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.

@macole - This game is the main reason why I got a new computer, although I needed one anyway. But Bethesda games at least don't need the absolute top-of-the-line specs to run, usually.

@SubRosa - Regarding a few of your observations that particularly jumped out at me.

• Super jumping: That looks immensely satisfying. Acrobatics 100.
• Backgrounds: These have been mentioned before this showcase and I'm really looking forward to them. We haven't had those in a BGS game since Daggerfall. Those and the proc gen feel like a modernized Daggerfall-esque aspects.
• Melee combat: This (and the combat in general) appears to be a major step up from Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Melee has always felt super stiff but this looks pretty fluid so far. I guess we'll see come September.
• Adoring Fan: Agreed, outstanding callback with Craig Sechler back to voice him.

@Kane - Hell yeah.

@TheCheshireKhajiit - I totally get the abstaining from day one purchases. I think that is a generally good policy to have. That said, I'm not sure if I can hold out, lol.

Regarding melee combat, like I said in response to SubRosa, Starfield feels like a major upgrade in this department. I thought Oblivion and Fallout 3 melee combat was too floaty and not punchy at all, while Skyrim and Fallout 4 melee combat was too stiff and immobile. So far, Starfield looks like it has punch AND fluidity. And the combat in general looks VASTLY improved in the Direct compared to the gameplay trailer for Starfield released last year.

@Grits - Oh, I'm definitely getting it. Hopefully everyone else here is as well and we can all share out adventures! Maybe the thread could be called something like "Starfield Sojournings."

@Renee - Haha, sorry. I know you've been waiting for more on Fallout: Florida. Life has been really busy in recent months. But rest assured, I will continue it. While I haven't been able to write anything on it since the last post, I have developed a much clearer picture of how the rest of Part 2 is going to play out.

As for spaceships, I really need to start a list of ship names for me to use when the game comes out.

Ooo has it been said we can name our ships? I missed that little detail somehow! I’m thinking my Fallout character Désirée Devreaux will translate very well to the Starfield universe, and so is probably going to be my first character in SF. That means we already have a ship name picked out!

Can somebody translate the Daggerfall-speek? I'm not sure what you all are talking about.

What in particular are you unsure about?
