🎮 Peut-être même était-ce trop pour Bethesda, qui a semble-t-il eu peur du vide et que l'on s'ennuie. Le jeu se remplit alors de tout et rien, dans une grande illusion de contenu...
Ben Hanson interviews Bruce Nesmith about his long career at Bethesda Softworks, where he was the lead designer on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, senior system...
I could never get into #Skyrim. Tried multiple times. Bounced off of #Fallout 3 and 4. I figured if anything could pull me in it'd be #Starfield. Fell off after a handful of hours. It just wasn't scratching the #NoMansSky itch. It was too compartmentalized to feel like space exploration. A bunch of small maps. Like a fast travel simulator. Tried #OuterWorlds & really enjoyed the first planet. Then lost momentum. It looks like I am just not a #Bethesda style #RPG kinda guy.
So wait. You choose to become Starborn and the fucking credits roll? JUST LIKE THAT?!?
Where’s my mind-fuck of a multiverse hopping campaign??? Where’s the universe where I can actually sell and modify Starborn ships??? Where’s my damn Starborn spacesuit??? AND WHERE THE HELL IS ANDREJA
Oh wait there’s more after the credits… I’m in a Starborn ship. I remember all that I’ve learned but lost everyone and everything I ever knew.
I can continue the game, exploring this new universe and all it has to offer. Even choose to go through the Unity again. And again. And again. Ad infinitum.
That’s more fuckin’ like it.
And you’re damn right I’m gonna find Andreja again.
Finally get to a spacesuit workbench and what do I find? No upgrade slots on Starborn Spacesuit Astra
Not to mention I’m stuck with an old-earth shotgun as a weapon
Oh yeah and I have to pay off the bloody mortgage on my Nesoi “dream home” again. I think in this universe I’m just going to let the bank foreclose on it
But on the plus side, collecting powers in this new universe upgrades my existing ones!!
So far? This new universe is a bigger dumpster fire than the dead bird app
the only soda is black liquorice flavoured
vendors don’t seem to sell digipicks, so I can’t pick any locks despite my mastery of the relevant skill
evolution took a turn for the worse, xenos are next-level revolting to behold and pretty belligerent about it
for some freaky reason my health isn’t regenerating, food has even less nutritional value here than the joke it was in my original one, I keep breaking my limbs and getting other weird injuries
looting is a serious pain in the ass, but scarcity means vendors pay me much more even for actual trash
Thank God Almighty! I found some cola and root beer as loot.
Oh right I also found a digipick. Yes... Just the one so far.
I’m seriously regretting becoming Starborn. This new universe is just one facepalm after another.
Oh that reminds me. Haven’t heard a single word about Terrormorphs in this universe yet. Weird, right? Of course the average predator in any given biome is now much more repulsive and aggressive than the worst Terrormorphs I faced in my original universe. So…
Couldn’t take flying around the galaxy in a Starborn Guardian anymore, so went and hijacked a Spacer Hyena.
There were like 30 Spacers on board, which was pretty bizarre considering the crew and passenger limits imposed on the player. So I pulled out my osmium dagger and went slashing.
And would you believe it? I take the ship and I STILL don’t have enough credits to register the damn thing.
It's pretty rare that a video game grips me in a way that I keep coming back to it, nowadays. I usually jump between dozen of games or more, randomly. I usually play what I feel like playing that day and in the past few weeks it keeps being #Starfield.
The more I study German #folklore, the more I appreciate the in-setting lore of the #ElderScrolls games. Like real folklore, they have a multitude of interpretations and authorial points of view, with some fragments portrayed as fiction written by in-setting authors, while others are written as if they were scholarly treatieses (complete with snarking at other authors!), while others are regional folk tales or other local anecdotes.
It truly makes the setting come alive, in a way few other video game franchises can match.
#Starfield , as the latest #Bethesda game, cannot really match this - perhaps because the settings is still so new and yet underdeveloped. It does have a small number of in-setting texts and lores, but they don't yet weave such a rich tapestry as those of its predecessors.
Good morning to all of you amazing folks around the #Fediverse today!
For our #MorningMoments today, let's talk about our plans for the day. Tell me what you've already accomplished or what you hope to accomplish before the day ends.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff, then video games. Most likely an hour or so of Destiny 2, then more Starfield.
@skrishna it was great! I love #Starfield but my heart belongs to #MassEffect (for video games). This is my first #Bethesda game and I am having a lot of fun playing it. My only problem is that I don't have My Friend Wilby IRL (yet!).
We join our intrepid space explorers failing to start The First Descendant, trying to buy a new ship, finding a second ship, and failing to sell that one!
