Starfield is making 7D2D look great

As someone who backed Original Sin and Original Sin 2, I have to say the only Larian game I've ever actually enjoyed was the first 2 acts of Dragon Commander (a game that failed miserably.)  Granted, the only other Larian game I've played besides those 3 is Divinity 2 Ego Draconis, which had the floatiest controls I've ever encountered.

 

I also hate 5E D&D (more than I hate 2E, which is surprising to me, becuase I used to reserve the term "loathe" to describe my feelings towards 2E D&D), so that's a big part of why I'm unlikely to ever buy BG3, and if I ever do, it'll be for < $10 including whatever DLC it may end up getting.

 

I dont expected everyone to like it.  However, the numbers of concurrent daily players puts it into the stratosphere.   I'm not a huge fan of D&D (o even battlemaps) either, but I can't deny how well Larian has managed BG3 better than WotC has done with its tabletop version.

This thread is exactly why I want work on 7D2D to end soon then:

a) Get solid info as to what the new games the pimps are working on

b) Get an early access going

 

I too am excited to see if the Pimps have more for us.  Hopefully, these new titles will have far less development time spent on polishing after all this time and experience spent on 7 days.

The only real reason we get so much Content in updates it's cuz it's still alpha.  I'm afraid when gold comes.  Nothing new will be added aside from QQL stuff 

 

 

 

Not true.  There are definitely post gold plans to add more content.  From a level design aspect, we have brainstormed several interesting possible packs already.

Arizona? Let me think, .... the desert pack, desert pack 2, desert pack 3, ultimate cacti pack, desert pack 4

Well, at least Starfield didn't come of the gate like Cyberpunk 2077 did....They got that going for them  🤔

And don't forget the New Mexico add-on...

One idea is the starfield pack where the player uses the helipad at trader to summon a spaceship to take them into outer space.

 

Jking...would be a great mod though.

I'm really disappointed with Starfield. It's boring. Simple as.

 

This has no doubt been exacerbated by how good Baldur's Gate 3 was. Starfield looks epic in scale, but is as shallow as it comes.

 

People keep saying that Starfield and BG3 are different games, but they're both RPGs. I don't know. I wish I could refund the game but I've already spent well over 30hrs, but I haven't played the game since it was fully released (that 30hrs was accumulated from the premium version). 

 

The engine is tired, the NPCs are tired, the interaction is tired, the maps are rubbish (I had to use google search to see where the vendors were such is how bad the maps are in that game), you walk around for miles on end with nothing to do.

As someone who has played every Elder Scrolls game from Arena on, I can say I was super excited to see Starfield until I realized space wasn't space at all, you can't "fly" to planets and "land." The flying/space gameplay  was a massive let down. They took the very BEST part of space games and nerfed the hell out of the exploration aspects. hard pass until it's $20 on Steam.

Oh wait @%$#, really? Is it all just fast travel?

No there's not even that. You have to land where the markers tell you and even then they can place you miles away from that marker after you've clicked on it. It's illogical.

That's why there's all the talk about there being no transport being in the game because it would compound the problem even further; the problem being that there's nothing to do in between.

I think Beth understands very well that all Starfield really needs to be is as good a modding platform as Skyrim is.

and Multiplayer. I was excited about SF until I saw it wasn't MP. (correct me if I am wrong)

[Toops144]

From a performance stand point Starfield is shocking. I have an all AMD system with an AMD 7900X with AMD 7900XT, 32gbs of RAM and I can only hit around 90fps at 1080P Ultra settings. That's pathetic. 
 

 

[Toops144]

Just need to say that I don't have anywhere near the top AMD components either. Mine are not top tier. Top tier would 7950X3D CPU and 7900XTX GPU which are miles better than my set up, but I expected more from my setup regardless

As someone who has also played every Elder Scrolls game from Arena on, and still considers Daggerfall to be 1 of the all time greats, I can say I had zero enthusiasm about Starfield and am glad I didn't buy into the hype (or buy the overpriced game).

 

Bethesda "2 patches and we're off to sell DLC, we don't care if the community patch fixes a list of issues a mile long" Softworks has really cemented themselves as a bunch of @%$#ups, and for all the hate MS gets, MS games does tend to do a good job but I don't even know if they can turn them around (MS now owns them).

Wait.... there are people that dont?

Daggerfalls map was bigger than all 1000 Starfield planets put together.

They're still travelling across the map...
