Starfield 2

[Lord Haart]

Hi,

I’ve been thinking a lot about the potential for a sequel. Starfield has been a controversial game, offering an expansive universe to explore, intricate storylines, and a plethora of customization options. However, as with any game, there are always areas for improvement and new features that could enhance the experience even further. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the emergence of Starfield 2.

What changes or additions would you like to see in a sequel? Please list your points and elaborate on why you think these changes would make the game even better.

This is now the most refunded game on Steam. Discuss.

Nah, most refunded would probably be No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077, but they are both great games now so, who cares. Also, they'll probably just continue adding to this game and updating the title with DLCs. Like, Starfield: Shattered Space. I doubt there will be an actual brand new build of the game for decades.

Firstly much better procedural generation NMS in its current state is so much better at generating and presenting procedural planets than Starfield. But this would mean ditching the creation engine.

A reactive procedurally adaptive plot or plot elements, like the nemesis system to help flesh out the game play and make it more reactive to the player.

Better fleshed out and written missions that give the player more genuine choice and feel more consequential.

Modern facial animation on the characters.

Better and more interesting NPCs.

Better path finding on the NPCs, less bumping into each other and you in crowded areas.

Better physics, the integration of the physics library into the Creation engine is super glitchy, always has been.

Just a few things I think they need to look at of they want higher positive scores on a future sequel.

the facial animations are actually great if they didnt dumb them down for some reason. they can be extremely expressive if they wanted them to be

+1 for AI.

First you need Starfield Special Edition, Starfield VR, then Starfield Anniversary Edition, released over a span of 10 years. So maybe in 2033.

Starfield vr would rule. Mods would be needed like skyrim vr.

[minisithe]

Since fallout never got vr i doubt this would though.

I honestly always hope for a true sandbox game.
In all B games I have like Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Starfield, I don't feel the need to go after the main quest ever. Actually i fear the main quest as I am sure at a certain point will breack everything else I could have done and built in the world.
So I would really really like just a sandbox game. filled with quests like they are now but without a main story line wich actually, again, after 718 hours still in the first Starfield playthrough, I am a lot scared to continue and complete.

I never beat Skyrim. I modded it and played in VR. I have over 600 hrs at least.

I mean we need to see the final form of Starfield 1 post all DLCs and updates first, before I know what I'd want in a Starfield 2.

I've got a wishlist, but Bethesda may very well grant those wishes in their upcoming content.

This is what Todd Howard said more or less - that Starfield will have DLC's annually. This is what they should have done with the fallout games.

I've always looked at Starfield as a blank canvas.

[BRAN]

uhm ... nothing really comes to my mind ... Star Citizen?

I won't be around next year for the next DLC if they are going to do this every September. If this game was an MMO, yeah, but not a single player game. Very little in the gaming world is more irritating than trickling out content over years or even decades with single player games. Finish the game so I can finish the game.

Shattered Space isn't even in the top 50 sellers list. Let's see if they even come out with a second DLC after this one before considering a sequel
