Just wow

rough forge
#

I like the idea that you get sidequests from overhearing conversations. It's neat. But it also feels like Todd Howard is right next to me shouting "seee look how big the game is! so much content"

#

Walk 50m and get 3 new quests

vale pawn
#

anyone seen a time gated quest?

thin pilot
#

Nope

#

Bethesda said there weren't any iirc

thin pilot
rough forge
#

Yeah it does seem to be a mostly first time thing. It's also a good way to make sure players don't miss quests. I'm just complaining really.

thin pilot
#

@charred flower mags leave your inventory BUT their benefits don't disappear

vale pawn
#

ARGGG there is no rotation snapping
and I can't get things not cockeyed in my home

#

oh that is comical
one side of a display case holds 3 items, no matter the item

#

Shit where did I sell the heart of deimos

#

Well house is kinda disappointing
It doesnt have any kind of central storage, but you can place crates which hold 150 weight
I just need to get a two aluminum and 4 structural for each crate

civic drift
#

I knocked out an enemy ship’s engines and they straight killed me by doing that. The AI is deadly when you knock their engines.

civic drift
#

I was in the middle of trying to not die at the time. I failed. First and only ship death so far

#

Also my controller left joystick has gone drifty wifty

#

Had to switch to my dad’s controller

vale pawn
#

I had a few deaths in ship already

#

Turns out taking a smugglers package makes the client mad
and then they jumped me right after I warp in

civic drift
#

Nice lmao

#

Is there a place to sell contraband on akila? I don’t have shielded cargo and opened up a contraband cache that had a lot of stuff in it

thin pilot
#

I've done my intial semi-rush run(and feel a bit guilty seeing things like "dont rush it") but now settling in for the long haul

civic drift
#

I’m doing a mix of focusing on main quests and then getting completely distracted for hours at a time

#

I leveled up like 3 times on one planet trying to do a scanning side quest and all 3 points I shoved into the scanning peel

vale pawn
#

Need more to fill the cabinet

civic drift
#

Lmao nice

#

The potato item description is a LotR reference

vale pawn
#

note: If the the robots at the wind farm are warning you to not enter the work area. don't enter the work area.

#

oh..|| there is a terminal inside to authorize human workforce||

rough forge
#

Found an area like that but ||the terminal had bugged outand wouldn't let me use it|| Was wondering if that's what it was supposed to do

civic drift
#

Does Akila City have somewhere to sell contraband?

thin pilot
#

Trade authority

#

They'll buy anything

civic drift
#

yeet good to know

#

My dad got home so i had to get off his xbox, but I'll be getting on later tonight to sell the 120k in contraband I found

#

I wanna build my own ship (and I'll probably make a sleek little fighter ship) but I don't have access to higher tier parts yet

thin pilot
#

This has given me the itch to play no man's sky again

#

But I've done the beginning so many times

#

And there's just.. no goal

#

Or well

#

Grind and exploration of an infinite area doesn't hold my attention anymore

#

I really want to be that guy that plays it endlessly and builds massive monuments

#

but i just can't get into it

old briar
#

Mildly amusing meme. Hope it made you exhale air thru your nose in amusement

thin pilot
#

I'll be honest

#

I completely missed the pronoun option

#

Just didn't even register it was a thing

old briar
#

Haha

#

Yeah it's just a lil thing

thin pilot
#

Like, i geniunely thought they just made it up for something to get mad at

thin pilot
#

Maaan

#

I didn't spend enough time exploring the cities

#

The children are adorable

#

Their actual characters this time around

#

Haha

#

One shopkeepers tells you to fuck off if you ask to buy a digital book

civic drift
#

The only child I’ve seen is ||Sam’s kid||

#

I’ve run around the cities a good bit

#

Never seen any kids

vale pawn
vale pawn
civic drift
#

Oh yeah, there was that one kid during the tree quest

#

I forgot about him, since he had like 5 lines max

civic drift
old briar
vale pawn
old briar
#

u wot

#

you're right

old briar
#

Huh.. turning scanner on will auto switch you to the mining lazer

vale pawn
#

yup handy
Also hold right click with cutter, doesnt look like it changes anything but it mines WAY faster

old briar
#

Yeah I saw that tip in a video

vale pawn
#

Also had a actually kinda scary moment
fought a couple of Twistfins for the first time

old briar
#

she's cute...

charred flower
#

People giving low effort tips on drilling huh
What about the tip that the sound it makes and the reticule will change when you are hitting something valid, especially in the case of glitchy resources around artefacts

vale pawn
#

yea its dumb that you need to have the name popup for it to do anything is clunky

charred flower
#

Scanning also confuses me, sometimes the game outright refuses to scan a dead creature, then later it's happy to accept dead creatures

old briar
#

Won my first space battle

#

I like the space combay

civic drift
#

It's simple and not overly complicated

#

Which is nice

#

I plan on making a non-lethal fighter so I can steal all the ships of pirates >:)

vale pawn
old briar
#

Take out the weakest ones and board the big Boi for max loot

#

Huh, that was an interesting side quest chain

#

I flew to a random system and got a distress call from a research outpost, and suddenly I'

#

*I'm wrapped up in this big conflict against raiding spacers that's brought the local FC rangers and even a squad of UC marines together for mutual survival

#

Will the frostbite condition I got while running around on this iceball fade over time?

#

Or do I need to specifically cure it

vale pawn
#

I think you need to cure it, or go see a doc

old briar
#

Aye

vale pawn
#

There is cellular regen in T3 phys but that is big investment

old briar
#

Jeez some of the random space encounters are hilarious

vale pawn
#

ooookk didn't know there was zero g areas

keen haven
#

i do want that regen but im only close to it cause ive been spending points in weight gain

old briar
#

pretty space game

vale pawn
#

custom ship?

old briar
#

nope, it comes from a quest

#

One I was severely underleveled for

vale pawn
#

ahh

old briar
#

that's the one where all my moaning about medpacks came from

keen haven
#

damn you were fast

old briar
#

I did it at level 8

keen haven
#

im just making my way there doing things

old briar
#

I just saw "ooh quest" and was not prepared

keen haven
#

im probably doing it at level 9 or 10 when i finally reach it

#

im saving my laser rifle ammo so i at least have an advantage when i go over there

old briar
#

I've somehow accumulated over a thousand shots of the Equinox's laser ammo type so I have one of those as my basic trash clearing rifle

#

combined with the double barrel cuz I have a few hundred shots for that, and that's a very ammo efficient gun

keen haven
#

ive been randomly finding a good one here and there combined with my laser rifle perk

#

combined with having robot buddy with me

old briar
#

yee

charred flower
#

Funnily enough I have a medpack equinox that I just hand to the NPC, seems to work good enough

old briar
#

I mentioned it yesterday but I have Sarah as my buddy with the grenade rifle thing. The classic bethesda "give a companion 1 ammo and they'll have infinite" trick is quite effective with big guns

vale pawn
#

Who needs lasers when you got a magnum

old briar
#

I'd use one of those if I had more ammo for it

vale pawn
#

I buy all .43 that I see

old briar
#

also I found an interesting gun here that I've yet to try out

vale pawn
#

I just wish I could see a weapons lvl becuase for some reason this one does like 6x the dmg of other identical ones I have found since

old briar
#

oh jeez weapons have levels?

vale pawn
#

pretty sure yea, some kind of hidden lvl system for gear

#

its the only way I can explain that stupid pistol

#

like it one shots anything fleshy lvl 15 or lower

#

bots usually take a few

charred flower
#

I was writing off all the deviance in the weapons as the mods, theres some big stat changes depending on the mods used

#

Pretty sure it comes down to the rarity and mods

old briar
#

maybe it's the "Boosted" prefix on that revolver

#

but idk

vale pawn
#

Jaz, that pistol dropped naked with nothing, those three mods I added and none add dmg If I remember right

charred flower
#

Prefixes generally reflect the mods the weapon generated with

#

Or was made into is it?

#

It generates a new name when you mod a weapon?

vale pawn
#

usually it says modified but I guess it drops that when you add even more?

charred flower
#

Sigh

#

Time for Jaz to break out the spreadsheets

vale pawn
#

Wow it's just that easy.
||Recued Barret by just walking in and asking for him, since I am currently a member of the Crimson fleet for a different quest||

charred flower
#

Ok, so heres a completely default Eon, from the tutorial area that I decided not to pick up before
That means, L1 planet, tutorial zone, no buffs to this weapon

#

We all agree thats a L1, unmodified Eon?

#

Time to go hunt for an Eon from a L50 area I guess

#

I will be doing this both ways, I have a L1 weapon I will be modding 'to the quality of' the one I loot from a higher planet, and then I shall mod that higher planets Eon, to unmodded

vale pawn
#

Something I just considered, do perks effect the weapon stat cards?

charred flower
#

I have absolutely no weapon perks

#

And I really mean that

#

So this is about as default a check as you can get

#

Anyway, I'm gonna spend the next 20 minutes trying to hunt down an Eon of basic rarity

#

See you in about 3 years

civic drift
#

The weapons are leveled with names. So the base guns are just the guns with their names and stuff. A more powerful version that I’ve run into for those guns is having “calibrated” as a prefix word to it

#

I’m not a very high level (like level 16 I think?) so I’ve not run into much higher right now

vale pawn
#

just found this in a lvl 10 system

charred flower
#

I am somewhat amused by this weapon

keen haven
#

i became aware of that after seeing the heavy weapon perk

#

thats a weapon in real life you would not want to be firing in space

vale pawn
#

I saw the UC surplus guy down in the Well had two in boxes on the showroom floor but not one in his shop to buy

vale pawn
#

actually kinda makes me want to take it to a zeroG location and see if it actually does push you

old briar
#

so. I think I had a rocky start with starfield

#

But now that I've gotten used to it's quirks, I'm having a lot less frustrations and a lot more fun

keen haven
#

its been mostly fine for me

#

only when im fighting aliens up close is when i struggle really

#

seriously dont try to melee aliens

civic drift
#

I have yet to run into a zeroG location

civic drift
keen haven
#

me too

#

mostly been on the surface or in my ship

vale pawn
#

Only one I found was a derelic casino in orbit of my dream homes planet

#

and it was intentionally zero-g, whole thing designed to be floating around

keen haven
#

that and ive got a balanced boost pack now

civic drift
#

Balanced boost pack and like two levels in its perk is all you need to reach orbit lmao

keen haven
#

im still only on the first rank i can upgrade it if i have a point but im spending that elsewhere

charred flower
#

I gotta say, whatever my rifle is after I've given it a long barrel, I really like this Orion gun, it fires two parallel shots per ammo

keen haven
#

i want that!

#

mainly cause its a laser

charred flower
#

:3

keen haven
#

now i gotta figure out where i can get a orion now

charred flower
#

I've been getting them in L25-30 areas

keen haven
#

also do you just buy ammo or just loot it from where ever

charred flower
#

I have only ever looted ammo

#

I never use rapid fire guns and I'll usually shoot individual shots

civic drift
#

Bethesda has never made automatic guns feel worth it

keen haven
#

my ammo is slowly growing cause i was mostly meleeing and ive got a Cutlass

charred flower
#

I'm the type of person who would aim to shoot 1 bullet on a semi auto

vale pawn
#

dahell, they have gyrojet pistols

keen haven
#

that and i got a knife that lets me kill robots fast

civic drift
#

Other than maybe in 76, if only because enemies tend to be weighted to drop the ammo you’re using

charred flower
keen haven
#

mines the more thinner bladed one

charred flower
#

Then I have my axe of bot shredding

vale pawn
#

That reminds me, I started as a former bouncer and have only meleed like 3 things the whole game

keen haven
#

i think it does more damage then my cutlass but i prefer a longer blade

#

its in the 20s in terms of damage i think for both

charred flower
#

This game better hope that none of this is 'to scale' or there shouldn't be anything besides a star here

#

Seeing how the planet is 'cold' with high gravity

#

'Cold' as in 'a frozen planet'

#

According to resources

vale pawn
#

well Im a little peeved
I clicked the stolen one, guess which it used

charred flower
#

The funny thing about that is that I'm pretty sure I've never stolen a medpack before, I'm almost assuming that its seperating them for some reason

vale pawn
#

I don't even know when I stole it, just saw it a while ago when looking for random food to eat

charred flower
#

Nah seems to be a dagger of sorts

vale pawn
#

freaking baby bat'leth

keen haven
#

them va ruun sure do have a number of good blades it seems

livid fossil
#

Hoo!

#

(the ui is really not user friendly

keen haven
#

well im glad the crimson ship that fled from me before i could walk inside is actually just in space above me for me to then board there

keen haven
#

ok i find it hilarious that i can just sleep mid battle

vale pawn
vale pawn
#

That is dumb, you have to have three different weapons on a ship
I can't ditched all of kinetic and missile weapons for full particle beams

keen haven
#

one for shields and the other 2 for wrecking the ship after shields are down

vale pawn
#

particle beams care not, they do 50/50
settled on an EM weapon, needed to test one out anyways

keen haven
#

then you probably could go insane and have lots of particle beams

vale pawn
#

except you have to have 3 seperate weapon groups
got two heavier particle beams and two burst fire particle beams then a single EM

keen haven
#

thats still mostly all particle beams so i dont see problem here

i think i may have a problem

Jaz-32 hours
Murgle-13 hours
Wander-108 Minutes
Weegy-52.3 hours

keen haven
#

im only 22 hours

#

.5

thin pilot
#

But i'm behind you guys in progression since i NG+

keen haven
#

i also may of got a small bounty with the freestar cause i had contraband and when they tried to scan me i was just

#

BYE

#

and warped out

#

i was only passing through and i had to leap frog through them to get to where i was going

#

was also funny cause in the next system one of them started blasting at me so i fired back at there ship and sarah got angry

#

shame i couldnt say THEY FIRED FIRST YOU DUMB ASS

#

well that and i finally got a shielded cargo hold so hopefully no one finds my forbidden stuff

thin pilot
#

Also for weapon stuff

#

its nothing calibrated-refined

#

then a third one as well but that slips my mind

keen haven
#

can we upgrade our weapons to that point or do we have to find those

thin pilot
#

Find

civic drift
thin pilot
#

No

#

Its not

#

Take your time is the best advice i can give

keen haven
#

you only get things like a new ship from NG+ dont you

thin pilot
#

I did it in the wrong order, and due to some mental-illness it wouldn't let me feel comfortable doing other storylines till i reset

civic drift
#

Well, I’ll at least unlock the ||power skill tree|| and then go to fuckin around

thin pilot
#

Its VERY GOOD

#

that secret susan mentioned

#

||Theres 25 powers. I only thought there was going to be like 5||

keen haven
#

i was kinda hoping that the ||form powers would be things like you change into some crazy ass things|| but that doesnt seem to be the case

thin pilot
#

Nothing beats the coolness of in a firefight you're losing and desperately waiting for the airlock to cycle to give you cover and a breather

keen haven
#

i had a funny moment where the airlocks were floating i could just walk in and out of a building without having to wait

civic drift
#

Guess who accidentally destroyed some free star collective ships that attacked him

#

While Sam was their companion

#

I’m currently trying to find somewhere to clear my bounty

#

His affinity with me is so low that he’s not far from wanting to abandon me I bet

#

I managed to find a planet in a neutral system to make an outpost and put in a bounty clearing station

thin pilot
#

God i love Akila city

#

its so well designed

#

Neon is probably bethesda's best looking/structured

#

but Akila just has charm

thin pilot
civic drift
#

I’ve gotten back to neutral responses after joining the ||free star rangers|| faction

#

He’ll probably like me pretty well by the end of this faction line

Has anyone else had the school bus event yet?

thin pilot
#

Nooo???

vale pawn
#

Keep an eye out for a ship named the "Mrs. Whitmore"
||Also keep 10 ship parts handy|| couldn't do it since I didn't have enough.

#

But also there was some extra dialog for currently being|| a crimson fleet member||

civic drift
#

Those weigh a ton

vale pawn
#

yea I know but also you know|| keeping your ship together||

civic drift
#

Eh

#

Just don’t get hit

#

I say as I spam ship parts to heal

#

I’m not a fan of getting better ship parts (the kind you build with) being locked behind a skill that’s on the third row

#

Cause that’s already an 8 point sink minimum just to get there

vale pawn
#

next class of reactor is locked behind skill or just the parts?

civic drift
#

Starship Design skill

#

Each tier unlocks better parts to build with, so says the skill description

fair orbit
#

I thought reactor class was under piloting?

civic drift
#

shrug

#

I'm tellin you what i read in the game on the starship design skill description

vale pawn
#

seriously considering just modding my inventory size
having to look though all these containers if I want to craft anything is just shit
and I have to add more but I ran out of aluminum again

#

Like why did they get rid of the workshop inventory/camp chest idea

#

seems like no has published an inventory size mod yet

#

did find this though

#

ahh should have looked for carry weight not inventory

old briar
#

Can you transfer cargo directly between two ships you own?

vale pawn
#

selecting home ship moves inventory automatically

#

I know it works for the cargo hold, not sure about the captains locker

old briar
#

Oh, I see

#

I was hoping to have a huge cargo hauler as a fleet ship and mobile inventory

thin pilot
old briar
#

Cargo link? O.o

thin pilot
#

The way its setup makes me thing its trying to pigeonhole you into
-cargo base
-Light Ship

#

and nice mod raider, thats gonna be superinteresting

#

but for me, i like the cap as my favorite ships are the corvettes/frigates that occupy the sizing starfield gives us in vanilla

civic drift
#

I’m trying to get enough credits to buy a ship I saw for sale on new Atlantis

#

I really liked the look of it

#

But it’s like 200k

#

I’m halfway there though

thin pilot
#

And starfields out for the rest

old briar
#

wow!

#

here comes the tide of gamepass users

thin pilot
#

The amount of people pissed at pronouns is weird

old briar
#

It's sad, but not surprising.

thin pilot
#

Va'ruun stuff is coool

thin pilot
#

Huh

#

i just kidnapped/stole a NPC

keen haven
#

to tell

#

did you tie them up and drag them kicking and screaming onto your ship or is this something weird where they just walked onto your ship and locked a door behind them

thin pilot
#

Nope

#

they just wandered into my Bay

#

and when i lifted off

#

they got schlorped

vale pawn
#

like into your ship?

thin pilot
#

yup

fair orbit
#

Are they still there?

civic drift
#

Fun fact: there is an asteroid that is stuck with the frontier for me

#

Like, I kid you not, this thing has followed me around through every jump and even shown up in ship cutscenes

#

It’s not breakable either

#

It’s just there

fair orbit
#

A friend

its a brother moon baby

#

RUUUUUUN!

congratulations on your adoption

old briar
#

So... Spoil me a little bit on the story, since it hasn't hooked me yet. The artifacts.. ||Is collecting all of them the whole plot, or just act 1 and then something™️ happens when you have them all, or..?||

vale pawn
#

38k creds though -_-

#

just wish the dang thing didn't weigh almost 16 for a single gun

civic drift
#

I love ||commander ikande||

#

I just wanna give him a hug lmao

vale pawn
#

Good dood

keen haven
#

slowly pulls out cutlass

civic drift
#

The moment he told me ||that he considers me as one of his own men|| for as long as I work for him, I started tearing up. Dude genuinely just wants to ||keep people safe and alive||

vale pawn
#

So what landed you in this situation?

civic drift
#

Saw a ship land in the planet I was on

#

Sprinted into it

#

Killed the pirates on it (saving a free star ship that was literally on a sliver of health)

#

Forgot to check cargo hold or even the pirate bodies. Just booted up and jumped over to jemison

#

Yeah. It was literally a 0% chance of being undetected for the contraband. Also got a stolen gun taken too, but it’s fine cause I know where it spawns

vale pawn
#

Ahh got it now
Also why is there no way to directly hand over contraband?

#

I started by picking up a bottle I shouldn't have.

keen haven
#

i picked up a few random things here and there

#

i didnt get it all cause i couldnt get in the master lock

vale pawn
#

There is a terrormorph in New Atlantis.

civic drift
#

Yo?

#

Where?

vale pawn
#

And yes I am still in New Atlantis

#

turns out you can just hop the wall around the city and there is a whole outside

civic drift
#

Yup!

#

It’s not instances

#

It’s a nice callback to their earlier games like morrowind

civic drift
#

The rock follows me between ships

keen haven
#

hurry up and go investigate it and see if its a giant alien

civic drift
#

I can’t. It stays the same distance from me no matter what.

keen haven
#

definitely a giant alien!

#

brother moons come to feed!

#

make us whole!

civic drift
#

||Jivanta|| is a cinnamon role and must be protected at all costs

keen haven
#

why is it always when you hear fire fights on a planet its always someone fighting a terrormorph

#

this time it was a level 44

keen haven
#

but yeh level 44 and im only 12

#

ok nevermind i won

civic drift
#

I have still yet to see one

keen haven
#

i think if you explored on the very first planet you land on you should usually find one

#

the one that escaped the lab i would like to assume

#

im going to be insane now and say i want to see something like you splice yourself with terrormorph genes and you can shift into a terrormorpth werewolf style

civic drift
#

Lmao

#

So I went and surveyed Earth and it looks like ||asteroids really fucked it up||

keen haven
#

ok so this was a funny scenario for me

#

va ruun ship flies into orbit

#

me who killed everyone outside the ship and got on boarded it just as it flew off the surface

fair orbit
#

Bold of them to think they could escape you

charred flower
vale pawn
#

Hol up, you can alter your starting traits
As in I can remove introvert permanently

keen haven
#

so yeh if you want to board a landed enemy ship after you kill everyone get on board REAL quick

keen haven
vale pawn
#

Oh the Bridger is beautiful

#

Ok what idiot thought it was a good idea to stick a scope om a 40mm?

charred flower
#

Long range scopes only

keen haven
#

so it turns out unless i got weak shielded cargo holds they aint perfect

#

i still got found

#

at least i stole back all my loot from the chest

civic drift
# charred flower ||I think they call those nukes||

The surface is literally covered in ||asteroid chunks||. Besides, ||nukes|| wouldn’t have obliterated life and vaporized the oceans. Secondary succession would have taken over too fast. I mean, just look at ||Chernobyl|| as a real life example.

@old briar i found the cheese method of the mantis area

#

a bed

rough forge
#

I have discovered frisbees. AKA low gravity mines

keen haven
#

mines usually only work well if im able to get the hell out of the way once thrown or im flying as i drop them

rough forge
#

On a super low gravity moon right now at .07g and these things fly

charred flower
#

High mobility would imply I'm not carrying the size of a small planet constantly

#

The fact companions will use grenades and stuff though terrifies me

thin pilot
#

I'm 15 hours in on NG+ and haven't done a single main mission

#

I'm just building a base

charred flower
#

I believe is the best reference

rough forge
#

So he took his suit off since we went through an airlock. There's still a big ole hole in facility straight to space though

charred flower
#

It comes with the 'immortal object' tag

#

Immunity to space

rough forge
#

Hahaha. I can take my helmet off in here and walk outside no problem. But if I leave via the airlock it's not okay

civic drift
thin pilot
#

Wish there was a way to access cargo hold in the bay, rather then loading into the ship

civic drift
#

That would technically make more sense, wouldn’t it?

#

Time to inform the modders*

charred flower
#

The game does actually allow some leeway to cargo when you are near the ship

thin pilot
#

oooh

#

okay thanks

civic drift
#

God damn, so many little features they just don’t tell you about

charred flower
#

Yuuup

civic drift
#

Good to know now

charred flower
#

I was bored of entering my ship constantly for it, so I went into the ship menu 'just to check' since I'd seen the option there before, and it does work

civic drift
#

I mean, I don’t mind not being told. Not everything needs to be tutorialized or covered

#

I’m just surprised more than anything

I mean technically for that one at least, the hotkeys were displayed on screen. But yeah; theres some massive gaps in basic things people should know

thin pilot
#

From looking into it, it looks like the common thought is that Bethesda overcorrected

#

cause one of the complaints i remember hearing about f4 was that it held your hand too much

charred flower
#

Honestly I wouldn't even say overcorrected, how about completely missing the point
Fallout 4, by nature of being a series game, would end up with a lot of players having background knowledge on a lot of the components.
All complaints would stem from handholding people who know the style and genre of game they were presenting

ive only just now got the mantis

I've been told if you save before opening the container for mantis, you can save load to random the traits

keen haven
#

depends on what you mean by traits

charred flower

||The three quality trait things the suit comes with due to being legendary||

keen haven

oh that bit

#

im about to customise the ship next time i get on so i at least have some of the tables etc

#

then ill get back on with the story crap

charred flower
#

If they aren't called traits what are they called then, qualities? Bonuses? They are tied to rarity

#

So they aren't mods

keen haven
#

at least i also now get a free armory to properly store my weapons and ensure i hopefully dont get encumbered

#

also turned out my low damage anti robot gun is very effective just knocks them down

#

will probably need to eventually get better gun for that stuff though

also i only really needed rank 2 for security only found one random master lock

okay gathering up besides StarUI what are some non gameplay changing or drastically altering mods that you would use ?

Imma make a dump and you can add / discuss

Looks like theres ~50 unique weapons

But of that modlist. none i'd personally use yet(aside from the Achivements one)

livid fossil

More of a general list with little QoL things that dont alter core gameplay for people to grab

I did kill everyone, except the shopkeepers are all immortal

well plan B, sleep for like 4-5 days

how high is your bounty

vale pawn

went back to right before I started
but highest was I think 380k with about 45 murders

keen haven
#

isnt it if you get arrested it all goes away?

#

then you just steal back all the stuff they confiscated from you before leaving

vale pawn
#

pretty sure yea, but you have to be arrested, not instantly gunned down on sight

keen haven
#

so basically you blast out of there and then return so they attempt to contact you?

vale pawn
#

did that before
traveled back into the city and was instantly shot at
slept for a day and they don't seem to care at ALL anymore, like not even for a bounty

you have plenty of blood then

Sam likes it when you handle things non-violently

They emphasize multiple times, constantly even, that shooting and killing is a last resort.

Twice in the last hour; after completing Sams story line I've hit two 'dislikes that'
Amusing to say the least

#

Its almost like I socially engineered him up to the point I cared about and now don't care

#

This game is BS with crew

#

Outpost security chief "I'll take your going rate" -7500
Named character sat in the chair opposite "I'll take your going rate" -13600

#

I don't know if I should feel ripped off, or if the security guy got the short end

#

It is the difference between a L3 skill and a L1 vs just a L1, but the point stands kinda since 'perk points' are extremely gamey otherwise

#

And now a random L1 engineer costs 6k

#

And here I thought it was just skills, but no its almost completely nonsense

#

Best dialogue choice I've found so far

#

I literally just walked into the place in the full gear of the thing

#

Can't wait to see them try and say 'that can't be true'

charred flower
#

Apparently boarding a 'spacer' ship, all the items on the ship count as stealing

Oh I get it, hostage ship

Hmmmmm

#

I think space generated poorly

charred flower
#

Is it me or are sneak melee attacks impossible?

#

Even when I'm literally in stealth, only hitting caution, the enemies still 'spot' me because theres no delay between the game deciding 'detected' exists

rough forge
#

I almost wonder if Bethesda has main branches of the Creation Engine. One based around fallout and one based around Elder Scrolls. Cause yeah I never had issues in Oblivion or Skyrim sneaking for a melee attack but always had trouble with it in Fallout

#

No clue if it's right but reading the sneak attack thing it's the first thought I had. It's a thought I've had for a while but only just able to fully form it

charred flower
#

Because all that would be needed to 'solve' it would be even a second delay on 'detection', but the AI seems to immediately jump to detecting you without fail, no gap

#

But as it stands, it almost feels like the act of swinging the melee weapon and damaging them, alerts them to not being a sneak attack

#

Wait is that really a thing?

#

Joint pain from sneaking around for 'too long'

#

What

#

No, me in real life has damn joint issues, I don't need my character getting them too

rough forge
#

I love the idea of the afflictions system. Developing a cough cause I stuck my face in a vent of toxic gas is cool. Knees hurting cause you have a specific playstle is not

#

Also surprised the game doesnt seem to have gotten a day 1 patch

rough forge
#

Huh. So sneaking for a tad bit to long get's you the same sprain as jumping off a building and taking a bunch of fall damage

thin pilot
rough forge
#

Also saw this. Screw you Todd my PC is not so outdated it should be running the game like this

thin pilot
#

/with the intial download

#

"We made a game with less graphics and more storage space required than No Mans Sky, and blame the lack of optimization which people were able to do in less than a week before the full release, on the fact that your computers are bad and aren't running with mid-high level components"

rough forge
#

The link in the review is to interview where he said that

charred flower
#

No man sky has damned trees and some basic level of creatures and AI, even water worlds, and you dare to say it is optimised

#

This game is literally just a flat 2D plane

rough forge
#

Like yeah my PC isn't on the bleeding edge of tech anymore. Just an RTX3060 that the game isn't fully utilizing. Not even getting heat throttled or hitting the cards memory caps

#

Same with my wonderfull little Ryzen 3900X 12 core processor. The game seems to be doing well at actually using all the cores, but won't push them even though they have a lot more to give. Not heat throttled there.

#

Is it the 32GB of RAM? Nope not using all of that either

charred flower
#

Seriously though; the game is completely old age things, the dialogue system, the 'premade' planets, the skills system
The AI hasn't suddenly taken grasp of chat GPT and decided to go ham on emergent dialogue

#

Point to me, what is so fking 'new age' as to require something more than what skyrims base requirements were

rough forge
#

The $70 price tag :p

charred flower
#

The planets are barren wastes with random rocks generated where-ever
The location of resources is stupidly simple, no mans sky had all that, numerous times over

#

If we are being completely literal that price tag is only because it is a branded game, its a reskinned no mans sky with supposed 'additions'

rough forge
#

Since it's priced like a current gen game it has to be poorly optimized like one

charred flower
#

Its a fallout style chat system in no man sky, modders could have done it

rough forge
#

Also Jedi Survivors got Update 7 the other day. Finally added DLSS and people are still having loads of trouble running it

#

Airlock fully open. No problem

#

Also for all the tech in game why can I not just call people. Game is gonna make me fly to a different planet, kill some people, fly back to planet 1 for a couple lines of dialogue, the go back out to space to immeditly fly to a spacer base. JUST LET ME CALL THEM

charred flower
#

We have drones that can delivery things for miles now by launching mini rockets, but this game hasn't retrofitted that into cargo to cut down on the size needed through having orbital stations as checkpoints, making it impossible to intercept the items being launched by the gravdrives

#

Communication is entirely based on electronics that need to be hand delivered, because they didn't invent relays for communications

#

Not like a ship warping back and forth with a 'databank' of data to upload and download constantly would ever work as a relay, nah never

#

Hey these pirates are using this abandoned space station as a base. Destroy the ships protecting it and clear them out.
Okay but why can't I just blow up the station?

charred flower

Because stations are immortal objects, surrounded by magical forces

civic drift
#

I legit watched the UC turn on their own station once

#

I undocked and watched as hordes of UC ships of varying levels, from military to civilian, just started firing on the Deimos staryard in the sol system

#

Nothing happened to it

#

And I’m glad for that tbh

#

Would have kinda sucked for it to just be destroyed cause of a bug

#

Kinda sad thought I just had.
If this wasn't a Bethesda game I'd be dissapointed with it

#

That is never how you should want people thinking about your studio

civic drift
#

It’s a pretty good 6/10. Maybe 7/10. Not the worst game ever. It’s got problems, but it’s a fairly fun sci fi

rough forge
#

Yeah like I'm having fun with it. But I'd really hesitate to call it good

thin pilot
#

It's a solid 8/10 for me

#

The main story gets real good

rough forge
#

Doubt

#

Bethesda and good main story do not go together

thin pilot
#

this one is solid B tier

#

Not the best, since it doesn't challenge any theological beliefs(Of which its painfully obvious where its going from mission 2)

#

But it manages to tackle religion and how we treat gods

#

Rangers questline is great fun though

#

For me as a sci-fi junkie, it offers what truly is a unique experience worth the 8/10

#

It offers a customizable ship, 1st/3rd person with a massive story/exploration focus

#

The closest there is is Outer Worlds and Mass Effect

#

both of which are... bad

civic drift
#

I like most of the constellation companions so far. And their stories actually feel like there’s emotion to them

thin pilot
#

the companions were done right

civic drift
#

Especially Barrett’s

thin pilot
#

I really appreciate that decision of 4 main companions

#

instead of like 8-12 in skyrim that barely have a story

civic drift
#

I would have loved if they went a Dune route with melee being needed for people with personal shields

#

That would have made melee feel like actually a thing instead of there just so people wouldn’t be upset that it wasn’t

#

If I ever get starfield on pc, I will look for a melee overhaul mod

thin pilot
#

Honestly i think they should have swung(pun intended) the other way with melee

#

Instead of making it a dedicated path of attack

#

Make it a special "finisher" system or perk system for weapons as a last ditch attack

#

like pistols have pistol whip tag "stagger enemy for 5 seconds", Rifles have disarm, "50% chance of disarming opponent"

#

And i feel like that would have been a good middle ground

rough forge
#

I had 0 expectations for melee. Skyrim was based around melee and it stille felt like swingint a pool noodle. Fallout 4 and 76 didn't change that so why would this?

thin pilot
#

It is not great

#

But yeah

#

Main story is passable

#

as someone who completed it

#

the DLC is going to be SUPER INTERESTING

From what I've seen most modders didn't like the creation club either. They aren't making mods to make money, certainly not to get some taken by Bethesda either. There's a reason all the mods on creation club were mediocre at best

Wow, traders managed to finally keep up with my loot
Not in a 'turn into money' sort of way, but a 'sell all the random gear to buy materials' kind of way, at least now my hoard isn't 300 guns and spacesuits

Didn't end up using a merchant mod, so thats just amusing

#

All it took was buying every material and aid item from them to let them have money to buy the gear I don't want

livid fossil
#

I just sat at a chair unmoving for 48h

#

the problem comes when you get items that are worth more than the trader has coins

#

so you will always miss out in the difference

is there a perk like in skyrim to invest into a trader ?

charred flower
#

Thats the whole point of buying all their aid and material items
And no just buy/sell price 'improvement' afaik

livid fossil
#

boooo

charred flower
#

Which I haven't gotten because it would just exacerbate the problem

#

Anyone wanna tell me how to do basic basebuilding, this game seems to love the line 'intersects with an existing object' even when I'm throwing down corridors and stuff between them

#

Ah right, the game will move the 'fake' rocks out of the way, but complains when tthe thing is slightly into the terrain

#

So you have to go an edit the object and change its height in a completely different menu

keen haven
#

i wish i had started a shoot out

were you involved in the shooting or just watching

livid fossil

I CAUSED IT

by moving a ladder

Also I am annoyed about a quest in the well

Both outcomes pay the same amount of credits

so you were involved in the shooting

i know exactly the quest you mean

i tested them both to see if anything was different so i just did it normally

What if frontier but it was designed by someone who dislikes convoluted building controls as they sap my effort really quickly

On the bright side this is 2880 shielded cargo capacity

Oh I know something that will annoy people

You can't buy some components at some stations right?

For NG+ I plan to use one of the voiced names for Vosco, so I can have 5 seconds of being talked to in a game because apparently voice lines for 'jasmine' aren't set to overlap with the name 'jazmine'

So my first nagging point

its empty

And its unclear where you need to go for exploring just stuff

#

Skyrim was easy in this regard

it was everywhere

But in Starfield it feels empty

#

I spend about 5 hours on the first planet with Constelation and other side quests

#

but those were just moving from a to b
Then I got to Mars

#

whole lot of nothing as well and I cam across an abandonded mining station
BUT I knew it was there because of waypoints. You dont have this feeling of "ohhhh I found something"

Besides that I got an Epic Sword and Legendary Grendel

and I just went rip and tear through a dozen Spacers

livid fossil

Also which brainiac handled the minerals for mining

I want their head

You cannot convince me, even if we ignore the laws of physics, that some idiot won't steal it as a souvenir

I want a book in the starfield universe based on the mech war they talk about all the time

charred flower
#

Highly likely just their loose background justification for why absolutely everything still needs manpower when they actively have security droids

#

But it would be cool for more books yeah

#

Instead of these really specific existing books

#

Why didn't they get people like the skyrim writers, so much more coulda been done

civic drift
#

They missed out big time on not setting up a side quest here to go interview mech pilots for her. A starfield version of the wasteland survival guide quest

#

Hmm?

civic drift
#

Almost all the writing in Skyrim is shallow and empty

#

With so many plot holes in numerous quests as to look like a strainer

#

Skyrims books actually tie in a lot of the world, have actual perspectives and details, some even are funny like the lockpicking tutorial book.
They might not be good at consistency but that seems like a bethesda issue with this game coming out in the way it is

You can get a job with SSNN

Many of the Skyrim books are books that already existed and were written years ago, in the morrowind era

civic drift

#

Plot holes are a bethesda issue, not just a skyrim writers issue

#

And sure, many books were written from the past, but its worth more than the copy paste rips of 'public domain' books they have, where they randomly pulled weirdly specific books and even pretend to care and implement one of the globes on the easter egg

Only Constellation told us to not tell news iirc

#

But other factions haven't

# thin pilot But other factions haven't

||Ship in orbit above their 'paridise city' which was old earth colony generational ship. The people 'in charge' give you a bunch of shit options or 'pay for it yourself', otherwise they'd find a way to 'remove' them||

#

The security guard right at the very start tells you 'don't tell the news', and the game ignores that as a retaliation for being forced to pay a ton of money, some 50k credits, to not complete the quest with genocide

#

Here was my issue before Weegy

Oh and apparently this quest does the one thing I dislike, and thats completely ignore the concept of character skills/levelling
You receive a fixed ultimatum, no persuasion checks, no nothing, you are told to pick two negative options, or to pay for the good option.

#

There was no skill check, there was no way around it, they were a group of people who force you to make a choice, with the best one requiring money investment and even the 'mentioned' retaliation, doesn't become an option

swear to god i hope theres evidence of sentient alien life in Fermi

High level, next gen game design

#

I've got 99 problems and bethesda covers most of them by existing

vale pawn
charred flower
#

Think of all that game overhead for having high res animated containers for NPC loot, instead of say, storing it in ethereal data, or say, counting all physical onjects in the store as items to buy and let you visibly 'clear the shelves'

#

Much next gen, many ram wow

somber creek
#

it's not extra overhead like that

#

if the container itself isn't in view, it's not being rendered nor is CPU spent on animating it

vale pawn
#

oh it might be

somber creek
#

nah, I work in programming, their engine is surely optimized to the point of not spending time on ethereal animations.

#

given where the chests are located, there wouldn't be any physics interactions (and they are likely flagged as not participating in physics)

#

Not to mention: the animation and visuals are only used when the inventory is being directly accessed by the player or an NPC - the store interface likely can access the inventory without triggering those

I am here, to complain, about the lack of warnings about needing an SSD, and how I just wasted my entire day doing nothing.

# thin pilot 85 Hours in and just had my first gamebreaking bug

I've had tons of minor bugs. I got my first gamebreaking bug about 50 hours in. I softlocked myself by trying to trade with my companion and as they were entering into their trade animation (essentially just them stepping a little closer to you), an enemy attacked and my companion, after killing it, proceeded to just sit and stare at me. Nothing worked. Had to re-launch the game.

keen haven
#

ive only seen probably one memorable bug and it was the most helpful bug i had ever seen

#

the airlock doors of a building were floating above it so i could just walk right in without waiting

old briar
#

hmm

vale pawn
#

I have been bug free, mostly due to crashing often enough for it to not break

old briar
#

how's this for a ship?

fair orbit

Tasteful

Now make it a plus sign

mild bridge
#

why can the robot say my characters name

#

WHY CAN THE ROBOT SAY MY CHARACTERS NAME

charred flower
#

Because they decided to overpay the one voice actor playing that role to say about a thousand names, when thats like one of the few characters they really could have gotten text to speech to do justifiably

#

Don't worry, absolutely no one else will do it

old briar
#

they did the same with Codsworth in fallout

#

annnnd thats my first crash, welp, good stopping point anyways

civic drift
#

I do enjoy vasco saying my name

thin pilot
#

Stealth is fucking bullshit

#

Okay so you can cheat

#

by using camera mode to float around doors and corners to see if a guards there

keen haven
#

i mean there is third person and bigger third person

rough forge

Yep it's a Bethesda game Weegy. That's the usual stealth

#

I have found the skill I want the mostestest.

#

regen.

#

I NEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

thin pilot
#

Boost+Ship design IMO

mild bridge
#

okay, fair, but, and hear me out, combat regen.

thin pilot
#

Steal everything thats not nailed down and sell em for medpacks

mild bridge
#

Im gonna go out, find a bunch of loons to kill, and bum rush that skill.

livid fossil
#

Also I would think lvl 100 being max

#

since thats an achievo

#

Also I need that lvl 4 perk

#

together with melee weapons 4 I become unstoppable

#

I heal when I kill and regen during combat

#

speed boost after kills

#

True berserker mode

thin pilot
#

No level cap

livid fossil
#

huh neat

#

so you can eventually become god

rough forge
#

Not a fan of how much crafting is locked behind perks, same with lockpick levels. Just makes it feel necessary rather than a playstyle choice IMO

livid fossil
#

yeah

#

pickpocketing , gear mods

#

At least the basic versions should be directly available

rough forge
#

Like who isn't gonna take security or carry weight?

#

Yep

livid fossil
#

Same goes for outposts basically

rough forge
#

The weapon mods at least tier one of that perk should be default I feel. I'm cool with the higher tiers being perks

thin pilot
#

THERES CARRY WEIGHT SKILLS

#

Fffffffuuuuccc

rough forge
#

Yep

livid fossil
#

yes ?

#

lol

#

its tier one weegy

vale pawn
#

Kinda wish there were trainers/teachers you could learn skill from

livid fossil
#

in physical XDD

#

PFFFFFT

#

sorry this is too good

thin pilot
#

I haven't looked at that skill tree since the game started

livid fossil
#

Weegy out of all people missing the most basic skill

vale pawn
#

I have spent most of my skills in the green tree just for carry weight an O2

rough forge
#

Weegy it was the first skill I looked for and the first one I took

livid fossil
#

...

#

geology

#

I wanted to get to botany and xenobiology asap

#

I need stuff to cook with

vale pawn
#

Does Chef give you gastronomy as a starter? I don't remember

livid fossil
#

lvl 1

#

Gastronomy , Duelling and Wellness

vale pawn
#

well that is better than nothing

livid fossil
#

I wanted to focus my playthrough on cooking and using melee weapons

#

so its perfect

vale pawn
#

Im just annoyed that you need a skill to make tea and or coffee
I have so many tea packets and coffee bags but can't brew the dang things

Weegy is also dumbass

Weegy has also been panic researching

Question: if I land on a random place on a planet, is that just a one time instanced area?

#

Basically can I repeatedly land in the same spot and farm enemies forever.

#

Asking for no particular reason.

vale pawn
#

landing randomly creates a permanent location you can come back too
not sure how enemy respawing works though
