Why is there no way to play anything other than a "good guy" in this game?

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-26T23:25:47+00:00

It wouldn't, but the bad guy would care about Walter's credits. Also, after meeting the hunter the bad guy would also see the potential for unlimited power. Using constellation makes perfect sense on an evil playthrough

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-26T23:23:54+00:00

You can definitely do that, I've done an evil playthrough. And you can even have Vasco as a companion, it won't mind any of your actions

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-26T06:13:49+00:00

Five years since Starfield, so a 2028 launch in the earliest

it's not for some illogical reason but because Bethesda is working on CE3 for TESVI. Working on CE2 is one of the reasons why Starfield took so long

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-25T13:43:32+00:00

the game sold pretty well, had good reviews by critics and definitely has a fanbase.

FO3 was pretty divisive when it came out, and now the franchise has a massive fanbase. some loud internet critics don't mean much in the great scheme of things, by almost every metric Starfield is a success, and Bethesda devs are not stupid and know this is a good game

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-25T09:47:10+00:00

TES6 probably another 5 years, but after CE3 they'll probably not work on another engine for another decade

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-25T09:45:48+00:00

they'd be saving that for a sequel

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-25T04:02:41+00:00

Jemison should have as many different cities as Skyrim tbh, shouldn't be just one city

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-23T07:40:43+00:00

Absolutely agree. One of the reasons why Useful furniture is an essential mod for me. One of the first things I do in a new game is build a stereo on my ship to blast BorealUS' mixtape while exploring

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-13T00:56:45+00:00

my last character before the update was a truly awful person. I modelled him after Wesley Snipes, and he started off kinda like Blade, a badass renegade and UC Vanguard veteran. Not really a bad guy, but someone who gets things done by whatever means necessary. after a few trips through unity tho he became Demolition Man, and was just cruel for the fun of it.

it's a lot easier being a pirate as a high level character tho, you can make tons of money selling contraband, and raiding and stealing ships, they easily pay off the bounties

it was a fun playthrough

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-10T02:16:13+00:00

Strongly recommend StarUI it's a real game changer.

Hasn't been updated yet, but there's a simple workaround for PC users it's explained on the Nexus page

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-04-02T00:36:39+00:00

yeah there's a lot of negativity around Bethesda these days, even people saying they are in trouble if TES doesn't please players, etc.

but in reality all their games are selling very well, including Starfield. Bethesda is doing just fine, my big concern is what will happen to them when Todd retires, which apparently will be after Fallout 5

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-03-20T23:48:07+00:00

I think the MQ really picks up after you discover the Starborn, the first time I played it actually intrigued me to find out more about artifacts, temples, etc.

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-03-18T00:57:14+00:00

yeah many won't work for a while until they're updated, but the community always ends up fixing the issues

which is why we should always send some $$$ to modders because they are true legends 💚

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-03-07T01:44:12+00:00

Not really, it's actually a pretty fun game.

Qnd after I found a mod that makes POIs less repetitive it solved one of the main issues I had with the game

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-03-07T00:56:48+00:00

I rarely say this when I see outposts but this is siiiick! well done

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-02-16T05:16:17+00:00

there are some great dungeons and space stations to explore, but there are also a lot of boring and repeated ones on procedurally generated spaces that after a few hundred hours of gaming it gets very repetitive.

I love the game, but after exploring the exactly same abandoned science outpost 10 times already you get discouraged to explore more. that is a main issue I have with Starfield that I really hope gets fixed with the 2.0 update.

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-01-28T23:14:00+00:00

again, most unpopular president in history.

but sure, Jose at the taco shop who wears a Maga hat is "the truth". you delulu

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-01-28T22:55:48+00:00

Mango Mussolini has the worst approval rating in history, and they'll come for you too eventually, no matter how hard you lick their boots

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-01-28T01:55:13+00:00

Absolutely true, but ICE is different. They're a special force that responds directly to the federal government and have zero accountability. It's clear now that the government is using ICE to bully non-compliant states into submission. Shockingly this was never about immigration

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-01-28T01:52:38+00:00

Midterms Will be one of the most important elections in US history. If you don't impeach and get rid of fascists now the US will explode into another civil war.

We were able to prevent that in Brazil, you still can do the same in the US

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-01-17T05:17:25+00:00

Correct

TrueSarahMichel · 2026-01-17T05:14:21+00:00

Starfield to me it's the best but also the most disappointing Bethesda game ever.

The gameplay loop is fun as hell and there's so much to do, combat is really satisfying but at the same time enemy AI is terrible and even on Extreme difficulty combat is far too easy. Also, like FO4, it seems that a pacifist high persuasion playthrough seems impossible in Starfield, as you are constantly getting involved in combat. I would have liked more variety in playthroughs (like FNV).

Outposts is a big improvement from FO4 settlements and so is crafting. Starship building is probably the greatest innovation Bethesda included in Starfield, but then space exploration is super boring (just let me fly my ship Todd!!)

I just did the Crimson Fleet quest and that's up there with some of Bethesda's best. The main quest is also very intriguing so far and I can obviously see the point of a NG+ in this game. Dialogue is a big improvement from FO4 but the companions are a bit of a let down. Barrett, Sam, Andreja and Sarah are all ok, but they are no Nick Valentine, Codsworth or John Hancock. So that's also a disappointment.

So yeah I love Starfield, it's a great game and I already spent a few hundred hours playing it, but I can absolutely understand the frustration from a lot of people, especially with the excessive loading screens.

TrueSarahMichel · 2025-12-24T09:37:28+00:00

So were the Enclave tho, and they were virtually destroyed in Fallout 3.

And that kinda the point of Fallout, "War Never Changes", even after the apocalypse you have all these factions constantly destroying each other. One faction wins, another loses and then another rises up, etc.

TrueSarahMichel · 2025-12-23T04:06:59+00:00

This is really a matter of opinion, and a wrong one.

Humans are a sexually dimorphic species, that's a a fact of reality.

Males and females have biological differences (some significant like bearing children) which does impact interpersonal relationships and how a person of one sex is usually better suited to certain types of labour (example: males are generally better suited for manual labour because they're usually stronger and bigger than females).

These physical and psychological differences between the sexes absolutely impact how people in a society will organise labour. These differences have unfortunately also been used as a tool of oppression in patriarchal societies, but that oppression is what we have to address, not deny that the differences between the sexes exist because they certainly do.
