For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you’ve already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!

Discuss all things Starfield below!

    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 in this thread and forgot.

      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.

            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.

              The other person made a good point but QA before release is important and lots of bugs were dead obvious in all the games.

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

        BG3 is my first Larian game, I will absolutely be going back to play them, after a long ass break.

        I had to step back from BG3 in the first week as it was already consuming my life.
