[@dearen7588]

@@12ealDealOfficial I don't think the MS acquisition is at fault. Bethesda has been an amusement park of sorts for a while now. You hop on a ride, shut off your brain and have fun for little while. There's no active effort to create something deep and meaningful. This looks like the same Bethesda that developed Skyrim and Fallout 4 to me. It's just that they were in over their heads with the scope of Starfield.

[@amazinghorizon8270]

​@@dearen7588 „ This looks like the same Bethesda that developed Skyrim and Fallout 4 to me.“ How so? In Skyrim they still managed to get small details in, like NPCs reacting to you approaching with a weapon drawn, running into them, the type of armor/equipment you wear, … They had an absolutely awesome soundtrack, instead of just a good one, and they still knew how to make the core game loop fun and exciting, while the core game loop for Starfield is walking 3-5 minutes through a boring looking place with nothing to discover. Also for Starfield they had ~3x the time and ~4x the people than for Skyrim. Does it feel to you like 12x the amount of work went into Starfield over Skyrim? To me it clearly doesn‘t. Starfield from the setting is clearly the best one to make exploration a focus, which since Morrowind has been Bethesdas strong suit. But somehow Bethesda managed to make exploration worse than in any other game they have released in the past 21 years. So again how does this seem like the same Bethesda to you? When the things they were previously good at are now their weak points.

[@zhenweilai799]

I HATE Bethesda's fucking persuasion dice rolling system. Obsidian figured out a great way to pull it off by having the character's Speech/Charisma meet a certain threshold to pass, that way you're not stuck with 100 speech and failing a critical persuasion check or ending up with an exact situation you have here. Much like real life, I'm not suddenly going to be the most persuasive person on the planet for exactly 5 seconds because I got lucky - I'd be persuasive if I understood how people spoke and how I can manipulate that into my favor.

[@jjcoola998]

still means you chose the persuade option, but yeah dumb shit, skipped this game after fallout 76 and fallout 4 being shit when all they had to do was follow the script to succeed

[@Geolas88]

@@testedhawk In all honesty the downside of that system was that if you had your speech one point below that threshold you're pretty much dicked. Thats like being 3 words short to persuade someone. Maybe a combination of the systems would be good, where a certain threshold guarantees success but below that your chances get exponentially lower with each point.

[@demilung]

Also, this video made me realise that Bethesda had the perfect way to subvert the usage of "essential NPC" - because in order to complete the main quest all you actually need to do is just find all the artifacts, you don't REALLY need any specific person for it, just have artifact data be stored in the Eye's computer "Yes-man" style and go from there. Actually have a reason for dimention hopping - to find things that you missed because someone died.

[@victorkreig6089]

Nah they do make sense, the problem is that regardless of your persuasion level some options don't work at all depending on what you started the convo with. You're basically playing for a set number of points to be successful and if you over shoot or don't do the right set number combo you fail. The funny thing is you can basically brute force some convos that have a limited number of options like say stacking multiple +1 choices if you pick the right sequence. It's obvious what they were going for and it COULD have worked, but just like the system in Oblivion the execution didn't stick the landing

Easiest way to level up is to find a planet with Iron and Aluminium (Nikola has a planet like that), make an outpost where both intersect, place extractors for both metals, connect them to a transfer storage, place an industrial workbench next to it, and just keep making adaptive frames. They only give 1xp, but when youre making thousands of them at once it adds up. Just wait a day until the extractors farm enough, take them out of storage, turn around to your workbench and spam adaptive frames. Went from like 40 to 90 in 2-3 hours

I find it incredibly amusing that Todd Howard cited the 1985 space trading game 'Sundog' as inspiration for this, as many of the issues brought up here (esp inventory and tracking requirements) were the biggest issues in that game too. But it did it with a smaller curated set of planets instead of procgen, so maybe it was better back then?

[@rockapartie]

It is the most ridiculous procgen I've ever seen in a game, because only the planet surfaces are generated, but the buildings, caves etc. are all from a tiny pool of ca. 30 pre-made assets (less than 10 of them take more than 5 minutes to explore) and even safes, loot boxes, skill magazines, clutter, what have you, are in the exact same spots.
