re: Starfield Info/Discussion Thread

I enjoy it so far and think I am really going to blast off once I get to open it up a bit more.

I think the one thing that is a big adjustment from Elder Scrolls / Fallout is there is a lack of free and easy exploration. With those you left the first area and the world was open for you to walk around. Just pick a direction and go. Starfield feels a little more boxed in so far (early).

The loading screens haven’t really bothered me, tbh. The inventory can be annoyance, I’m getting the hang of it / put some skills into having more capacity so it’s gotten better.

Combat is fun as shite so far. Much better than any other Bethesda title. Space travel is....fricking idk

The more I play, the better it gets. I feel like a big problem with the game is that they don’t go into enough detail explaining all the ins and outs of what you need to know.

I never picked up about how to fast travel in space without opening the map. Then by it seeming like you had to use the map, at first I was fast traveling everywhere even on the planets when eventually I figured out I could just wander in the wilderness from point to point.

Also I don’t remember the crouch and peek feature in combat being explained which would have been nice instead of just firing out in the open.

I do wish I had more space to store things on the Frontier. I haven’t touched shop or outpost building so eventually I’ll have another place to keep things. Just wish you weren’t held to a captains locker on the Frontier that has a limit on the amount of things it can hold.

Overall, it’s a damn good game that is getting better and better the longer I play.

Edit: Just discovered the cargo hold.

If you can elaborate or point me to a video, much appreciated. I feel like I'm doing things in a cumbersome manner not as devs intended.

Decided to have a good night's rest so I can get a solid 4 hour session in tonight instead of a tired af 2 last night where I barely remember shite.

Seems like a lot of you are saying it'll improve once it opens up...is the main quest not that good?

The more I think about my experience so far the less I agree with that. I've had a lot of fun. I feel the scope is massive already. And it's shaping up to be a 9/10 game.

If you play a few hours like I did and don't feel excited about progressing idk what to tell you.

Is the item good?

Sounds like I fricked up by not having parents.

My quarter million credit home better be the shite

I have not played the game yet. But agree with general comments here and elsewhere that traveling/load screens can be streamlined or disguised better. Even using the "scanner travel method" as shown in these links. I can only imagine doing everything through the menus would be even more cumbersome.
