Starfield OT First big update

[Horizon]

Yeah do the faction quests. The UC is the best one so far but the Free Star Rangers has some cool missions. Also I would continue playing the main story till you get to Neon.

Nice.

I finished my second playthrough. Didn't plan to do it but there's just so much spoiler talk online of cool little details I missed the first time.

I had a funny thing where a random procedural quest had me ferry a group of colonists to a new city. Instead of doing that, I took them with me to the end of the game. Nothing in game referenced how absurd this was but it was still amusing.


Probably won't do a full third playthrough but I'll still pop open the game as people discover more things.

I don't know if it is good enough to replay it tbh. The start is a real slog and the loading is starting to get real tedious.

There are some big shortcuts you can take so I've hardly repeated content. Was fun seeing the museum on new atlantis since I ignored that quest the first time.

The best bits of the game are the stories and handcrafted areas. It's the procedural planets and stuff which seem a cool concept but just don't really hit it. I've seen about 15 planets so far and not one of them had validated this concept. With there being so many planets there's bound to be a few.

A question for Legend. Is it worth pushing through to new game plus or just taking my time?

In new game plus you keep your skills and player upgrades but everything else resets. Fun being strong in the early game but otherwise it's just there to let you see different outcomes. No reason to rush it imo.

Planets are fun imo for collecting resources and base building. The random buildings however are such a waste. I ignore so much content in Starfield.

Opening paragraph was too braindead for me to keep reading.

No idea what that person is thinking with Starfield though. I spent dozens of hours not doing a single quest. Many players won't do that, most people are here for the rpg content, but the game is fully supportive if that's your thing.

Agree. Only playing a fee hours,  I got it. Just wasn't prepared to pump the hours in. Which is also kind of stupid on my part but I guess I was hoping it to grab me in. But with my short time with the game I feel that Starfield is a far better game than NMS.

Mostly just dominos but still cool

Ted Price, that caught me off guard.

I don't think I've ever seen this before, but this game has toxic "it's a 7/10" players. Can't fathom people really disliking it, but they also can't fathom people really liking it.

It's still crazy to me that Bethesda went all in on pleasing their true fans and redeeming themselves after Fallout 4/76, yet forgot to make the game cool for average players.
