Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios Upcoming Title Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I thought we already had a thread for this but I couldn’t find it. Anyway, some supposed screens have “leaked”, which is funny given the timing right after the big Microsoft deal.

The guys are kinda annoying but the info they present is interesting.

Hmmm….I don’t know. I am in two minds….Well, yes of course I am Lol,
but no, what I mean is Beth has a poor track record of making polished games that do not need a lot of work from the modding community to make them close to what they should have been hmmm.

It takes a while for all those mod fixes to be made….So IF I take the Starfield plunge it will probably be a good six months after launch.

….and, I will only consider it IF my likeness can be generated in game, if I can’t be “Adella in space” then it won’t be happening in my machine huh! (Probably comes across as an entitled prig…but seriously, I do not want to be in a game where I have to be called Bob…have a ready made family, and have space bandits steal my baby at the start.

Buuuuuut….I suppose if it does come with a good free form char creation screen AND 3rd person pov AND it looks actually playable rather than a glitch and crash fest, then I suppose…..sign me up.

In an interview with UK's Telegraph yesterday Howard confirmed that Starfield will indeed be 1st and 3rd person. He also said this:

“It's also a bit more hardcore of a role playing game than we've done. It's got some really great character systems – choosing your background, things like that. We’re going back to some things that we used to do in games long ago that we felt have really let players express the character they want to be. So I think when you see it being played, you would recognise it as something we made.”

To me, this sounds like the chargen process may be even more in-depth than in previous games. As to bugs, that's anyone's guess. Bethesda hasn't had a particularly good track record with bugs, going all the way back to Daggerfall. But the fact that they are taking their time with this game gives me a bit of hope.

For those who are interested here's two more more snippets from the interview:

“Well, we like to put you in a world where we're not dragging you by the nose and saying you must do X, Y and Z, and that it's okay for you to want to test the [game’s boundaries]. You know, can I read this book? Can I pick this up? Can I do this? What if I do this? What if I do this? And the game is saying ‘yes’ a lot.

“And it has large scale goals and storytelling, but that minute-to-minute feels rewarding for you. And if you just want to pass the time and go watch the sunset and pick flowers it's rewarding in that way too. The quiet moments feel really really good.”
