The player will be thrilled.

I'll play Starfield again as soon as this Managed Democracy™ reaches that quadrant of the galaxy...

It's inevitable, to be fair. Just, hurry up with the crossover already, Bethesda. 🤌🏽

He made the mod

But only during the brief moments between feature-film-length loading screens.

DLC expansion mod

Redundancy is redundant because of the redundance.

Downloadable DLC Content Expansion Mod Add-ons

It makes sense to me. It's adding something to base game rather than verging off in its own direction.

Kind like Wasteland Contraptions versus Nuka World in Fallout 4.

Expansions used to come in disk form, you know. They're not exclusively downloadable. And mods aren't always expansions. Each word contributes something different, even if they have quite a bit of overlap and are often considered synonymous these days.

The thing that gets me is calling it DLC-sized. So... small? Large? Is it horse armor sized or Shadow of the Erdtree sized DLC? DLC is not a unit of measurement.

What freedom unit would you prefer?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Personally, I grasp things best when measured in units of Runebears.

This message brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department, which facilitated the delivery of this message.

You can say that again

more sad than anything that it's a mod

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I was kinda frustrated that there's a mission where you hunt for mech cores. And there was no mech to ride.

Way to drop the ball Bethesda.

Why people trying to help Bethesda? They are a shitty company and Starfield deservs to have many negative reviews.

Do not buy buggy, uninteresting games and hope the community will improve them, so years later you can have a playable half decent product. Do not encourage big companies into thinking this kind of business practice is viable. Vote with your wallets people.

What do the giant mechs do besides stand around lookin' cool? Does it also add enemy attacks on your outposts? If that was part of the vanilla game, I never had it happen.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I had enemy attacks on my base vanilla

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I had wondered if I hadn't immediately done the pirate/police quest line as the first major thing I did (and I choose to destroy the pirates) if I would have had pirates attacking me at random. Really the only time anything set off defenses around any of my bases was when I was at them and a random critter wandered too close (and only on planets with wildlife; all the dead moons and such didn't have shit). Never had anything like Fallout 4's settlement attacks, that notify you when you're not there and such.

Has anything been made to fix the horrible storage management? I remember it being a huge hassle to automatically sort shipments at outposts, and what could be done was super limited. Ultimately made me put the game down entirely.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Still just gonna keep an eye on Starfield. Other games have gone from worse to great, though they are the outliers. Starfield has the potential to be great.

Course it'd be nice if we got more games with incredible budgets that weren't clearly sabotaged by upper management types whose only pastimes are generating graphs for next quarter's fiscal review. You'd think they'd understand "give us fun stuff we want and we give you money" and yet somehow that always seems to go over the heads of corporate types.

Bethesda relies too heavily on modders to make OK games great.

Why would we get them when players like you are ready to buy the crap they shovel out anyway?

And here, oh observers, a wild Makes Assumptions has appeared! You'll notice upon scanning that they start with the moveset Accusation and Points Fingers. Both awkwardly likely to inflict confusion upon themselves if they try to use their third move Double Down.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Its just some extra buildings for outposts, which I guess is the size of Wasteland Workshop, so technically true.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

When are they going to release the dlc that includes fun?
