Starfield

Honestly I'd rather have romance be more like Fallout 4 (but much deeper) than gated because I will inevitably, and without fail, fall for the romance choice I can't have. (Though if there's a companion/npc who isn't a romance, I will probably want them the most. Looking at you Deacon.)

But it does make me a teeny bit more interested in the game, especially if those people in the art are companions. I've no idea if this game has companions? or just npcs you run into? I know very little other than space.

Why do you hurt me this way Nick? WHY. (To be fair you had plenty of options to mock me over in that game. I have three V's and not a single one has a canon romance. )

Hopefully, I much prefer games where we have actual companions we can run around with rather than just npcs we go talk to. The robot looks fun, reminds me of a Loader Bot from Borderlands a bit. I would hope maybe the others are also companions or people we meet and aren't just there for the art. Though the robot being called Vasco is just... gonna be weird. 

Nick hyping himself up. Just don't get ahead of yourself and end up disappointed.

But the game does look good and I'll happily take Fallout in Space this game until I get another Fallout. I am curious about the 'one thousand planets' thing though because no way can that many planets be interesting and have unique stuff as that's just a crazy amount of resources (and I would feel compelled to visit every single one.) I am looking forward to the base building though because I loved it in FO4 even if my bases weren't very extravagant.

I mean if they showed them in the concept art with the robot companion... it has got to mean something   #toosoon


also besids body type (yay not playing as gym boy again lol) I noticed you can choose walk style

its coming and I'm here for it 

Let me romance the robot. In all seriousness the customization really pull me in and the immersive world, just hope it does look as good when it launches.

omg the rabbit hole I'm getting myself into   

The blonde woman is obviously important, and space daddy has to be too   the female voice saying "the new guys found it" has to be the blonde woman, the voice is pretty much the same but maybe I'm seeing things 

this other daddy maybe an advisor?



also, the fact the main protagonist found an artifact and gave them visions is very telling that the plot of this game is going to be finding sapien alien life (sentient wildlife exist so lets hope lol)

I'm hoping that the game has a good chunk of meat to it and that the 1k planet is more a completion thing than anything as I doubt every single one of those would be a giant hub filled with life. I'm expecting some Mass Effect-esque planets where maybe you just scan them or something than be able to land on and visit all. Even if you can idk if they'd really put the effort into 1k having a ton of things to do. I'm excited for the rest and whilst Bethesda story lines can be hit or miss it's usually somewhat chunky content wise. I'm just excited for a new Fallout-esque game to play in Space with all the things I enjoy. I am expecting exploration and base building to be a big part of it.

I kinda expected that from what they showed. I liked the voiced protagonist in Fallout 4 but I know a lot of people didn't and I guess this will help for any quest mods people might be able to make if there's no voice to deal with. A shame though, dialogue felt more personal when voiced and not first person zoomed in but oh well.

One thing that the twitter replies made me lol are those saying that -you- are the protagonist and it will be more immersive because of it and blahblah and like... pretty sure I'm not a dude in real life, the immersion factor it already kinda null and void there. XD

Forced first person for dialogue would take me out of immersion whether there was a voice or not though so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I'm just really confused by people who make the complaint that a voiced character means they're playing as the character and not as themselves. Like... isn't that the point of an rpg? When I play my Shepard I'm playing as Shepard (albeit with my decisions) I'm not trying to make a clone of me in the game. Maybe others play this way but idk that feels slightly weird and even less immersive to me.

Sigh that's disappointing. I am not sure why I see people celebrating these news, but I am not a Bethesda player I guess. I don't mind first person that much but it does bother me when is a mix of both first person and no voicelines. I like to see my character I created in action and actually speak, I can't feel immersed if my character doesn't really feel like they are part of it. Like, do they expect me to just act out my lines? XD.  It did bother me with Dragon Age origins too having no voice, but at least I can always see the character. But when is a situation of both things, I think it just ruins it for me.

I guess for me what I like about RPGs like Biowares is that I feel somewhat like the director of the story/narrative, like basically I was given a script and then I have to decide how that script goes, choose my lead actor, choose his lines, what type of hero will be etc. Now the hero does tend to resemble a lot of me, and sometimes it can be a version of me in that universe but is not 100 percent like that, is more so is inspired by me. I get that people really want to feel they are that character, but that contradicts character creation in the first place, if your doing things fps.
