Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!

I feel like I’ve burned myself out a little bit on story heavy games after Baldurs Gate 3, so I cannot concentrate on the story lol

But otherwise…
Fps jumps between 30 and 90 and I feel the slowdowns (rtx3080, Ryzen 3900x here).
The graphics and animations are kind of shit. Standard Bethesda.
The menus are super fiddly.
The aesthetic is cool. I love the retro futuristic bulky style.
Music is great!
Voice acting thus far, is good.
Starship is cool but basically unnecessary. You just fast travel anyway.
Combat is pretty cool but stiff.

I haven’t played super far yet so im hoping it gets a bit better soon.

Music is great!

Thanks. I specifically meant to ask about this.

I liked the music in New Vegas a lot, liked Fallout 4". Fallout 76 was a disappointment music-wise -- I'm not a fan of country, and didn't think that the DJing was good, left the radio off. Was really hoping that the Starfield music would be good.

  That’s because Obsidian did new Vegas. Bethesda is good at making promises not games.

    Obsidian are great at sorry but also iffy at game Dev. NV was standard AAA bug fest.

    That seems a bit unfair to Obsidian. They were given an engine, they where unfamiliar with and had a very short 18 months of development time, very likely because of their deal with Bethesda.

    this was more a result of them biting off more than they can chew than an actual lack of skill
    
    obsidian seemed like it had a hard time letting go of grand plans even when they proved to be unworkable

    Still love it, maybe because it feels like they cared about making a good game. I still load up NV on occasion.

    I was fine with the music in Fallout 4, and Bethesda did that.

Nothing burns out a gamer like a larian studios game
