Earth is a Desert Planet ....really? and some other cons

[OkamiMZ]

yesterday i landed on Earth in the Sol System . its a Desert planet without any Buildings . i thought itwould be looking like Fallout or something . something fun to exlpore from the old World but nothing o.O

Starfield is a okish Game but there are some issues which bothers me :

-imersion only in English ... the German synchro is terrible and not lip sync
-npc or your helper always stand infront of you damn weapon ... really?
- KI is maybe from Fallout 3 or not there xD
-no nvidia dlss from start , only with mods
- no easy way to on and off the helmet ... sometimes you dont even know if you have it on only when you get damage ....why not a button to get it on ?!?
-planets are big but not soo much to explore and no vehicle to use on planets
-no really flying to the planet just a cutscene and a loading screen ... kills a little bit the immesion * even NMS can do that xD *
-exploring its a little bit like NMS but not so easy ... with some animals you have to wait until they sleep .. you cant scan them when they walking next to you ?!? logic ?
- the weight problem is still in all Bethesda games ... its more like a middle thing . you have to manage what you want to take with you . also there will be mods

so far i played 6 hours and i like it but there are some thing wich makes me loose the immersion

If you find some old books, they tell tales of the old cities of earth, and make a marker for you to visit.

the lore where God Todd destroyed the earth because he coudnt afford to develop anything meaninful for it ?

The German lip sinc issue is indeed really bad.
Like, "dub of chinese movies in the 70s" - bad
So bad that I stopped using the German version at all. Something I usually never do.

That the Earth is a wasteland is fine by me.
Its just boring that said wasteland looks so samey.
Other planets or desolate moons have more variety.

I am very pleased with the AI so far.
Just an hour ago I stormed a facility and the guard who saw me chose to run straight to his allies, who wouldn't have seen or heard the firefight otherwise, instead of fighting me on his own.
I would have wished that Red Dead Redemption 2 NPCs were be so clever.

The way we transition from one place to the other is indeed not very immersive.
I wouldn't want a NMS approach, since that only works because NMS planets and spaceships have very unrealistic properties and no proper orbital physics going on in the first place.
But I think there should be more incentive to actually.......fly.
We fly to a planet in a cutscene and when the cutscene is over we are already at the trigger point for the next cutscene.
Most of the orbital physics in Starfield works. Its sad that we can't do anything with it.
I think we should have some kind of "cruise speed" that allows us to travel distances manually in a meaningful way.

I don't really understand the "weight problem".
For me its working as intended.

I would however add another point to the list.
Prices for sold ships are too low.
If I want to upgrade the worst reactor in the game to the second worst I pay 10,000 bucks. Yet, when I sell an entire huge ship I found around Neptune the entire thing is worth 3,000 bucks, adjusted for registration fee.
As a result I just leave looted ships standing around or destroy them, because selling them is a waste of time.
Thats not how it should be.

In the helmet selection in your inventory there is a command that allows it to automatically be hidden in safe environments.

Go to the MIST building, just down the road from 'the lodge', speak to the bloke on the left as you enter (the one Sarah wants you to talk to) show interest in joining his faction and he'll give you a mission to complete.

Go in the lift behind reception and go down to the flight simulator room, first time you'll have to walk through the museum, in there it gives you all the lore why earth is the way it is.

it amazing how you started off slating the game but turns out the game has mechanics in place that you havent explored yet.

Based on the lore earth's atmosphere wanished because the planest lost it's gravity, but that wouldn't magically remove every building every car and every sign of life from the surface of the planet. Also if there is no gravity anymore the moon would have left the orbit of the Earth also. This is just simply weak and cheap solution and nothing else. They were lazy to build a separate randomly generated biome for earth filled with buildings and stuff, so they chose to make an empty planet.

It didnt loose its gravity lol, i dont think thats how it works, I think its the liquid core stopped
or something and it lost its magentic field, and the athmosphere evaporated. Its like with mars it used to be a water planet like earth but then it lost its atmopshere and solar winds turned it into a desert.

Ps - Your the first other Ice Cream I met <3

stawberry ice it is ;-)
but back to the topic. even if earth has lost its field some things doesnt match up.
i mean ruins/buildings woudnt just start to totally dinintegrate. also when scanning earth it is if i recall correctly marked as cold while literally the entire planet is a giant sahara.

The magneto sphere collapsed actually, which reversed the poles and exposed the planet to solar winds. Anyone ever seen the CORE? Remember that scene where they held the apple up to an aerosol can and a lighter? That's what happens on a WIDE scale, on a low scale, we are exposed to more radiation thus higher cancer rates/dying vegetation etc. So which do you think happened?

You.. you do know that Desert ≠ hot, right?
