After Unity

[Leah Damien]

First of all I want to say that the game played flawless all the way to the end of the story mission's. The scenery was awesome, the character's were really well played out with the story line's. I was level 43 when I fought the hunter and emissary at the end. Once I got the last artifact and entered the unity I was transformed into star-born and got their ship. I lost everything I worked my ass off for. You start the whole story line over again. I kepted my level but all my skills were reset and I had to redo them all. I'm not going through the whole story BS again. And btw the star-born ship is a POS. Only thing left to do is repeatable missions and the mission boards from the factions. I still have over half the planets I haven't been to yet. I am very disappointed that I wasted all my time and money I spent on the game just to beat the game in just a few days. They could of at least made it so you have to get to max level and go to most of the planets to gather information on whereabouts the rest of the artifacts are. But instead they shortened the story so you have to grind your ass on mission boards and repeatable missions. Of all the work they "Said they did to make this game awesome" is misleading and cheesy just to make a quick buck. I am very sorry to say this and I hope some of you might feel the same way.

Wait, what?
Your skills were reset?

That should not happen..

And it's not Bethesda's fault you rushed thru the main quest line and started NG+.


(And everybody hates walls of text you know..)

You must have been very angry if you played Fallout 3 at launch and zipped through the main story.

your "skills" aren't reset... you lose your money, your ship, outposts and any gear... aka they drop you down fresh on the planet, but not naked, because you do get a weapon, suit, and a ship. all your achievements etc you still have, it's just the tangable physical items that are either replaced or removed to restart.

NG+ each play through is different in subtle or major ways and your suit and ship upgrade each time you redo it. as for the main artifact mission and getting unity again... when you restart you get a nice list and instant access to vlad again, so it's not some long drawn out thing if you what to hit the NG 10+ sweet spot.

You need to buy an enter key asap.

You actually dont get a weapon. Unless your talking about the weapon you randomly can find behind the locked door at the lodge.....

I went back to my pre-NG save. I'm not going to do any of that stuff till I complete the game the first time. It nearly ruined it for me. I went back and it is much more enjoyable. I worked to get where I am with the ship I have and the relationships I created. Leaving that behind is no good for me.

I totally agree, finished the game and tried NG+ , but I felt...naked xD I will definitely do it after finishing first playthrough. I have so many missions for at least another 20 hours. It doesn´t seems like it, but it´s bursting with missions which you can overhear, stumble upon and so on.

First 30 hours were quite... meh, but not bad. But after that - damn, what a ride!

Emil is a midwit. He thought this was a cool idea but in reality it makes everything meaningless. Typical post modernist nihilism.

I think it’s cool what it does and I kinda wish it actually did reset your level lol. The whole parallel universe thing is awesome with the differences here and there like everyone in constellation being dead
And that actually impacting the story in weird and interesting ways.

I think people are just butthurt that the game calls out the kind of people who would play NG+ specifically. I don’t think it earns it as well as undertale.

Racing through the main story/quest is certainly a viable way to play any game, But it's not the only way. That you are disappointed that it went by so quick does not surprise me. That is a a feeling that occurs in many aspects of life which is why we have phrases such as, "stop and smell the roses." What ever one thinks about Bethesda or RPG games in general, Starfield is a huge game. There are few games out there that are so in depth with so many immersive aspects of game play, so many rabbit holes one can dive down and spend days or weeks or months. I have 200 hours in now, and feel I'v only scratched the surface. I just posted in a thread asking if we have finished the main question/story yet. I'll paste it here:

I went about halfway through the main story, got sidetracked into becoming a Freestar Ranger, got as far as getting the pistol, but not the ship at the end, got sidetracked doing the Mantis quest line, which I did complete, got sidetracked into ship stealing which led to ship building which allowed me to travel all the way across the galaxy and visit lvl 55+ systems, which led me into base building which is where I am currently.
What was the question again? Oh ya, the main quest. Um no, but some day. 8-)

Yeah, I was honestly suprised on how fast I finished the game while doing literally every side quest I came accross. Especially the main quest really feels rushed.. I mean.. at some point you just fly around, walk into one mine after another and do the same "mining laser + artifact" routine from the tutorial over and over.. only to then fly to "temples" that were copy and pasted dozens of time to repeat the same "puzzle" in there.. over and over.

Especially that puzzle annoyed me. It's nice to do it once or so, but having to do it what? 30 times? It's just a bother.. which makes you wanna not hunt down the temples.

At some point I just jumped from one system to another, hoping I'd find cool side missions that way.. like the one LIST mission I found where I helped 3 families fend of some spacers. But I rarely found anything worth mentioning. Most quest I found where over within a few minutes.

For a game with "exploration" as a motto this game sure lacks the rewards for you exploring everything. I mean, sure.. you could go down on planets and scan everything.. but why should you? It's always the same flora, always the same fauna.. and always way to many plants/animals you have to find and scan on these boring rng planets.

I hate to say it, but when it comes to exploration, wonder and story.. Skyrim and Fallout 4 are waaaaay better than Starfield. Maybe, if they pump out lots of dlc with lots of new factions, cities and hand crafted areas to play in.. maybe then it's a different story. But right now I think once you finished the faction quests and main quests there is not much to do in this game. Quicktravelling from one system to another in hopes something interesting sends you a radio message is not very.. entertaining.

Haha. Nailed it. My thoughts exactly. I got involved in so much stuff and so much more to do that starting over is not even an option right now. When I went to NG+ I was like, really, now its all gone and for nothing? I'm staying in my first universe for as long as possible b/c that initial feeling of adventure and wonder will never be repeated again in a new universe.

Sounds like they created a pseudo MMO with Korean level grinding as end game. meh

Already completed most side quests after walking around the towns and gathering any side quests. Just have the Aurora crafting repeatable, and Mission boards left. Don't even want to build outposts, pain in the ASS to shuffle resources onto limited ships. Easier to just buy the resources from vendors and put them in basement of the Lodge. End game money is easy to make, mind you I have to strip down all the stiffs and sell guns and such, but I have over 1mil creds now. Suppose I don't need that, but I played Skyrim for a long time, and it trained me to pick up everything. If anyone is to blame for that, it's Bethsesda.

Oh my lord, wall of text central. Sorry to digress but I feel I needed to stress the need for text formatting....

[kdigson]

I avoided the Unity till level 57. And it's even worse than I feared. Leaving this BS behind and going back to a previous save. Why the HELL would I want to walk through the same BS twice? TERRIBLE game design choice.
