Funny that Lulu from Descent into Avernus is in the backgroud. She is that flying elephant. I nixed her from that campaign. Hella-annoying.

I didn't take that to necessarily be Lulu.

Maybe, maybe not. How many other magical flying elephants are there on the Sword Coast?

Hollyphants don't necessarily frequent the area, but they are a race. It's not like Lulu was a one-of-a-kind.

Lulu is more likely than another Hollyphant, but it'll be kinda awkward if she's a major NPC for anybody who didn't get her story in Descent into Avernus.

Would be a really cool throw back though! And maybe not even major NPC but maybe like a side quest or something.

I'm all for a cameo, for sure.

I wouldn't doubt it's her, I just don't take it as a given.

Starfield is a single player game on gamepass that's more than likely gonna be FULL of game breaking bugs on launch...because you know, Bethesda lol. It can wait xD

[Lucifer]

There is many good games and DlC going to be in end of the August it's going to be awesome that's for sure can't wait to play

[dolby]

yeah looks cool on paper in this case trailer, like already said way better then last weeks trailer, the golems still sux though lol. Anyway as always trailers are one thing and the gameplay is totaly different kind of beast... I need Mutiple detailed sidequests that are detailed like hag lair at minimal more the better. IF they did that it's and more, the city will do fine.

I really dont need a big city if it's boring/empty and doesn't have a good sewers - back alleys with stuff to explore...

I'm kinda with you here dolby. I really enjoy a good fleshed out city with sewer systems, back alleys, black markets, etc.

Seeing Sven admit time and time again the game is 3-4 times bigger than they wanted in every aspect is funny. Its a good thing wotc is forcing Larian to this standard of grandeur, resulting in brilliance. The city looks wicked good.

yeah, For some reason nowadays most devs always think bigger maps are better. But i see it as: IF that comes at a sacrifice(normaly it does) of detail and side content i prefer smaller maps and those richer.

I heard plenty of times if you can see it you can go there in trailers.. Where in fact it was seldom true and even if it was the details just wasn't there or was randomly generated or whatever the case may be(I'm sceptical about starfield as well cos of the same reasons) so i take this trailers with a grain of salt... Untill i can see uncut gameplay or try it myself.

It looks good so that's a good start!

But as some one who makes promos for a living i know it doesn't mean much lol. In the end those trailer - promos are designed to do just that, take a product and show it in best light possible.
