      Probably were in the wrong camp, had a Sega Master System or Genesis or something at the time.

  If you retry character creation with the second controller expansion pack, you can get a green suit.

  God I was about to downvote you because of the spaceship comment. Like “Damn, some guy literally gives you his spaceship and puts you into the combat tutorial in the first 30 minutes.”

  I love the comments that arent getting the joke, though.

  I see exactly what I expected. I didn’t bought the hysteria on Youtube/insta/TK.

  And I didn’t preorder the game because of that hysteria. The Hysteria looked a lot like the Cyberpunk Fiasco. Realistic expectations., we seem to have lost that capability with upcomingh video games. When something sounds too good, It is.

  I don’t know what you saw Todd say where but I just read some interviews like this one: ign.com/…/todd-howard-interview-starfield-sgf-202… And in nothing i’ve red from him even resembling the hype around this game.

  TH: “We do lock it at 30 [FPS], because we want that fidelity, we want all that stuff.”

  That means 1 thing: not a real action game, more in line of FO4, maybe NMS like but more like RDR. A dogfight @30FPS is over before it starts. Beauty is more important then speed for this game.

  Speaking about RDR, TH: “So I think it also as a flow, probably has more of a feeling of a [Red Dead Redemption 2]”

  Here you have it literally:: a game like RDR. Not NMS. Not Elite. Not StarCitizen. But like RDR. That means that the ships are more of a means of transport then a real gameplay mechanic. And space is just the theme.

  TH: “this is like five or six games in one, right? It’s the spaceship game, it’s the on the ground game, it’s just a dialogue game, it’s an outpost game, it’s a crafted game. It does all of these things, and so… And it always is tricky for us to get a good game flow where those things don’t feel like they’re separate game”

  That means the spaceship part is not front and center. All these things he states are just pieces for a standard RPG:

  • Ground game: Loot and shoot.
  • Dialogue game: standard RPG.
  • Outpost game: base building.
  • Crafting? Standard part of every RPG in the last decade.

  Add to that it’s build with the Bethesda engine. We know it’s capabilities for what… 2 decades? We flew in FO4. But we didn’t steer… It was on rails

  This all meantin my mind that the spaceship part had to be a transportation mini game.

  So reading the official stuff, I always expected a mix between FO4 and Mass Effect. With a mobile “base” (your ship) with maybe some light spaceship combat. Sprinkled with some exploration.

  Not a game which morphed all those separate game types. Just an FP/3rd p ARPG set in a cool science fiction universe.

    So, I think that your comment is well-considered and makes valid points, and it references back to the actual interview material.

    But just to be clear -- because I don't know if you are responding to him or not -- the comment you are responding to is not a real complaint. The user you are responding to is pretending having confused the original Super Mario Brothers with Starfield.

    I believe that he's poking fun at some other complaints in the thread that he didn't consider reasonable.
