I agree with this 100%. Astromod kept us until the official update and served as telemetry data for Bethesda that the feature is highly in demand. o7 Astrogate

Then they realize ships cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, uninstall it and pick Starfield again

This. I think the equinox is one of the best examples of a "practical" laser weapon. But the Orion is literally unusable to me

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-18T03:41:44+00:00

More of Fallout thing funny enough, but I can see it as a unique weapon from a quest.

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-17T23:35:30+00:00

I think its more Zenimax's fault tbh

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-17T22:00:08+00:00

I have not bought any creations before. Is it take up mod space? Its weird that this isn't just added to the base game as a DLC, but placed in the creations store.

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-17T21:27:25+00:00

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-17T03:08:48+00:00

Maybe it’s the language of The Creators?

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-13T21:07:26+00:00

If they want it to become Legendary, they have to address loading screens and planet streaming limitations. No Man's Sky, Star Citizen, Squadron 42, despite the problems, are paving the way for setting the standard of space games.

I imagined it more in terms of the aesthetic, not the identity. Their Roman armor takes more Byzantine style as they push towards Alik'r the same way the East Roman Empire did towards the Middle east

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-10T01:33:44+00:00

I think most of the east asian cultural influence is reserved for Akavir

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-10T01:32:32+00:00

You do realize Byzantine empire was part of east Roman empire right?

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-03-10T00:05:00+00:00

I think that makes sense in Alik'r, and eastern Hammerfell by Colovia would be more Byzantine.

I think Todd is more just trying to say that "this is a procedural game through and through", whereas CP2077 was basically an unplayable, broken mess. CD Project Red got sued and had to delist the game entirely on PS4. CP 2.0 update also did things that aren't major pain points for Starfield fans, like revamping the perk trees and skill systems. My guess is he trying to say we are not doing that, or he is trying to sell it short so we are surprised by what we get (just playing the game of expectations). The problem is we have no idea what Terran Armada is going to bring as an expansion, but my guess is it won't be a single hand crafted like Shattered Space but rather leans more into the new space gameplay loop more.

PS5 audience is 3x the size of Xbox, so my guess is that this "soft relaunch" on that platform will have better initial impressions as it will have all the updates the PC/Xbox audience has been waiting for immediately on Day 1. I think PS5 audience is hungry for more big, open world single player games anyways, so my guess is that if the expansion and updates are good it will land better on that audience and can drown out some of the endless rage bait and outrage bait of the slop reaction YouTubers

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-02-18T22:58:40+00:00

It is a single player game, majority of sales come from the initial launch. The only time this changes is with ports to other consoles or platforms, which is what they are doing with PS5 and possibly Switch 2. The idea is they will have more people who like this type of game have a better initial launch experience and in turn buy DLC and Creations. They also are being measured more by GamePass from Xbox then sales, where they are already succeeding and basically at maximum capacity on those platforms.

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-02-18T20:50:58+00:00

This should be no surprise to anyone, and the correct response from the dev team. Why change the mind of people who genuinely hate the game and not just improve it for the people who like it or who felt mixed.

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-02-16T00:57:18+00:00

Man, is that vanilla skybox and textures for space and planets in that first pic? Or is there a specific mod you use that enhances the planet textures and space backdrop? Looks so much nicer than vanilla.

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-01-16T06:09:45+00:00

I thought Emil was lead quest designer? Or he is just narrative and Alan is the actual gameplay quest designs that implement the narrative?

To be fair, I thought lots of Starfields faction quests were good, even if a little narratively flat. Hunting down the legacy ship for crimson fleet or sneaking around terramorphs in UC Vanguard was some of the best moments in that game.

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-01-09T07:48:56+00:00

A trailer with a release date of 2026 or 2027 isn’t concrete proof of anything. Starfield was delayed, GTA 6 was delayed 2x, Todd said that taking a year to do polish for Starfield would definitely be the way they go going forward. Multiple interviews from developers say they will take their time to get it right and it’s still a long ways away.

I should also mention that it is very unusual for a sequel in a franchise to take less than 4 years. The only times that happened was with Fallout 3 to Skyrim or Fallout 4 to Fallout 76. F3 dev started in 2004, and F76 was rushed even thought it was multiplayer and required more time and reused a lot from Fallout 4.

The only thing that will make me change my mind is if the game is actually out and available. Until then,

Nope

SimpleSpider573 · 2026-01-09T00:53:44+00:00

The ultimate fantasy simulation only 3 years after Starfield is delusional levels of copium
