starfield

Welp, that dampened my enthusiasm for the game. I won't preorder it, and maybe wait until it is on a Sale for a reduced price.

This seems just like a giant advert for AMD…

It looks like we have a couple perks, but is it going to be viable until the late game?

Personally I’m into arrow shaped space ships, so I’m going to be aiming for something along those lines on my first playthrough. Think of an Anaconda from Elite Dangerous, or a RSI Galaxy from Star Citizen, how big it is depends on how the systems and ship building work.

In Skyrim, radiant encounters were triggered at certain spawn points throughout the map, and were limited to NPC encounters. The random...

Yeah, right. Any Bethesda game is not a high mark to compare against though!

I have been dying for a space sim like this – story, ship combat, classic Bethesda RPG elements, etc. The direct showcased so many features that, if pitched to me in writing, I wouldn’t have believed possible to fit into a single game. But oh man am I a believer now....
