Starfield - Bethesda Softworks - Release Date - Sep 6th 2023

Any tips for space fights? I’m sometimes just fleeing them at this point I’m getting melted so hard. I did just get a few new ships so maybe the original ship I still had was the issue.

Get the Targeting perk, worked wonders for me. You need to get the enemy ship in your sights and it locks on, hit the button and it zooms in on the ship and you can shoot individual parts while slowing down time like VATS from Fallout. The first ship is junk though. Once you get a new one, it's worth it to invest in better weapons and shields. Good luck!

It’s just the first ship. It’s terrible. It’s pretty easy once you get a better ship and they’re not hard to come by as you progress.

There's a reason why you got the ship for free. Its awfulness in combat and your lack of piloting skills will quickly get you both blown to pieces and then Barrett will collect the insurance.

You keep Barrett's name out of your f***ing mouth! That man is a true friend and would do no such thing! :madfire:

Was super sick so stayed home from work and no-lifed the entire Ryujin quest line. A lot of fun, honestly.

I also got a moddified magshot which seems like a must - completely leveled me up in combat.

I'm partway thru the Ryujin quest, and was wondering if the faction quests were never ending like the radiant quests from fallout 4, glad to hear there is a definitive ending for them, I hated being in the middle of something only for a settlement to be under attack

They have radiant quests to do after you’re done on the mission boards, but every faction has a main set of missions. I do miss Morrowind/Oblivion style factions where you’re being sent to different bosses for misc tasks as you rank up until a main narrative kicks in, but the way they did it here still works.

As a side note, kinda wish there were some factions you could become the head of, but not like Skyrim where you’re foisted into leadership despite not being qualified (ie Companions or College). I’ll take being a high rank deservedly over something like being the head of a magic college despite not knowing about magic though, so I’m ok with how they did things here.

Thank you. Which button? Never saw the option for this clearly haha.

Yeah I figured. I have 3 ships now and the other two I can already tell are much better.

This Vanguard quest line is really good, highly recommended

Doing this one now and really enjoying it. I also loved the Freestar ranger ones. Got some great rewards from it.

I really thought money would be more of an issue in this game. I refused to buy anything not 100% necessary and would religiously look over every area. Got my lockpicking up enough to be able to attempt any lock, etc. Now sitting on like 600k credits and I have at least one ship to sell still, if not two.
 
On Xbox it's the X button. Once you get the enemy in your sights it'll count up to 100% then it'll say LOCKED ON, hit the x button then use the left stick to pick which area you want to hit (weapons, engine, shields, etc). If you destroy the engines then you're able to dock the ship for more looting fun. If you're fighting a few enemies at once you might just want to knock out their weapons then move on to the next one, though.
 
Highly suggest others to complete some of the main missions. There is a bug that a lot of people are stuck at for the main mission and it seems if you complete the Crimson Fleet / SysDef mission before you got to this mission. I think I have done all the faction missions so I just wanted to start on the main story missions and now the next quest won’t start.

Complete the mantis quest line (you get it by finding the “secret outpost!” note on a dead enemy).

Or better yet, complete the freestar rangers quest line.

Haha I actually just completed both the last few days. The razor leaf is a big upgrade and I haven’t flown the ranger ship yet but judging by its massive difference in value. I assume it will be as well.

Now working on the vanguard missions. Loving it. I feel like I’m a bit overpowered most of the time because I loved to just explore random planets and commit mass animal genocide (sorry guys your xp was too tempting).
 
I played this for a couple hours this morning. It's far more boring than I expected. This is the worst game I've played in years.

Bethesda makes one game so how does it keeps getting worse? It took them six years to develop this garbage. I'm not disappointed as I expected it to be terrible, but damn.

“Bethesda makes one game”

“It keeps getting worse”

“Played for a couple hours”

“The worst game I’ve played in years”


These sentences don’t coherently fit. You’re gonna have to pick a lane.

Two hours is the equivalent of calling Skyrim terrible before you get to Whiterun or walking to Chorrol to find Jauffre in Oblivion and making the judgement of the entire game there. Makes no sense. After two hours in Morrowind if you’ve never played it you’re still gonna be in Seyda Neen.

When I say that they make one game, I'm saying that the games they make are all fundamentally the same. They're not literally the same, but they are so similar that they are fundamentally the same game.

I played the game for a 2-3 hours. If the game hasn't grabbed me then why the hell would I waste my time playing more of it? I don't care whether a game "gets good after 10 hours" or whatever stupid nonsense you may believe. A good game is good right away. I've played and seen enough of Starfield to know that the issues I have with the game won't get any better (awful UI, bad gunplay, shit writing, lifeless game world).

Was the miner Lin telling you to burn the bodies in the beginning the tipping point?

You cannot accurately judge a game like Starfield in 2-3 hours so forgive others for not taking what you say seriously.

In 2-3 hours you cannot possibly know there is bad gun play, or the writing is bad or a "lifeless" game world. The game has barely let you do anything in that time frame. Seems to me you haven't actually played the game, and are just taking other peoples opinions and using them as your own.

Especially since “2-3 hours” usually means “I played for like an hour, and want to post my hot take without getting called out for not making it past the tutorial”
 
Looks like an official DLSS implementation, HDR options in the menu and more are coming soon.



Also I can respect quitting a game right away if you know its not for you, i immediately stopped playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom the moment I realized i was going to be doing a bunch of shrines again lol
