@@evtron_prime2295 Exactly and i miss this in many games. Some of the most memorable gaming moments for me was making monsters fight each other in classic doom or enemy factions fighting each other on halo ce. Something that halo 3 unfortunately lacked. Fallout 4 also have many of these moments and it makes the world seem more realistic and fair rather than everything vs you.

[@wizkid915]

More importantly more random dungeons. You can only run through so many cryo facilities, abandoned mines, and biotech research labs before it gets old

[@whytejeebus]

​@@wizkid915 this. Exactly this. Starfield is a really great game but it's so shallow for what it offers. 100+ planets and moons you can land on. Every single one has the exact same dungeons to explore with a few exceptions. We paid full price to be beta testers. And they have the audacity to want to implement paid mods?!?

[@RobnDob]

A step in the right direction. Maps and land vehicles.

Definitely has potential but it still fails as an RPG and an Space Exploration simulator. It’s hard to really pinpoint what it does better than it’s competitors aside from the ship building

[@t4ngo_kilo]

Same! I will happily revisit this game soon.

[@charlesslaton5924]

They will 100% abandon it after the single expansion comes out. Just like they did with every game they've made.

[@cls-py8uh]

@@goofysmp As a space exploration RPG, depending on one's preferences, Starfield barely has any competition. For me, the stealth-archery dungeon-crawling aspect of Starfield is just too good as a gaming philosophy, and other games, like No Man's Sky, completely lacks such a system of integrated stealth-archery dungeon-crawling looting/crafting gameplay. And, given how impressive the Skyrim modding community is with the Creation Kit, and how impressive the Starfield modding community already is without the Creation Kit, the potential is likely going to be truly expansive.

[@benji7275]

Playing the Beta on steam right now and its actually quite huge not just from a quality of life perspective but in terms of gameplay, my favourite feature being "sustenance" its off by default but gives you free buffs if you eat and drink, there's also a starvation option which encourages the player to eat

[@Skooma_Addict42]

I never heard the argument vehicles not being possible in creation engine they didn’t have vehicles in fallout cause it would make the world feel smaller don’t forget Skyrim had horses cars are ironically easier to program than running player models as for flying fast in fallout (with mods) the pop in is pretty brutal when ur moving fast enough if they were to have vehicles in the next fallout they would have to decrease density and increase map size personally I would love a fallout game that plays and feels just like New Vegas

[@randomhero6365]

They are gonna need a massive redesign or you'll have to use loading screens in vehicle because of how their planets are broken into small "bubble" zones

It just makes sense, both from a workload and marketing perspective to wait months and drop major updates rather than fixing little things in a piecemeal way, unless they're something critical like a game breaking bug. I suspect we won't see too much after this update until Shattered Space drops, but that's honestly fine. I want them to take their time with fixing this game.

This, I really hope that when you can edit the ship you can change the placement of the doors and ladders. I had a few designs that I like the outer appearance that I had to change because it kept giving me the could not find a path. When I finally got it to function the doors and ladders were all over the place. It would be great to be able to fix how the ship layout is so I can have a direct line to my cockpit and more intuitive routes for the rest of the ship.

[@HaddaClu]

@@mat99rich I wonder if the placement issues has to do with the ship boarding actions making them into mini dungeons. Need to make it a challenge for the NPCs and players or something.

When he goes "First 'Land' vehicle", makes me wonder if he's referencing the spaceship or there will be some in atmosphere flying pod we can use. Which kind of reminds me that I wish there was a capital ship system in which you would have a large capital ship that would act as a mobile base, that you could then pilot your own dropship down to the surface of places.

[@willm.9687]

I feel like we could find an old colony ship that was in lore that looks like something that the RDA sent to Pandora from Avatar. That would be a neat orbit-only ship where you could add certain modules to either drop stuff from orbit or launch one of your ships from a docking cradle or shuttlepod bay out of something like Star Trek Enterprise (for something smaller as you mentioned). The modders could add an Air Support module that launches railgun or artillery rounds down on ground targets like MAC rounds in Halo Wars from orbit lol Or a mini ICBM that acts like an EMP warhead or something not too destructive for a civilian to acquire but still looks really fun.

[@kahleeb624]

I gotta say Bethesda legit heard the criticism loud and clear and really seem to have understood the reasons people were upset. The constant loading screens is still a sticker for me but the things they are adding and the dlc and the way they were talking about really seems like they were hit hard by people's reaction and took that to heart to actually improve the game. At least the game wasn't really broken at release and was simply disappointing. Really glad to see them doing this. Its still Bethezda though so who knows. Lol

[@TheIronMelon]

yeah the loading screens and lack of land vehicles were the main things to throw me off initially. glad vehicles are being added. it would be cool if they somehow decreased the loading screens but thats the sort of thing that would require big system and map overhauls, they probably wont do it.

Is it just me or do the new maps show just how much of the planets is actually uninteresting empty space?

True. Which makes you wonder if that’s the reason the maps were so terrible. Maybe a way to hide it. This game only really works is if you follow the mission / content parts of the game. Maybe they will make exploration more interesting over time but that’s going to be the super hard task. Maybe the hardest task in all of gaming with the game they chose to make.

[@Nerd_Vs_TheWorld]

The problem is that unless you do a cyberpunk or no man sky move this will remain a broken game. Knowing bethesda i think they will put some effort in the dlc, problem is i don't want to give them money for this game anymore. We deserve better than this.

[@tysondempsey1121]

"So I was predominantly drinking bourbon to stay hydrated, just like in real life." 😂

So basically, they just create a graphic interface for your good old ini tweak. Not a bad change I guess, a lot more people, especially on console side will probably find this very useful and many of these will no longer be needed to be modded in.

[@jasonz2736]

Exactly what I thought, was replaying modded Skyrim for the fiftieth time

[@TeronRedoran]

More than that, it's a light survival mode update. Need to eat and drink to not be debuffed, normal debuffs are easier to stack up and harder to get rid of, healing can be made slower and you can't heal in bed, etc. Glad to see it in, it'll definitely help the game out.

[@mrbosky710]

Once they drop the rover and new quests update I'll be back in, they're definitely heading in the right direction. They just need to figure out ways to cut down the loading screens for the DLC otherwise I probably won't buy it

[@Ray-dl5mp]

Good call. That would be fun.

[@Snillomator]

So I've got a list of things that I think a lot of people want Starfield to have/be added to make it a game they would play. 1. Land Vehicles to make traveling on planets less boring between locations and much faster - ON ITS WAY 2. Maps/better maps - ON ITS WAY 3. Less loading screens - PROBABLY WITH MODS 4. More exciting space content - HOPEFULLY IN ANOTHER UPDATE OR WITH MODS (build your own station in space? Space walk?) 5. Full control over decorating of ship interior - ON ITS WAY 6. Full survival - HOPEFULLY IN ANOTHER UPDATE OR WITH MODS (This current update really feels like they're in the progress of implementing it/ I mean more extreme things like radiation and weather having more severe consequences to the player) 7. Immersive planet to space travel and no tile maps on planets - Probably never coming as even modders have said they wont mod the game due to this being a problem with the games engine. 8. An interesting actual story - HOPE WITH THE DLC. Imagine no intelligent aliens in a space rpg lol. 9. Improved base building options - HOPE ITS IN AN UPDATE OR WAIT FOR MODS (a complete back pedal from Fallout 4s settlement building, and with such limited options too compared to the houses and bases you see in the game which you can't make) 10. Swim underwater and have water/underwater content. - HOPE FOR AN UPDATE/DLC OR WITH MODS 11. More variety of enemies - HOPE ITS IN AN UPDATE/DLC OR WAIT FOR MODS 12. More variety of POIs on planets - HOPE ITS IN AN UPDATE/DLC OR WAIT FOR MODS (really tired of exploring the same cave/building twice in a row on two planets half way across the galaxy from each other, mods will likely fix this either way but they shouldn't be expecting modders to fix this for them) 13. More interesting terrain e.g rivers, waterfalls etc - HOPE ITS IN AN UPDATE/DLC OR WAIT FOR MODS.

Vertibirds in Fallout 4, space ships in Starfield... I think he was just referring to this being the first vehicle Bethesda has had to design to work on the ground specifically.

[@skyriminspace]

You know as soon as they said "new ways to travel" my mind instantly went to FO4's Vertibirds. I'm really excited for a dune buggy, that could be so much fun on a huge open map. I'd drive around with no real purpose other than for fun! But some sort of autopiloted hovering transport would be great too. Imagine flying past an enemy installation firing shots as you go.

There are other features added that aren't mentioned in the patch notes and ive been testing this. More varied hostile bases that are closer to your landing point and sometimes connected by caves even. Ship landing is back with more varied ships to steal if you scam landings The extreme difficulty and hunger/thirst settings make it actually challenging and food feels more important like a true survival mode.

8:15 I don't know I like it like that actually. Anyone who has played Bethesda games knows full well some companions or even NPC's can sometimes inadvertently push you around when you're in a dialogue tree due to their pathing. I can't tell you the number of times companions in say Fallout 4 nearly got me killed because they pathed to a workbench or armor bench while I was stuck in a dialogue tree of some type.😖 That said though this update looks REALLY good.

If they start adding hand crafted planets as DLCs they're going do a lovely a comeback! I will give this a a chance again if that's the case. Redemption arc or not? We'll see.

[@All_Knowing_Truth]

Excited to play Starfield again for when the Shattered Space expansion releases. In the meantime, I'm enjoying my modded playthrough of Fallout Tales of the Two Wastelands which should keep me busy for a while lol

[@Drabbo]

Starfield is like Cyberpunk 2077, it’s going to need 2/3 years worth of updates and MORE THAN ONE DLC, to be amazing. But it does look like it’s coming along very nicely.

[@thomgizziz]

No. They are nothing alike. You are just slow and bought into nonsense from the media. Cyberpunk was a good game from the time it dropped and the only major problem was they should have never tried to put it on the older consoles. The story didnt change at all and gameplay barely changed in the 3 years between everybody crapping on it and everybody praising it. All you are proving is that you will listen and believe any old nonsense the journos say to the point that you will ignore people that actually played the game and keep being on the negative hype train just so you feel like you are in the popular group. Completely brain dead.

[@arronstone177]

Agree. I’m gonna wait 2 years then maybe jump back in.

[@motivateddad]

IF Starfield gets more than one DLC (expansions, not creations), we can at least throw that point to Cyberpunk comparisons.

[@krink084]

I wouldn't say the update is amazing, but I'm happy to see they're continuing to improve the game. I'll definitely play Shattered Space, but my hopes aren't high for what it will bring.

[@ptown24]

Im not impressed with this game visually it looks good though

This is a breath of fresh air and honestly, as a marketing professional, you can easily tell their entire communication strategy has shifted and changed, almost reset. It's now much more solid and professional, as a game company of this size and reputation needs. You can also see how in true Bethesda fashion, a game comes into its own after some significant updates. We've seen the same thing with Fallout 4 and Far Harbor, Fallout 76 and Wastelanders, and now Starfield with Shattered Space. I already love Starfield, I've got 380+ hours in it, but after my first Unity jump, it hasn't felt the same. But I'm 100% sure I'll go back after the rover is released and go through Unity again. The new official mod system also has me really excited. Lots of improvements, I'm happy they're continuing to do right by fans.

[@benhawk4214]

Would you rather they just give up on the game and leave it out. Sure, maps should have been in the base game, but they're adding them now so why does it matter?

[@INFNIT_]

Ah yes features multiple games have, ignoring the fact that those games don’t all have the same features BGS games have. Those other games don’t give me the option to go 3rd and first person, have story quests, fluid combat, dog fighting, base building/ship building , survival and immersive sim features all in the same game.

[@skyriminspace]

@@INFNIT_ It's mad what they can cram into a vanilla bethesda game. I gather from my own "research" (watching youtube....) that for a lot of people who don't have much time to game, they will pick one game & that's all they need. So it needs to be a game with a lot of variety, fast & slow paced moments, crafting, building, combat & so on. Bethesda have specialised in making that type of game I think, & they're super popular with "casual gamers" like myself for that reason. Long may it continue.

[@marloncebo242]

I think the biggest failure in starfield, besides having sweet baby inc get involved, was not having any reason to upgrade your ship, because ship battles were awful and pointless. Spaceborne 2 was made by one guy and has more interesting space battles and combat with the ships that come with it.

I remember the first time I played skyrim, talking to Alvor, that's when it hit me, i could walk around and mess with stuff, while maintaining the conversation. I felt like the approach to conversation was a improvement. My issues were always with the content of the conversations, the lack of meaningful choices, and a lack of use for the speechcraft skill. Seeing them changing up the dialog again, it makes me wonder if they have end goal how they want a conversation to be.

[@lancelange9377]

People judge Bethesda games based on how good other games look without taking into account the vast difference in scope. Bethesda should be commended for their loyalty to older games. Yes it sacrifices new game progress. But i'm tired of games being dropped by some devs way too eager to move onto the next installment.

[@Anzyn]

The main problem is that Bethesda doesn’t focus on quality, they mostly release half a game and than slowly add more in the years, it’s frustrating

[@lancelange9377]
