I’ve been playing Starfield since launch, and in the beginning I LOVED the game. It seemed like there was so much to explore and do, I felt absolutely overwhelmed.
The game I had been waiting for was here and it was SICK.
Until now.
After beating the game, doing NG+s and doing general role-play; this game is just empty.
Every planet: 98% the same
Every random location: 100% the same
Loot in containers: Always garbage
Unique weapons: N O N E
Crafting systems: basic yet, EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED
Weapon Upgrade: ??? HAHAHAHAHA
Flying: Okay, this is the best part of the game
Fast Traveling: L O A D I N G S C R E E N S
Vendors: Less credits than one gun sells for
It just feels like all this game exists of is 12 different guns, 12 different random locations, 12 different geological features, 12 different biomes, 12 different forms of weather and a SMALL handful of unique and hand build locations that, to top it off: EXISTS AMONGST HUNDREDS OF PLANETS.
I want to play the game. My mouse is hovering over it right now. But I can’t bring myself to click it.
SINCE PEOPLE ARE ASKING: TIME PLAYED: 17d 22h 53m
I’m already playing with around 175 mods, which has eliminated a lot of the stupider issues with the game (e.g. broke merchants that make it impossible to conveniently sell off loot, crazy high ship registration fees, those mind bogglingly awful crowd NPCs, etc. etc.).
TBH, the main quest is incredibly uninteresting to me (never completed the Skyrim main quest either, though I’ve had a blast playing a 2500+ modlist for many hours in both SE and VR) but I’ve been having a lot of fun scanning planets and taking on random quests in various locations.
I think if it weren’t for the mods that already exist I’d find Starfield to be too dull and grindy to play for more than a few hours, but with them I’m staying engaged enough to buy the modding community more time to work its magic. Guess it’s kinda sad that this game needs mods to pull its bacon out of the fire, but cool that the modders have already accomplished as much as they have.
I know it might be a big ask, and feel free to say no, but could you share your modlist? like OP I dove really hard into the game after it came out but I was without my home computer for about 6 weeks, and coming back to it, I have no urge to get back into play Star Field. it feels very empty and dull. I’m hoping mods might perk it up a bit.
That is stunning game design
Sent you a dm with some info. TMI and off topic to post here, in my humble opinion.
thanks it’s very much appreciated! 👍
