    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I remember doing this build in Mechwarrior. Pick the fastest mech, put all points into speed, have some needledick weapon and just run at mach3 and the enemy couldn't hit you as your jousted them down.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I actually think there are too many structures in Starfield. I expected a mechanic where you'd use your ship to scan for structures on a planet and there'd be like, 4 on a shithole planet. Instead you can drop into an arbitrary location and surprise surprise there's a huge factory a kilometer away.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'd say that a space enthusiast would enjoy Starfield because you get to explore planets / moons in a semi-realistic universe. That was one of my favorite parts of Mass Effect 1. One of the things I kind of miss is that in Starfield there aren't verbose descriptions of the planets that expand...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'd definitely be up for playing a huge content mod that just adds zones to explore in your space ship. I'm really surprised there's nothing like that (yet) in Starfield.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'm still in early-mid game, but the spaceship flying mechanics and gameplay is pretty basic in Starfield and the content is thin. Space combat is more of a minigame than an alternate to the primary gameplay mode of shooting/exploring.

    I've done a handful of entry quests for the factions and they're all higher production value than the entry main quest. It's crazy.

    I think you've missed the point: The characters in each scene should be supported by the lore. I don't really care all that much about this topic, it's not a very complex argument.

    This is the most elegant explanation of why social issues driving game development are annoying and harmful.

    I want to try out these Starfield Performance Optimizations Starfield Performance Optimization Starfield Performance BOOST I also am trying to convince myself I need to buy a new $2000 computer for Starfield.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Yeah the intro is a really poor introduction to the game. It'd be better if they more forcefully introduced you to the different factions with quest trails to continue those quest lines in an obvious way (and those factions were more closely tied to the game modes, ex: the LIST questline...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    This chuck e cheesed me for a bit. Another tip: find as small an island as you can that'll let you land on it, then move that targeting reticle pixel by pixel into the corner of that island until you can't move it no more. I did this on the thinnest gilligan looking island I could and hit the...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I bet a lot of the (very valid) complaints about the fast travel system would be subdued if the first time you visit a planetary body you have to fly there using a non-menu way. Ex: you could toggle a display in your ship that showed stars and planetary bodies you could grav jump to, and then...

    It's tedious on PC too. It got better when I realized I'd never run out of money and stopped trying to horde n' sell. Managing party inventory is especially haggard.

    There's more loading/transition screens in BG3 if you count the amount of saving/reloading I did to sample all the different outcomes in every conversation :D

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Went through a 130,000 credit shopping spree to upgrade the ship last night. I ditched all the cargo and extraneous components and condensed it as much as I could. Then stripped the weapons and put as many particle beam weapons as I could on it. Got Barret on deck (I have no idea if his skills...

    So I picked an ice dragon because I thought it looked the coolest (and he might be the best looking character I've ever played in an RPG). this conferred an incredible resistance to cold. I don't know if I took a single point of cold damage the entire game. It was just a wall of fire.

    I'm on team #gitgud here too. I knew nothing about the game or 5e and found the difficulty just fine. As soon as I started learning the rules everything started melting. I didn't cheese anything and barely touched the consumables. A skilled gamer with a lot of experience with 5e should be able...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I loved BG3 but the fights all felt like they were in the same design of two layered wide corridors. I would've enjoyed it being mixed up with some wide open spaces, forested areas with trees to hide behind, really tight corridors, fights where the party was boxed in, etc.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'm level 20 playing on hard. Ever since finding my Lawgiver I've just used it. When I found it I had 550 rounds and am down to 300. It's effective at very far range and close quarter combat, it's very strong. My "build" is a couple points into ballistic weapons and one point into rifle. I'm...

    It's funny how unintuitive yet powerful this strategy, that we've been employing in EverQuest for over 20 years, is. Anytime I used it in BG3 it felt like pure cheese.

    I got rekt by those gnolls when I was level 2. Noped my way into a lower level area and came back near the end of the act and curbstomped them. I think this was on balanced mode before I switched to Tactician. For me Act 1 "meta" was all about trying to find the lowest level mobs available. I...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Yeah the massive variation in weapon damage is confusing. I'm not sure if there's an attribute like "calibrated" that's causing it or if there's just a hidden ilvl scalar doing it. Right now I'm using a lawgiver and it's one-shotting mobs ez. I'm actually thinking about switching difficulty to...

    The description of the starport for your outpost says you get a bunch of mods, I'm not sure if it's a superset of all available parts or what.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The parent trait is advised, they're just so wholesome. Terra Firma is probably optimal, like Cinge says almost all fighting is on land. Maybe that'll change later or with mods. Feels like very few story quests will have you board enemy vessels, so unless you chose that life you'll be fighting...

    disagree. Man there's so many people arguing about whether this game is good. I've never seen such a divisive game release. I'm on team I love this game.
