Isn't everyone everywhere breathing toxic air? I don't see what the big deal is

Probably not so much COVID and instead trying to coordinate 27 different outsourced studios. Why not just make it mostly inhouse like before??? If we're talking scale issues; why introduce these by aiming for deluge of samey procedurally generated worlds instead of the one quality handmade world you're already known for?

My thoughts exactly. Whatever issues were in Morrowind, Oblivion, New Vegas, Skyrim etc there was still a uniquely engaging game there.

I've been poking around and their lead concept artist died before he got to work on Fo4, and the two main writer producer guys Emil & Pete(?) have basically admitted on game dev talks that they're no longer trying to tell a coherent story or create a world anymore, just keep a player playing. Maybe this is why?

I feel like it's diff when it's literally a dry part of the food item meant to be grabbed like that and most ppl would still use napkins and shit.

I'm not 100% sure it'll be as good as Skyrim, or even Fallout 4 as contentious as that game is. It feels like a lot of the reason why Skyrim works is bc they put some amount of thought into framing a world; there's some semblance of reality there with farms, history, characters with motivations even if it's all extremely shallow. Starfield looks like it'll cast even this aside and fill it in with randomly generated slop.

At best the main story planets will be a similar quality to Skyrim, but that still leaves everything else and a very distinct question of "why" for me. The game is also not my style as I was hoping for something a little more creative? The aesthetic feels really restrained and basic, but not to the point of minimalism since everyone is a visually noisy amongus man with shiny gubbins and gizmos on them, with weapons looking like the artists were challenged to add as much ribbing and 45° angle corners as possible. I hope the game is good and I am interested to see how it'll represent the way Bethesda intends to treat modding and monetize their games in the future.

This feels like a self report on having really bad reading speed than like an actual criticism of subtitles

I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.

.world should defederate so the replacement communities here get a chance to grow out of beehaws shadow. Anyone who wants to keep browsing those particular communities can use their beehaw account, and you should be multiboxing lemmy anyways

I dont think beehaw will refederate even if better mod tools are added or they decide to get a few more mods. The divide here seems ideological and at a intended user level than a real result of growing pains.
