    ive played nearly all Bethesda games at launch. This one has the worst aesthetical feel. Inconsistent npc facial animations. All the apparel and spacesuits are ugly as heck.

    Id argue 4chan is right here. Outsourcing has its downsides in design.

    Btw. If you use the mod to turn off color filters the game starts to feel very dark, but with filters even shadows are colored. Inconsistent outcomes fixed with filters? To make it look more uniform around a planet etc. I do know about atmosphere colors, but atmosphere doesn’t color the darkness.

    I find the start kinda weird. Touchy tabloid, pass out. Wake up and akwardy get forced in to ship and spooky drone watching you. Got to the new atlantis and was bored already.

    Even skyrim did this better.

    Explored the first planet to see whats the deal. Terrorform was uglyass mf, but standing on 1meter rock glitches it completely, and then just empty all ammo on it.








  • Rested like 3 times Act1 top side and 2 times underdark. Didn’t see a need to rest more, but the game is kinda small or one big ass dungeon where there are no clear breaks.

    A lot of sense of urgency though.

    There should be a system to help player rest more. It so easy to miss camp stuff. I had to power rest 4 times in row to get the owlbear cub yo show up, before leaving the area.

    At ttrpg, most dm’s are adviced not to allow gale like backstory in to a table of normal low lvl characters, its very trouble prone and easily takes away fun and choice from others to make one character/player feel powerful.

    Plenty of Discussion online, where dm asks other dms on the internet advice about this 15 yr old teen. Who has this character gale he wants to play. Its actually cursed lvl20 wizard, literal lover of gods and has friends who are lvl20, and worst of all. Can interact with these lvl20 friend characters at low lvl. Also has a lvl9 true ress scroll on him that the other players have to use on his character, if it dies too early or the world ends.

    Plenty of issues, big ones and small ones. From writing pov.

    Lets take a small, but significant example.

    The dialog option to ask him about his cat in act 1. People who like cats are likely to ask him this.

    Asking about cat starts innocent questions narrative path about the cat. That ends in 4 dialog options, 3 different level options to be horny towards gale and 4th option to say cats are horrible awful things.

    Some on social media say this asking about the fucking cat starts the romance. A dialog Trap? Because for cat loving people its either savescum or romance gale by accident.

    There are other dialogs where, even after successfully save scumming to avoid romancing him, your Player characters responses are tailored to be supportive fan or absolutely rude as fuck with gale. It jerks away the immersion of playing a roleplay video game.

    Its odd, because most of the other dialog ingame is very high quality and has plenty of room for many different player character “roleplay” dialog.

    you can kill him after yoinking from portal in act1, because one of the dialog options is attack for some reason.

    Fail safe Illusion will appear, telling you have 2days to get the true ress scroll(lvl9 spell btw) out of his puzzle book or world ends.

    You will get game over screen unless you bring him back.

    My durge 2nd play safescummed and left him there in the portal 😂
