So right now I'm walking on Venus.
I get that these spacesuits are probably pretty great compared to anything we have today. Maybe even great enough to resist 350 degree (celsius!) heat. But, I have to wonder about resisting 1350 PSI of pressure. They all look like pretty direct evolutions of modern spacesuits, except the Va'ruun and Starborn versions, and they look like they're just as much about keeping pressure in rather than out as their ancestors.

That's bad enough, but when I take my spacesuit off I can survive for several minutes. Longer if I use a certain power.

Should I submit some feedback and tell Bethesda that landing on Venus shouldn't be a thing?

oh cmon, you have to have SOME suspension of disbelief when playing this game, you dont immediately die when a lot of things that would immediately kill a person happens so... yeah.

I mean I will let you guess what system I am talking about but isn't Sol's closest system supposed to be binary?

I do hope this is a joke topic.
Although it is hilarious when someone complains about realism in a video game.
Why not complain that a normal person couldn't carry 10 different sets of spacesuits/backpacks/helmets at the same time? Or that interstellar travel isn't realistic?
Or how about all the food that's been left out at all these long-abandoned bases and it's still all fresh and edible?

So you stumble over the space suit, but not about space magic? ^^
The suit is a waaaay smaller leap then space magic...xD

Edit: You also forgot about the corrosiveness of venus's athmosphere...;P

Taking my helmet off on Mars was pretty disappointing.
I want my eyes to pop out like Total Recall.

There are two options there if you click it. There is Alpha Centauri and Toliman. They are the same point on the star map.

There's no need to be all spoilery vague about it; the real Alpha Centauri is just science and has been around long before it was ever in a game. And no, it's not binary. It's TRInary, with the third star, a tiny class M dwarf called Proxima Centauri, being the actual closest extrasolar star to us.

That would probably be Proxima Centauri, separated by almost a fifth of a light-year but still orbiting the combination of Alpha and Beta Centauri. He's right, there should be a second star actually in Alpha Centauri's system, but it looks like the map layout doesn't allow for that.

That'll work for me once they change it so I stop being deposited directly outside of my ship. I don't mind dying when I've been an idiot and jumped out without a spacesuit, but I do mind dying when I get dumped outside my ship when I didn't choose to exit.

You can remove the suit and walk naked there for several minutes.

Yeah, I know. And then with Personal Atmosphere you can extend it for an absurdly long time.

I dunno, BJ walked on Venus in Wolfenstein The New Colossus, he just gets a bit hot lol!

Maybe you should tell them that real space ships can't fly around in space as they do on earth. When you accelerate in space your ship would actually keep going until you either used a reverse thruster, or hit something. But that's not fun for games or movies....

Or how wrong it is that there is sound in space. If your ship had guns in real life, no matter how big they were, they wouldn't make a sound. There is no air in space and thus no sound. "in space no one can hear you scream".

It's a sci-fi game, it's not meant to be real.
