Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project'

  “Bethesda game in spaaaaaceee” is more than that, you know it, and it was proven when one of the first costume mods on Nexus was the space suit suit with a force field boob window tyvm.

  Generic? Kind of a low intellect insult, but go off.

    What would you say the concept is?

    A just curious

      For sure, ill feed your curiosity. Starfield is expanding to the stars, massive choices on where the story goes based on your responses, the capabilities to befriend or antagonize any enemy whether a human, alien, or these strange pirates. You deal with politics, survival, and attempting to save the galaxy while trying to discover the hidden story. If you call that generic, I feel sorry for you.

        If you don’t call that generic, I have to wonder how you define the word “generic.”

        massive choices on where the story goes based on your responses,

        Really? What massive choices do you make? Hunter or emissary? That just changes the last 20 minutes of the game. Before then, you have no major impact on the plot.

        the capabilities to befriend or antagonize any enemy whether a human, alien, or these strange pirates

        But you don’t. You can’t befriend the pirates, there arent really any strange aliens, and you can’t antagonize most friends.

        You deal with politics, survival,

        Do you? There’s some minor “deal with this for me” stuff from the factions, but that’s hardly politics.

        And survival isn’t an issue in the game at all, even though you can see the scrapped leftovers from it.

        attempting to save the galaxy while trying to discover the hidden story.

        The “hidden story” is spelled out and telegraphed in the main questline. It’s not a souls like where you piece it together, they literally tell you to your face

        You also just described KOTOR 1 & 2, Elite Dangerous, Eve Online, Endless Skies, and in a way Hellpoint. All Sci-Fi.

        Sounds like an AI generated blurb and very far from reality, especially as you have almost no choice in anything, exactly zero of them feel meaningful in any way, can’t “antagonize anyone” (yay for essential npcs 😒), aren’t saving the galaxy and the “hidden story” is one of the worst “ITS THE MULTIVERSE LOL” stories I’ve seen.
