Thoughts on starfield?
(hexbear.net)
The game is aggressively Bethesda but I'm enjoying the visuals and sniffing the 3d model of every insignificant bit of detritis in the world. I saw a very nice looking bowl, maybe THE bowl of all videogames. Other than that the narrative and main story has already lost my interest after about 10 minutes and I'll be off being a space menace if the game will let me.
Once i found out I can travel using the ship in scanner mode it doesn't feel like a map simulator anymore.
Also the chef having a perk for dueling tickles me.
Game also runs like shit on PC but digital foundry showed most settings being on medium yields good performance with no noticable quality loss.
My favorite genre is crpgs and I was obsessed with the original Baldurs gates and planescape torment so I loved the shit out of bg3 and played it up until the release of starfield. With that said, I love starfield and it is easily my game of the year now.
Baldur's Gate 3 is better than Starfield, no question about it. However, since the days of Morrowind, Bethesda games have been exactly my shit. So, I have to agree with you, comrade, that Starfield is the kind of RPG I've been waiting for. Additionally, as a modding platform, this is going to be absolutely massive.
The writing and characters are light years ahead of starfield but I'm going to be getting 100s of more hours out of starfield than bg3. Bg3 would have absolutely been my goty if starfield hadn't released this year though.
Customizing a ship and flying around being a pirate is just too good.
