I can stare at one of a building’s security cameras from across the street like a creepy ghost child, and then the entire camera system stares at the people inside and sets them on fire, one by one. It’s like something out of a horror movie

So, on a thread on the bug on “the website that shall not be named”, someone found some quest IDs that, through console commands, could (at least temporarily) somewhat stop the effects of the bug....
My mistake, I may have seen a post previously that suggested something more like “Diablo 4 is now compatible with Steam Deck”, and my brain immediately saw the title of a rather controversial game and mentally blocked out the post.
spoilertitleThe naming themes here almost seem all over the place, or maybe I don’t know about a couple of the inspirations. Some are named after scientists (or perhaps the units of measure named after some of these), but the moons of Arachna are named “Itsy,” “Bitsy,” and hilariously, “Worthless.” I also have no...
Am I better off carrying one melee weapon or investing in stagger resistance perks to fight off melee attackers? As it stands, I often have to either shoot melee attackers before they reach me or beat them back with a Va’Ruun Painblade because they probably won’t give me enough time to reload my shotgun.
Yeah, now that I think about it, I do carry a couple pistols and rifles on my hotbar, AND another shotgun, and one microgun. Any number of which could still be loaded.
…Yeah, at this point, I may just put the painblade away and either find a gun for that hotbar slot or enjoy the extra carry capacity lol
Behold, my new ship, built completely from scratch, designed to rival arguably the best default ship in the game (you could get the latter as a quest reward), but almost entirely using Nova Galactic parts. …Granted, it’s not nearly done yet, because it needs a buttload more engines, more weapons, and everything needs to be...
Yeah, I pretty quickly rearranged the rooms to put the reactor further back, so I could put a thicker drive near the engines.
That, and I swapped the reactor and drive locations so I could get a better reactor brand without sacrificing a couple engine mounting slots, because I don’t think 3 Supernovas will be enough.
And all it cost me was some unnecessary passenger space. Guess the crew’s sleeping in shifts lol
Am I supposed to be getting a companion’s initial commitment conversation almost immediately after completing their personal quest and romancing them?...
I mean, from a gameplay perspective, it makes sense, but it strikes me as hilarious that a companion could decide that they love me in the first place one minute, and after a brief trip from Jemison to Mars immediately start discussing the topic of marriage.
apricops: the tendency for racists and white supremacists to go gaga over their idea of ancient Rome is so darkly hilarious because of how entirely wrong it is. It’s not a twisting of some kernels of truth, it’s not a misinterpretation, it’s just the exact opposite, and people in Western Europe has been doing it for so...
Yeah, being a supposed “heir to the Romans” wouldn’t make anyone “superior” in the slightest. Romans had quite a few flaws themselves.
Besides, I could argue that the metaphorical blood of Roman influence is splattered evenly across the walls of the world, meaning all remaining humans would be heirs to Rome, by that logic.
I question just how many of us, if any, really would give Kotaku articles the time of day anymore, given what may be a reputation for over-the-top opinion pieces.
Based on further testing, something that can happen while with a companion during planet surveying seems to potentially trigger the bug, quest or no quest.
Oh, I Just was saying that surveying planets in general while you have an active companion can risk triggering the bug (maybe it even is triggered by actual combat with miscellaneous alien critters, can’t confirm that, though).
The quests related to surveying planets or critters are fine, as long as you don’t bring a companion.
However, if you want to try the quests I’ve used for this testing, both are radiant/miscellaneous quests you can get after completion of the Vanguard questline.
I tested boarding using a quest you can get by talking to Commander Tuala in New Atlantis.
The objective that gives you the gene-sampling quest involves talking to a guy named “Perceval” (you’ll know him when you go through that questline)
So for some reason, I can’t pinpoint what causes this bug, but it seems like the quest log activity that normally appears when you board a hostile ship is no longer appearing, and that may be correlated with the fact that these ships somehow have no crew. Like, at all. No pirate crew, no captain, just an abandoned ship....
Update: it seems to have happened again, but this time I noticed something. Both this incident and the last incident were preceded partially by a period of surveying a planet with life, with a companion by my side (Barrett, this time).
I may have even been on a surveying quest the first time, and a genetic sampling quest for the second.
So the common thread seems to be that this bug is somehow correlated with surveying a planet and/or combat involving alien wildlife.
They are not wrong, first time I saw a BLT or Burger I was like damn that looks good. I wouldn’t say it’s “Worthless” but it does take some major eating for it to make a difference without the right skills.
Yeah, as good as the sandwiches look, it seems like the most useful food is the food that provides temporary buffs, such as Barbacoa wraps (which provide damage resistance for 10 minutes), or Boom Pop! Dynamite (reload speed and movement speed up briefly).
Basically, it feels like the best food in the game can act like a cheaper and (perhaps) non-addictive alternative to chems (although if alcohol addiction is possible in the game, I wouldn’t be shocked)
