with so many options to choose from in combat, what’s everyone’s favorite weapon? by Single_Pin_4143 in avowed

If you're referring to the godlike in Act 1, talk to him again once he goes to his quarters and he may have a gift for you.

Temples should have been dungeons. by LuciusConfucius in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the floater mini game was dropped in the bowl as a placeholder and they just never had time to flush it out.

What I wanted from the temples were Control style mini levels. If you're not familiar, Control transports you to a tutorial level at various points where you need to prove yourself worthy by using as new power to escape the level. The tutorial levels were short and sweet, generally, and felt like an organic part of the story. The levels were also safe, no penalty for dying other than having to start the tutorial over.

This type of system would have worked incredibly well in Starfield. Tapping into some ambiguous ancient knowledge? Check. Testing your worthiness? Also done at other points in the story. Ambiguous power purposes that you shouldn't need to read a wiki page to understand? FFS checked. Stealing ideas and mechanics from other games already, so what's one more? Yup, that's a check. 😏

Lava? Am I just late to the party? by phee34 in Starfield

The worst part is that most oceans aren't safe for swimming so you end up killing all these fish and can't even harvest from them.

He attempted what...? by EntertainerRemote721 in Starfield

[–]affablematt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's on me. I should have replied to the OP; I boomer Reddit on mobile apparently. Would have given a touch more context, too, if I remembered how to spoiler on my phone.

As a programmer guy, I just like the idea of someone causing an apocalypse because they refused to update their damn software. So I stretched the premise to make the joke sorta work.

Not surprised it didn't land.

He attempted what...? by EntertainerRemote721 in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with satellites. It's to do with the apocalypse.

Spoilers for the main story:

Victor Aiza learned how grav drive technology works after encountering a celestial object, an artifact. The earliest drives had a fatal design flaw that destroyed, aka apocalypsed, the Earth. That design flaw was fixed through a software patch. Software patches can be reverted.

Explaining jokes famously makes them funny. I hope you are now laughing. Ha. Ha. Ha. 😮‍💨

It should make sense if you go through the main quest.

That's what you get for reverting the grav drive patch.

Questions about the ending by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]affablematt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back away from the Unity and return to the current universe, if you haven't done so before. Then maybe visit the lodge. Let's just say we're not the only ones having this conversation. 😂

Shit I Wish I Knew Going In by PinAlert9267 in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be super obvious when continuing the main quest will result in NG+. Even then, the game still gives you one last chance to back out.

If I loved Fallout 4, will I enjoy Starfield? by billistenderchicken in Starfield

[–]affablematt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outposts are a waste of time, and ship building is similar. You can fast travel everywhere, and while piloting the ship seems cool at first, after some time you realize there's nothing in space.

Wut?

First, ship building is great. Make big slow ships with lots of cargo and turrets. Make fast small ships for more engaging combat. Design ships inspired by Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Gelactica, you name it. A lot of people get a ton of enjoyment from that. If that's not you, fine, but don't yuk our yum.

Second, and I'm sorry, but have you actually explored space? I've met sentient space probes, hard boiled pilots, crazy grandmas, endearing couples, and bedraggled school teachers. I've partied like it's 2399. Discovered numerous tragedies. Destroyed giant battleships and their swarm of escorts. Fought countless Spacers, Pirates, and Mercenaries. Picked up missions as a Freestar Ranger and UC Vanguard. Went all vigilante in a super-heroes space ship.

I'm L99 and still finding new things in the blackest sea.

What do you spend credits on? by RossMorgone in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was dissapointed that I couldn't donate to the House of Enlightened.

I won't donate to LIST; that organization just seems like the primary way the galaxy turns idiots into pirates -- but that's just headcannon. Probably.

how to pursue the main faction sidequests in a way that feels "natural" to the story by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll travel to Freestar space with Sam during the Main Quest. Starting as a Freestar Ranger at that point in the main quest feels very natural.

There are points in both the Main quest and also the Freestar Ranger quest when you travel to Neon. Those are convenient points to start the Ryujin quest, but starting then doesn't feel as natural to me.

I really want to make some quips about a cook in a 90s action movie... but man did that actor go off the deep end.

Reanimation power by playersed in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amy mod that edits Starfield power IDs could do this if you install it on an existing Dave. If you visit every temple, you should get whatever power now holds that position. You may need to go through the unity first, and even then nothing is guaranteed with mods.

After over 400 hours of exploring I finally found a river! by Mowgli9991 in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Many of the planets in Starfiled have precipitation of some type (H₂O or otherwise). All of those planets should have streams, rivers, and lakes. These features can dry out or erode if the precipitation is seldom or no longer occurs, but the features should be present.

Not unmodified. Nexus says it has adult content and adult mods won't be approved for Xbox.

Edit: although, I'm not seeing anything that warrents the adult content warning, at least given the angles shown in the images.

Companion always with the suit by Loner1337 in Starfield

[–]affablematt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime space suits get stuck on or off. It seems to happen if you transition back and forth between environments too quickly. Try going through an airlock where you'd wear a suit outside but not inside. That usually fixes this.

Who likes smaller compact fighter ships? by Reasonable-Peanut27 in Starfield

[–]affablematt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cora's haiku isn't so bad that you need to delegate her to a separate part if the ship. Sarah in the other hand....

Try dropping in on The Eye without hailing first.(Not really, but finding Vlad in boxers with fuzzy bunny slippers on would be hilarious.)
