Starfield's art direction is painfully boring. I've ben watching friends play. It looks like a totally soulless, characterless distillation of every forgettable science fiction movie in the last 30 years. It sure does look NASA, and NASA doesn't have an artistic vision, they just slap shit together in whatever way won't explode. The menus, the costumes, the weapons, even the planets, just look painfully generic. Like congrats, Todd, you successfully executed the NASA part alright. There's no way you could have made more intensely bland, vague, inoffensive rendition of space. There's no "punk" anywhere to be seen, though.

: p

I can't believe they made this shit instead of TES Six. It's like every 2010s space show that got cancelled half way through the first season.

The fallout IV weapons were horrid. The pipe guns just look ridiculous. The world is full of hand-crafted firearms and even the very worst of them, literal pipes with crude wooden handles attached by wire, look more artfully designed than the pipe guns. The other weapons are just perplexing. The "assault rifle" is far and away the worst offender, being a collection of bits from machine guns thrown together with little thought or design, resulting in a bulky mess of parts.
