    so, how is starfield in current state, the pc version specifically? I do enjoy bethesda-style games (fallout 3, nv, 4, london, skyrim, etc.). I’m aware that at launch starfield was, apparently, quite the shitshow.

      I had the Bethesda blinders on for the first few hours, but like 15 hours in and all I’m doing is fast travelling, running out of my ship to talk to a guy, then fast travel to the mission location and maybe shoot some people, or grab something, then fast travel back.

      The novelty wore off faster than any other Bethesda game I’ve ever played and I never did finish my playthrough.

        Oof, well, that does sound bad. But, still kinda interested. Wishlisted for sale, waiting for fairly deep one

      It honestly wasn’t so bad. I played about 80 hours of it, right after launch. In typical Bethesda fashion, I used a few ini tweaks and such to tailor it to my tastes. Mostly fixing the Stealth (which was horribly broken at launch) and balance changes like reducing the bullet spongyness of enemies.

      Both are now patched and configurable through the built-in difficulty settings.

      I enjoyed my time with it. I went in expecting a space-skyrim with typical Bethesda jank, and that’s exactly what we got.

        This is exactly what I’m expecting as well, so it’s fairly likely I’ll enjoy it. Wishlisted and waiting for a reasonable sale, I’m still kinda stuck in fallout: London for the foreseeable future - so not really hurting for content
