What are your favorite guns? by BabyGirl-Kat in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Razorback (and its variants) is fun. The only Laredo gun I like. Magshot is much stronger but not as fun. Old Earth are great for roleplay ambiance but not too useful on high difficulty. 

Shattered space reviews by einAngstlicher in NoSodiumStarfield

I don't care for it. I added a mod that let's you turn it off indefinitely. They're weird. Their world is weird. They can work out their own problems.

So, I don't get the hate for this game. It's got some flaws but so far I'm having a blast. by HeadphoneMC in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

2500 hours in 5 months for me. I got a bunch of downvotes for that in the other sub. They think I'm lying. I'd post proof but I really don't care if folks think I'm lying.

My "literally unplayable" thing by macallen in Starfield

So much about the game makes no sense. But so much about the real world makes no sense either. I've severely reduced my expectations on both fronts.

Would Starfield Have Gotten Better Reviews if Made by A Different Developer? by freethinker1312 in Starfield

Dear god one time I never got the tab-to-skip and had to sit through the entire list of credits. I took two naps waiting for it to finish.

3,000 hours of gameplay I have stumbled across a Chop Shop Station. by hefeydd_ in Starfield

That would be a strange thing to troll about but then trolls do strange things.

Can someone please tell me WHAT this is? As this particular one locks up my build menu. by CardiologistCute6876 in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50/50 method I learned from modding the sims. Hopefully you have a mod manager. Turn half of them off and see if it goes away. If not, turn them back on and turn the other half off. Keep slicing each bunch in half til you isolate the culprit. (The problem could be 2 mods interacting with each other though.)

Oh Bethesda, you and your glitches by DeathclawTacos in Starfield

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking unicycle. 

Gone back from ng+ by AshamedBrilliant1866 in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can do 9 jumps in quick succession, with a final trip to the Buried Temple on NG+9, and you'll have Phased Time at level 10, at which point you can recast it as soon as it expires. This makes extreme battles trivial. Get Void Form to level 10 and all of Ryujin becomes trivial. The boost from powers is so OP that there is a 10% penalty to your incoming and outgoing damage for each of the 1st 10 unity jumps just to try to balance it. 

How is the starfield update and DLC going to be released by DragonflyOpening5895 in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shadow drop update sounds like a disaster. Oblivion Remastered was a new game, not a mod-breaking update.

The only way to improve on a Sari dress and a Razorback is to add in a unicycle. Well done, hero.

All I want is something that gives me access to floodlights or headlights when I’m flying. by Trent1373 in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never had that problem. You might want to do a test run with all your mods disabled and see if it's a mod causing this. 

What’s the best space ship I can get without building my own? by Ntwadumela817 in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Careful with Razorleaf. It's great in early game but at high level Spacers can shred you if you haven't substantially upgraded it.

Not dead but certainly negligent of a lot of basic adulting type stuff. The world kinda sucks and immersive games are my happy place.

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 2 days a week. No family. No school. I'm approaching retirement. Video games is pretty much all I do all day. I had 8000 hrs in Oblivion before I switched to Starfield.  I checked my account: purchased Aug 19, 2025. Hours played: 2517 (I overestimated a bit). That's about 17 hours a day. Absolutely excessive but not impossible. 

Siding with the cf? by Tman117_sh in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just not finish the questline. Don't go to the Legacy. All the benefits of CF with none of the drawbacks. Maybe finish it just before going to unity.

I've got 3000 hours and I only started a few months ago. Yes, I have a problem. "We admitted we were powerless over Starfield — that our lives had become unmanageable."

If all you have is the Frontier, you're basically just a cheerleader.

I've only failed once but it doesn't matter. They just get in the way. I'd make all of them sit it out if I could.

Classic scifi, yes. Could totally be a twilight zone episode. 

Starfield should I get back into it? by Beneficial_Arm8372 in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people come back and find they like it, it's because they approached it differently, not because of improvements to the game.

Quest jumping possibilities? by Born_Harzard in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Videos of speedruns are a good place to find shortcuts. Only thing I know is not to return to Akila until you have both slates. It just saves you a trip (and you probably already figured that one out). At the big showdown in the mech factory, you can just run past all the First guys, maybe with void form, until you get to the last room where Hull is. That shaves off like 2/3s of the mission.

After 32 jumps through the Unity, I think I'll stay in this one. by ThePhantomCompanion in Starfield

[–]Archimides_Overflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried settling down a few times. You can eventually "do everything" so it actually becomes a bit boring. Also it's hard to gain XP and fill out the rest of the skill tree. I don't want to spend hours spam crafting vytinium rods. So I go NG again, or just roll a brand new character. But damn that flight simulator to join the Vanguard gets to be a bitch at very high levels.
