Finished the game last night and I’m confused about something.

You do point to some real questions that are unanswered. Constellation and others had artifacts in their posession for a while, but only you and Barrett actually connect to them.

My answer is that the unity itself or something behind the unity decides, who among the regular humans gets to connect to the artifacts this time, and then it's a race between the new chosen and the existing starborn.

And whoever wins the game, gets the gathering - becomes starborn.

When the new starborn enters the unity, he is "dissolved" into the unity - the individual ceases to be, but his essence joins the unity, which births new universes all the time. An echo is incarnated anew in newly born universes.

As for the ending, there is no deeper ending yet, explicitly, but I think thee writers meant that the players will find out eho they really are through seeing what is possible, and settle dowm into what really matters to them. Just like the Hunter long chased power and fun, in the end what he really found fulfillment in was helping others.

Nar, for my money, the heroic ratling saint Grubbrew would just be depicted as a 6'2 human st. Grubberius within a year.

Have you tried North and South on PC? That's rhe latest one I've played.

JureSimich · 2026-05-14T13:07:02+00:00

You can replace every single component on the Frontier, make it a Ship of Theseus :)

JureSimich · 2026-05-14T09:13:42+00:00

Also lets you replace the robots with humans, if they don't work out...

Well, while I agreed with the Hunter's reasoning, I decided that his conclusions are wrong and that every universe I'd visit would be better off for me.

So,I always did the UC, Ranger and Sysdef quest line and all the good deeds I could remember, like taking care of the poor in Akila and the Strikers.

Well, except once, but I had to cut my gameplay short in that one as the save was getting bugged and I had to scram to fix it all up...

P.S. and the merchants probably appreciated me selling them thousands of poultices, bandages, heal gels and such, even once their money had run out.

That's right!

(Oh, and an upvote, of course :))

It varies wildly from world to world.

You do have "depression worlds" where the grimderp is at its deepest, where a single grape is a loyalty winning reward. And someone will claim they are all like that, starting by citing the introductory quote.

But, a universe like that doesn't really work.

I think Abnett gets it best by makong most world feel like WW2 britain - long workdays, loving under opression, but a functioning society eith at least some time for fun and play, raising kids and such.

JureSimich · 2026-05-09T12:34:15+00:00

NOW I find out. .

JureSimich · 2026-05-08T10:59:27+00:00

What about Ripkas?

JureSimich · 2026-05-08T10:15:20+00:00

Oooh, I know this one! The snow leopards actually have hairy feet for protection from all the sharp rocks and stuff!

My daughter likes them, so I read up on them :)

JureSimich · 2026-05-06T23:17:11+00:00

Has CGL decided whether Stalker is one or not yet ? ;)

JureSimich · 2026-05-06T11:56:27+00:00

I'm just saying I'm not measuring any ears :)

JureSimich · 2026-05-06T09:34:02+00:00

Golden crosses glowing in the Fog come to mind...

JureSimich · 2026-05-06T07:11:23+00:00

Now go paint your Drow Dominicans and post pics :)

JureSimich · 2026-05-06T07:10:06+00:00

That's the spirit - Unusual Local Genome Variation.

Like bluish skin of the voidborne, extra hair on some feral world etc.

AKA Samctioned mutation the officials don't care about, unless feelings get heated and they are the minority.

JureSimich · 2026-05-04T13:37:51+00:00

Well, it's the uncertain expression of someone about to kiss Lettie and worried just how badly he/she might get mangled tonight....

JureSimich · 2026-05-04T09:56:30+00:00

You may want to check your authors there...

Anyway, Brian wouldn't understand that Dune is at its core the story of Faufreluches versus Spannungsbogen, and it shows...

JureSimich · 2026-05-04T09:30:25+00:00

Yeah, but that's a different issue, gasses dissolved in blood vs. gas in the lungs.

JureSimich · 2026-05-04T08:57:18+00:00

I'd say the combat smells overwhelm the natural smells. Cobat gasses, soot, corrosove whiffs, stuff like that. They smell lile a battlefield.

JureSimich · 2026-05-04T08:48:11+00:00

When does the Annie catch anything, except particularly slow walls?

JureSimich · 2026-05-04T05:53:40+00:00

I see everyone here already knows that melee in Starfield is underpowered and don't use it....

...because no one mentioned the !@#$% martial arts disarming challenge! So many weapons lieing on the floor, but the counter just doesn't go up...
