#starfield talk

one thing i kind of dislike about the skill system in starfield is like......how do i put this.........i wish they weren't tiered? like the game locks you out of certain rather basic actions (boost packing, SNEAKING, most weapon/spacesuit/ship modding, etc) with skill ranks, which is okay i guess, so long as those skills are readily accessible. but some of the stuff is buried in the third or fourth tier of their respective tree. like, did you know for most of the game, unless you rush the social tree to tier four, you're stuck with a maximum of 3 crew, regardless of how many crew stations/quarters you have in your ship? that's kind of dumb imo. i wish it was more like fallout 4 where all the skills were accessible so long as you had the special attribute high enough, but unfortunately starfield doesn't have an equivalent attribute system so i don't know what they'd do about balance there

bethesda is genuinely hilarious imagine "working on" a game for over 10 years and teasing it all the while and just making it the most mid experience ever. they have scientists in a lab making sure that most people are kinda having fun but get bored of it after like 5 hours. they chemically engineer the mid. they seek high council with the world's leading psychologists to make sure that they can perfectly attune an experience that looks cool for a little while and then gets egregiously boring. i love it so much.

starfield is fun bc i can play as a rogue smuggler with a penchant for theft who also sends money to his parents every week because he loves them

i think more games companies should follow paradox interactive's lead. dangling streamers from cranes to play cities: skylines 2 is all fine and good, but i want to see jerma and ludwig fight to the death (brought to you by Mortal Kombat 1™)

Another thing about Sam, though, is that most of the time he's just such an Adorkable Dad™️.

But then he sometimes just suddenly says something surprisingly... sexy, and you'll sit there like 😳 and wonder if you're imagining things.

one thing i like about starfield ships is as you go places and reload the interior of your ship over time, the habs get stocked with clutter items to make the ships look lived in. you don’t have to manually decorate everything with clutter items, your crew essentially does it on their own :)

Is there a lore reason for Bethesda to have fetish porn in their Twitter likes for the past 4 days?

isn't it wild how you can play through an entire indie game in a single day and be left with a deeper, more profound experience, story, moral or question all wrapped in a more unique and impactful art style than many triple a games nowadays. for like 8 bucks.

Todd’s lies are bewitching me I fear…

My dearest, Bethesda,

We need to talk

Now.

I'm watching my boyfriend play Starfield, and his ship is a bloody maze.

We can't walk around in there. We know "where" everything is, but we can't find it while walking around inside.

Let us choose where our doors will be! Let us choose where the ladders will be without having to add 1x1 parts. Let us make the doors all match. Let us edit and decorate our ships because I spend more time on that rust bucket than I do in the penthouse the UC gave me because it's worthless to try and decorate it only for us to loose everything the second we reload the map!

Give me a way to add a bounty board on my ship so I don't have to risk going through the cities and getting shot at, or worse: arrested!

Also, GIVE US RADIOS! Planet exploration will become so much better if we can listen to our Broadway tunes in game (that I won't have to pause manually for a dialogue), like, yk... FALLOUT! Come on! Gimme a radio called "Old Earth Radio" and put on some music! Put one SSNN radio so we can listen to the news and get some more activities! Give me original music from the artists we see posters of all over the Starfield!

They're on a date
