Game is Lifeless

[Lemale]

Once you played some time you realize how shallow this game is. Lifeless planets and boring exploration, Boring npcs and writing. It may be skyrim in space but with 16 times less the charm

Yup

Sterile is the word

But this is Todd Howard's dream game. The game he always wanted to create.

[ECHOxxONE]

For me this game is a STEP BACKWARDS in gaming evolution

1. They took away our freedom to fly our own ship to the surface of a planet.
2. They took away the ability to fly our ships anywhere we want on the surface of a planet.
3. They took away ground vehicles in place for running with the garbage explanation they wanted us to walk the surface and explore that way, WTF. There is nothing to explore because its all the same building design and planet layout over and over and over. Boring as F.
4. A.I companions attached to your hip as they mirror your moves for example, kneeling, pulling out your weapon or storing it and everywhere you go the A.i. companions are in the way up in you ars all the time. Lame and outdated A.I. companion behavior.
5. There just simply is not much to explore, its all the same over and over and over.
6. STORAGE is garbage, U.I is garbage and Lazy in design. when I dawn my Space helmet I do not get a sense that I am wearing a advanced futuristic helmet, I expect there to be a heads up display showing basic info, other then the garbage U.I. that's in the game now.
7. LOADING SCREEN after loading after loading, my gosh.
8. Same regurgitated building design all over the place
9. Regurgitated npc's found all throughout the game, I came across many of the same looking npc's, even the same skin as the companions many of times.
10. No point to outpost's, whats the point for crafting and gather resources?? Nothing at all because in the end credits mean nothing, crafting in the end also has no value , there is no foundation in Starfield for a economy.
11. Story is mediocre at best.
12. Again, when you land on one planet, you have seen it all. It's just copy and past for all the rest, boring As F.
13. Graphics are outdated, feels old and lazy in design.
14. Combat is absolute trash, I mean my gosh. I am playing on hard and I just run up and blast the enemy npc's in the face, heal up and smash my way thru, no sense of real danger at all, wtf.
15. Overall the game feels like a massive hand holding by the development team.
16. The fact that Todd/others keep bringing up the modding community and what they will do, red flags that even he and others knows the game is lacking in creativity and imagination and needs support from the modding community to make the game enjoyable.

This is my idea of what could have been a great game for Starfield: fix/update/add to the above issues I have, then Why would they not have created a universe with maybe let's say 5 solar systems that are rich with creativity and fantasy full of art and design ideas for what the future could look like, then add DLC content to the game with more solar systems rich and flourishing with content INSTEAD of the garbage that Starfield truly is which is, unimaginative, un-creative, boring, restrictive step backwards in gaming evolution.
I wanted this game to be something new and refreshing and been really excited for it for half a year, now its just another empty, boring lame maybe 5/10 average game. Ok pushing 6/10.
Also I have 83.3 Hours play time, attempting to refund. :)

I hope this isnt a worthless negative topic so i will try make a relevant comment.

Sort of needs cats and dogs for sure especially since cats were advertised. Some harmless friendly birdies flying around on the planets, maybe budgies, or at the very least harmless or maybe even hostile insect swarms shouldnt be to difficult to add since so much has already been accomplished.

There is a giant lizard pet of one of the characters in game already which is cool.

Which reminds me my space ship naming topic had Budgie as a space ship name but that topic got locked.

Travel farther out... there is alien wild life.

Sometimes I forget I'm not on the Baldur's Gate 3 board and I'm like "wtf, is this person crazy!?" Then I realize it's for Starfield.

That feels like assets bought on a 3D model website, with the most basic of AI and only there to fill a fauna requirement and give you resources + XP

Super Mutants and Forsworn felt more realistic than aliens on an alien planet

Well if space travel ever becomes a thing in your lifetime I would suggest that you just stay on earth, because in reality space is full of lifeless rocks. Not that many planets have what it takes to support life. It looks to me like Bethesda was just trying to mix in a little bit of reality with this game.

Super Mutants would be cool.

There absolutely has to be a super scary hostile alien invasion. I am not the only one thinking the dlc will have that.

Everyone was hoping for Space Elves to, only ugly Space Trolls dont like Space Elves it sort of defines Space Trolls.

Obviously you haven't been on the BG3 boards. The anti-wokes are there in force as well.

They did not take those things away for you because they didn't even give them in the first place :D

I think they can fix all of the said issues above, except the story and the AI simply because they don't know how to code them better, otherwise all of their previous games would have received an AI improvement across the board. For the writing, with each new release it has gotten more washed up to the point where it is laughable at best, especially with the voice acting.

But again, this is Bethesda that sells DLCs with House Building, Horse Armor, and so on. They always expect modders to make the game more updated in terms of graphics and mechanics.

There is only suppose to be alien wild life in the game. That was disclosed prior to launch.

Go hunting... a deer in RL they only have basic intelligence. Not sure what you are expecting from them. Super alien wild life with 5 attacks and 10 combos?
