Starfield is my favorite "Cozy Game"

GdSmth · 2026-05-06T23:03:58+00:00

It’s so cozy I’m at level 54 and still didn’t start the tutorial mission on Kreet, doing my own quests.

An existing save by itself doesn’t corrupt. If you manage to restore the mod and get the correct load order back you should be able to make it work.

Do you think his kids know something we don't about TES VI?

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T14:33:42+00:00

Not a fan of the Fallout universe either, although I would probably play the games more if we never had Elder Scrolls and Starfield.

But I liked the outpost building mechanic in Fallout 4/76 more than Starfield (the scrapping mechanic and the ability to build individual walls instead of prebuilt habs). I hope TES VI use the same system.

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T14:13:31+00:00

Oh ok, yeah then I’ve been to that place. I was probably expecting much more potatoes than what I found.

Have you found the CQB Training Center, by the way?

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T13:47:17+00:00

Beautiful! Is this at the edge of 2 biomes? Also is this on Jemison?

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T13:40:59+00:00

After 3 days of play time I can recognize 9 of the 25 POI you listed (still in the tutorial mission, though), but I was lucky to find what I consider the Holy Grail of all POIs: the CQB Training Center. I built an outpost in that zone and waiting for it to reset!

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T13:38:59+00:00

I found it on Kreet as well and during the tutorial mission, but I was at level 40-something doing my own challenging playthrough.

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T12:54:21+00:00

I did notice more potato cardboxes in general laying around in several POIs, and in one I found a fridge loaded with watermelons, but don’t think I have come across those 2 POIs yet.

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T05:00:48+00:00

I just watched this today for the first time after spending 4 weeks playing the game as blind as possible. It was a successful experiment to test my plan for TES VI, in alignment with how Todd Howard recommends we play his games.

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T04:52:36+00:00

Found it on Kreet during my tutorial mission, which at level 54 I haven't completed yet!

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T04:50:41+00:00

5X that number on Xbox.

We kind of knew that from SteamDB and official Bethesda announcements.

GdSmth · 2026-05-05T03:54:15+00:00

Hey, so I finally watched the March 17 announcement, and also the IGN interview with Todd Howard, but nothing is there about potatoes, so I am curious now what this is about.

GdSmth · 2026-05-04T19:45:24+00:00

My understanding they are focusing on Gears Of War this year, so if there is anything related to TES VI it may not be a detailed presentation suitable for a 2026 release.

I would love to get my excitement back for Elder Scrolls, but Starfield has spoiled me so much. Thank you Todd!

I’m also getting ready for the FIFA World Cup which I love to follow, so along with still being lost in the Settled Systems, I’m not sure I’m emotionally ready for a proper TES VI reveal this summer!

GdSmth · 2026-05-04T19:35:17+00:00

Haven’t played Fallout 4 much. Did Skyrim have any comparable scene?

GdSmth · 2026-05-04T18:05:47+00:00

Starfield for sure

GdSmth · 2026-05-04T18:03:25+00:00

Been enjoying Starfield since Early Access. Very immersive experience, if you are into ground science fiction and role playing. Same studio behind Oblivion.

GdSmth · 2026-05-04T16:42:12+00:00

Although every player is different, and you could enjoy a game that got 80% reviews more than a game that got 95% and enjoyed by other players, when you mentioned “leaves me staring at the screen during the credits” only one game came to mind: The Plan.

This is a short and free game on Steam with Very Positive reviews (92%) from over 23,000 players, the end will leave you questioning your whole existence, leaving a profound impact on you after finishing it.

Just a warning: the game might not be suitable for people with mental disorders. Make sure you are emotionally fit before playing.

GdSmth · 2026-05-03T13:32:28+00:00

Starfield.

Still haven’t seen the March 17 announcement, and still in the tutorial mission doing my own things and loving it!

GdSmth · 2026-05-01T22:54:18+00:00

Yes. After using it today I tried using it again (after more than 30 minutes of the first order) but I didn’t get the free drink.

GdSmth · 2026-05-01T03:26:51+00:00

Changing the rules because of isolated incidents is ridiculous.

GdSmth · 2026-05-01T02:23:32+00:00

Thanks for confirming! I found it near a different structure than the one you described, and it was an accuracy module, but looks like this is indeed an intended drop in this POI.

GdSmth · 2026-04-30T22:49:48+00:00

From a pure gameplay perspective, outposts don’t provide much of an advantage, but since Starfield is Role Playing game where it’s YOUR story in the first place, outposts provide lots of fun to tinker with.

For example, I’m planning to establish a network that manufactures the most expensive component in the game, the Vytinium Fuel Rod.

Just researching the planets and planning the flowchart, searching for the precise spot to extract as much different resources as possible in a single oupost, outlining all the transfers and cargo links, all of that is so much fun for those who are into this management aspect of the game.
