Elder Scrolls VI: Spacerim

This has been Bethesda games forever, we always get this same conversation. And I can't possibly imagine why.

I really hate essential NPCs

Especially in Skyrim when half the side quest characters are also unkillable 😒

I like the game. Shipbuilding, base building, and exploring settlements is pretty fun.

The combat's fun, shooting spacers hasn't gotten old yet, but otherwise, yup, very average.

60 hours in, either I'm playing it or thinking about it. Hell, I'm taking a break from just wiping out the Crimson Fleet to post this.

Yeah yeah puddle deep and all but I like Bethesda RPGs, there isn't anyone else making sandbox RPGs to compare to and it runs good enough on Xbox. My PC was never gonna play it well.

No matter how much you hate it tho you have to admit the dialog system is the best of the atudios' games by far. There are so many Persuade options and the mini game for it is done well enough. So many skills and traits get brought up in dialog like stealth, security, wanted, faction, etc. It's like an upgrade on New Vegas's system. Combat is great too and impactful . Hell I shot a guy in the shoulder and he grabbed it and yelled "OW HE HIT ME IN THE SHOULDER!" which surprised me. Space combat is fun too.

Wish UI and inventory management was better. Wish I could fly off the beaten path and find shit outside the "space box" you warp into. But whatever, once I realized it's Fallout, not Freelancer I adjusted accordingly. Games better than the haters make it out to be, and that's without any mods.

I completely no life’d Starfield on PC until Phantom Liberty came out…now my modded Cyberpunk new play through…I haven’t touched Starfield since.

Likely I’ll pick it up again when creation kit comes out in ‘24 and significant mods make the game what we were expecting (dismemberment, more mature themes, potential enhanced space travel etc)

This post tracks with the reviews I saw

lotting is worse and all randomized

What does that even mean?

Anon plays star citizen

space shouts ? I've played about 25hrs (it's become very, very repetitive in the last 5) but I don't know what this is about. Is it a new mechanic that reveals itself at some point during the game ?
