Not a place for gamer gate talk or other reactionary behavior. TERFs and incels get the wall.
my thoughts after about a week of playing:
Overall I don't think this game is GOTY material or anything, but I usually have a good time with Bethesda games (with the exception of Fallout 76) so just like Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout I'll probably come back to it every once in a while and have fun, especially once more mods start rolling out.
the libertarian city not having roads is funny as fuck tbh
Speaking of bugs I was surprised at how smoothly it ran. I recently got a 4k monitor that goes above 120 hertz and playing even more mid-range games makes my fans run at top speed because of this. But on Starfield, my computer was its usual quiet self. And I was able to run on medium at a good framerate, def 60 at least (I could get the video settings on high but I would get some fps drops here and there). I understand the game adjusts resolution dynamically and I didn't have it set at 100% either way, but it was never shocking or noticeable.
yeah I guess the delay from last year helped out a lot
bethesda is prob just making the bugs on purpose to keep their place as the world's gamedev with the most BPM(bugs per minute)
I had one where my companion was wearing only her normal clothes
which would be fine normally but...
She was on the surface of the moon
Lol I actually just had another one today where I was doing a mission on Neon and told my companion to wait in one of the air ducts because she kept alerting the guards when I was trying to sneak around. I totally forgot about her in there and during the next mission I was talking to an NPC and my companion interjected with something... from a totally different floor, partially obscured by shadows of an air vent she was standing near. Gave me a good laugh imagining her standing in a dark air duct for hours and then somehow hearing our conversation from multiple floors below us and giving her thoughts on it.
