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

Only the ants survived on Earth.

Yeah, I visited London mark and it was only a single big obelisk-like tower there.

And you have to play questlines to learn what exactly caused Earth to lose its atmo

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.

Totally scientifically accurate and possible lmao.

well for all that had a theory of no atmos because or/and evaporating water.
i am ingame right now and it is stated clearly that earth is:
type rock
1 g gravitation
temperature COLD
atmos thinn co2
magno none
fauna none
flora none
water definitaly

take it for what it is...

Oh its explained in the game what happened to earth, we didnt make this up ;p Also you could look up history of mars to understand better why it looks the way it does ;p

Scientist say earth is actually going to look like this in real life too in about a billion yaers ;p

It lost its electromagnetic field, not gravity. No body in the universe can "lose its gravity"

it's a nasa punk future. Basically a realistic future we could face or with what knowledge we have now with a few lil nudges where it could go. If we get to a point where global warming overwhelms our oceans this is the result.

Because there is not enough air to heat up. Like on the moon for example ;p

but regardless if its cold or hot i cant think of an event where all traces of humaiinity (exept for one in london) are reduceted to cosmic dust - unless of course the sun expand to a red giant but in that case the earth would be gone.

The Atmosphere gives us weather, temperature and protection. Even though it is just air it does form a barrier. Asteroids and other space debris will fully or partially burn up, can break up in smaller parts and due to the resistance will loose some kinetic energy due to being slowed down as well. Another thing most people don't think about much is how fragile our infrastructure truly is. There are some building that are old. Massive structures built of stone like the pyramids are still standing but not in their former glory. Most buildings are rather young by comparison, a century maybe, and they are still standing because of maintenance. Once the maintenance stops, the buildings will deteriorate fast. So even if the atmosphere is not completely gone (As mentioned above thin CO2) It will expose the planet to bombardment and with no maintenance most modern buildings would collapse within a century. To me is it more striking that there would still be landmarks left to visit other than perhaps something like hoover dam ruins.

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.

umm... the antarctic is the largest desert in the world and its... COLD. mars is a desert and it's COLD... what makes a desert? lack of precipitation.

There is lore in the game that explains everything. Check out some of the museums which span the systems. Earths history from the leap in space tech which allowed the expanse of humanity is covered up to present game year.

Sadly a lot of people get stuck in a linear mindset just playing it as a shooter, click through dialogue or bee lining the main mission/quest lines. Need to talk to NPC'S, look around, ask questions. User error.

***OH and its an RPG not a SIMULATOR as the game is LABELLED. I cant believe I have to keep repeating this. I play a LOT of simulation games, probably my most played. Flying through an atmosphere would be cool looking but it isnt needed being a RPG.

I really quite enjoy Earth in this game, it's the first space game to actually make it landable. Let's be real, no one will ever make it look like google maps unless it's a flight sim like MSFS.

Bethesda doesn't have time to focus all their efforts on 1 planet so they did they best they could and it's exactly what I expected, a barren planet with a few landmarks.

Elite Dangerous didn't even try and put up an invisible box around Earth in their game, and every other space game like NMS, Eve, Star Citizen wont even include the Sol system which is a real disappointment.

They literally explain this in the intro movie of the game

[BEEP!]

Your also forgetting this is well over a hundred sense earth lost all protection from outer space everything cooked like a couple people pointed out look what fuel from a plane can do to a massive biulding now imagine that everywhere and there would also be no protection against things hitting the earth look at Mars this isn't just thing slowly changed this is earth loosing basically everything that protects it from outer space in less than a hundred years read the lore & really think about how bad the situation was there's literally a colony ship out there that thought they were the last humans ♥♥♥♥ hit the fan really fast like the situation was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that your lucky there's anything left by modern humans such as buildings made from metal I could see the pyramid surviving but not the things we make.
