Thinking about giving it a shot again because I got premium and get Terran Armada for free. How many modders still mod for this game? Are almost all mods around launch broken?

guys, I’ve been out of the loop for a while. My newsletter told me that Starfield is coming to PS5, and there’s both a new free update and a new story DLC. I was taken aback by this.

That said, my original save file is borked, it takes too long to load and some of the moon locations are like wedged into the sun or are way out in space, so I can’t really access them anymore. This is also my completionist NG+10 universe, so I’d rather not jump to a new universe, even though I know it’d fix everything.

Shilling this mod again because it should be a mandatory part of your sound mods

How many people will still be playing Starfield in 10 years?

>>563265645
A lot more especially if it keeps getting patches and DLC.

>>563265645
Probably a few thousand daily. Could be more if that Star Wars mod blows up.

>>563264798
Did they fix the Astra guy in the TA ? He only gives cowboy guns if you joined the Freestar rangers.

>>563266643
That’s to be expected. I wanted more Starborn stuff, but a secret army of robots from earth is lame.

>>563262604
>it could be a disaster especially if the eso lore guy is in charge.
I honestly think that would be better than a pure Todd/Emil team. ESO has done a lot of stupid shit over the years but its also been willing to play with the weird, fun parts of the setting that Todd doesn't give a shit about, so they could offer him some much needed pushback when he inevitably tries to water everything down into a generic sludge.

>>563267408
>the most generic MMO “lore” slop
>fun
ESO is a blight on TES’s world building. The fact they recycled Skyrim’s story for Elswyer is a joke.
Emil is a mixed bag, but he didn’t touch the MQ for Starfield, he only handled faction quests like the Crimson Fleet, which is the strongest part of the game.

>>563267798
The sad fact is that they're all blights, there's no one left at the company that isn't going to botch the setting so its just a question of which method of botching you find least awful. I'd rather have ESO's questionable depictions than Todd just chopping things out left and right.

>>563269610
Todd Howard was right at the end of the day. Elder scrolls stood out amongst a glut of generic fantasy games when it first came out but pivoting to generic fantasy on the height of Lord of the rings was a brilliant decision and why elder scrolls sold so many copies. In the end TESVI will have a more generic fantasy on the forefront because people havent gotten a good fantasy game in ages while putting the weirder lore in the background for the TES nerds.

>>563271271
At the time when he left the gaming industry was looking a whole lot healthier, now with all the flops incoming I really doubt that these EX AAA devs can make any real good games that would survive. Staying at bethesda would be a whole lot secure in terms of job security compared to making more outside of it.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/skyrims-co-lead-designer-says-starfields-main-problem-is-that-it-never-fully-cohered-as-a-game-it-was-a-releasable-game-but-it-wasnt-the-best/

pretty interesting read. it seems that a lot of nu-thesda's problems come from the fact that todd & co. don't have ENOUGH control, and that they're mainly being forced to work with middle managers instead of the devs to cater to modern AAA needs

Lads CD got a new update

but i want to play SF

fuck sake i dont have enough time to play these gigantic games man

>>563271708
Todd Howard did say they couldnt find the fun in Starfield until much later. I do agree that it's better to push the game out and to improve it once you have players zone in on the biggest issues like with the freelanes update. As long as they keep updating and improving upon the game with player feedback, they can make something really special over time. Player feedback is key to great games now.

>>563271954
crimson desert is dumb as hell for not including a char creator

>>563272294

>>563271954
CD feels like the kinda game you'll come back to a year later and it'll have everything fixed up. The devs seem to be trying to change everything without proper testing so it'll take a while before things stabilize.

>>563272472
Nothings being fixed theyre just listening to player feedback and pretty fast too

>>563272003
i doubt todd has been involved with starfield outside of a zoom call where he nods since 2023, aside from being a talking face repeating talking points he gets from the skeleton crew working on the game. he has the fallout TV show, TES6 and FO5 to keep him plenty busy.

>>563272436
yeah but its not a real char creator. its just like using NPC faces as presets

>>563272610
the game didn't ship in a complete state and it's obvious they're just working thru the backlog. the feedback being "listened" to is just the fact that the most egregious features are also things high up in the backlog.
>>563272472
i'm a fomo retard so i had to play it at launch, but if you care about having the best experience this is the way. that said the game just has a fundemental lack of actual narrative content (and meaningful side content in general) so depending if you like your open world games being narrative driven or not, CD either is or isnt for you

Dropped the game after release back in 2023, I basically only focused on the main quest, then did a buch of NG+ to upgrade my powers before burning out.
Coming back to it and basically ignoring the constellation stuff actually is way more enjoyable this time around (started from scratch on a new save).
I maxed out the difficulty options which really make it more fun desu, although i wish fuel was an actual thing (i'm cautious about using mods/creations), and I wish there was a way to completely disable fast-travel (even to quickly leave the ship).

I don't really mind the quick flashes to black when entering a building, but I really wish they would have made a better attempt at masking the transitions when landing/taking off from planets. Or gravity driving.
I'd like to be able to keep walking around my ship even whilst landing and grav-jumping, just to help immersion.
It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it would definitely make it nicer.

Sidenote, is it possible to upgrade the Starborn powers before you enter the unity? I don't really want to do NG+ this time around, but I'd still like to eventually upgrade all the powers.

>>563275113
Seems like you need to at least jump once before being able to upgrade powers with Starbornium Cum.

>>563275113
Look up a mod called Revelation, I think that will give you what you want, but the new Starborn power upgrade system (combining powers and so on) is only accessible in NG+

>>563275113
You're not a full starborn until you enter unity once so you cant upgrade all the powers until you get to NG+

>>563271301
Exit cruise mode
Cycle through targets until you get the poi you want
They're not normally visible but if you can see it in cruise then you should be able to target it
Then you can fast travel to it like usual

>>563275616
Im afraid you'd have to test it out yourself, I dont have starborn powers unlocked on my playthrough so far.

>>563275616
There are two different systems. You can upgrade your powers like you're used to from NG+ without doing NG+, but there is a new set of modifiers you can do powers now. To access that, you need to do NG+.

>>563274969
Flying, Exploration, Performance and you know it

Sadly it does. The result of not forcing a limit on the player means saves get bloated the more you explore and grab items, and it's a lot worse for Starfield with all the locations you can generate. Bethesda really needs to implement a means to delete locations you're not going to go back to, though there is a mod that can do that, but I think it's still largely experimental.

You can either use the save cleaner mod which may lead to bugs, or enter the Unity and go into NG+. Getting rid of any junk you might be hoarding can help a bit too.

why the fuck is cruise mode so buggy?
why cant i set a marker on a planet i want to go and just use cruise mode

>>563278874
Hi, I personally recommend you stick to your character, and then speedrun to NG+10, at least. This way, you will experience the following by the time you jump 10 universes:

>each New Game Plus (NG+) iteration up to NG+10 increases the difficulty by making enemies deal roughly 10% more damage and take less damage from you, stacking to a total of +100% incoming damage and reduced damage output by NG+10.

This makes ground combat more rewarding, since you’ll have an excuse to use your Starborn powers. That said, it makes ship combat a pain in the ass and essentially insta-death, there’s no way to fix this except to go to the settings menu and lower enemy ship dmg to the lowest.

>>563281949
If you're not seeing the planets, that probably means they're disappearing. This might be caused by having too many mods installed

>>563282148
i have like 4 mods installed none alter gameplay or add stuff

Someone please for the love of god explain how the hell i can counter hazardous planet environments

>>563282218
Try relaunching the game and see if that helps. Things can sometimes have issue rendering properly if you freshly installed a mod from the Creation Club and didn't restart the game. Might be a good idea to restart your computer to clear corrupt data out of your ram, or even delete pipeline.cache so it can regenerate.

>>563281985
I’m more worried about collateral damage. Fortunately for my character, he doesn’t care about it in the slightest, as long as it gets the job done.
Btw, anyone else feels like being an asshole is much more rewarding in Starfield than any other game? Too bad being a criminal doesn’t pay much to justify the ridiculous bounties, it’s like Bethesda hard-nerfed it because it was too easy to get rich during playtesting.

>>563282391
Turn off the environmental damage setting in your Gameplay Options

>>563282608
But i don't want to?

Starfield is more of a sandbox game with the edges filed off, it's not as frustrating as other sandbox games but you still have to figure out what kind of character you're gonna be roleplaying in the world.

That's the addon that makes them all cyberpunk rejects. The base mod is very vanilla-y and fixes the abominations. Just don't pay for it, you can find it online. Souls of Cities works for me but you start seeing repeat NPCs after running around a lot, the Better Crowd Citizens modder even says that it does the fix better than his.

>>563309949
They became the defacto standard by acting totally differently, and then once that standard was in place they changed. That has happened many times online unfortunately. Everyone wants to "don't be evil" until they're in a position of influence. There has also been a serious and coordinated effort to capture the commanding heights of the internet's culture, which are moderator spots on various chokepoints. It's why trannies are not even 1% of the population but over half the moderators on reddit, hugely overrepresented as wiki editors, etc. They do everything they can to spread out and capture the things in their orbit while normal people just go along to get along, which inevitably results in a level of control that lets them push and preserve mental illness. Even happens here.

>>563310576
I think most of the people here would. Broader population, who knows. But most players don't actually engage with mods to begin with, that's one of those things that seems more common than it is because of the sort of person you're usually talking to when you talk about games online. The more likely explanation is just a combination of most people not finishing games, and Steam taking a few days to begin showing real stats. I've noticed many times that all my achievements get the ultra rare border on Steam for a new release for a few days because everything is at 0.

>>563312274

>>563312452
It's hard to really come up with a backstory in this game because no matter what the game treats you like everything is new to you, so even if you're a literal war veteran in background you have no idea what the colony war even is.

>>563312941
Some of them are scummy about it, but yeah, Bethesda only allows paid mods to be achievement friendly so a lot of people do paid variants of free mods for console players that care about cheevos, or just as a defacto donation button.

They (somewhat) patched the legendary weapon farming exploit in which you freeze an enemy and then spam solar flare on them and quick saving just before they die.

Now, the weapon and legendary rank are fixed, but the attributes are rerolled every time. This is a good thing if it’s a weapon you want, a bad thing if it’s a weapon you don’t care for.

>>563314367
It could have been interesting, but it's failed by the writing and the presentation. It doesn't mean anything to leave all of my life choices behind in a game where those choices never really happened. To my knowledge I don't even have to choose between the Vanguard and the Rangers despite both being part of militarily opposed entities. Does it make me choose between Vanguard and Crimson Fleet? Sarah doesn't love me anymore but it takes nothing to undo that. The only real choice is a disguised choice on who dies, which I have to manipulate to make sure it's always black faggot and not somebody important. If you want to ask deep questions you need the writing and the presentation layer to support it, not a guy who plays Madden as your head writer delivered by characters that just stand still.

It's alright, they fixed many of my gripes like lack of interesting POIs and boring space travel. But my biggest issue with the ship builder still stands and i wonder if somebody made a mod for that. The useless structures. Right now structures, except those that add attachment points of course, are just dead weight.

That pisses me off because building a good looking ship is objectively worse than one without covering structures. Is there a mod that makes structures weightless or even adds any benefits? For example all those cosmetic "thrusters" don't do jack shit.

Another thing is previewing habs(rooms) before installing them. You either have to already know what they look like, run back and forth between the builder and your ship or install completely empty ones and decorate them yourself. All dogshit options imo.

>>563314367
While a neat and perhaps novel way to do NG+, it actively prevented roleplayers like me from using the feature for my main character. Also like the other anon said the lack of consequences for choices in Starfield really detracts from it. Like they're trying to make the feature appeal to multiple groups and it has the opposite effect

>>563314870
I like building ships, but yeah I definitely need a way to preview and control the interior while I'm building it. It's very difficult or impossible to know how modules will connect and what is being deleted in that module by the connection. There is or was a mod that gave you some manual control over the connections between modules, but it should be a vanilla feature.

>>563314870
>Is there a mod that makes structures weightless or even adds any benefits?
Don't know about that specifically but you there are mods that multiply the power of engines and thrusters so you can make ginormous fat ships without a care. They also added, in the latest update, an upgrade that lets you have two reactors if you want to keep it mod free/vanilla/not-cheating
>Another thing is previewing habs(rooms) before installing them
I know there's a mod for that but haven't tried it myself. Once you have a great ship on the outside I don't see anything wrong with decorating it, it's basically your house/settlement.

>>563315913
>They also added, in the latest update, an upgrade that lets you have two reactors if you want to keep it mod free/vanilla/not-cheating.
Is that something i have to unlock? Because right now i can only have one proper reactor. I can add a couple of those smaller ones for 1 power each but that's it.

What i want to do is build a gunship that looks like a large jet. One of those 3x habs, a small cockpit, cover ugly spots with cowling and place all the weapons on or below the "wings" but building those wings, cowlings and fins basically kills the project because they are dead weight. Which means i have to use a bigger reactor and that makes the ship too bulky.

And i kinda don't want to decorate the ship myself because i have no idea what looks good, or even what i want, until i see it and i can already see hours going down the drain just figuring that out. I'd rather scroll through rooms that already look good and pick what looks best.

>>563314597
why would you need to do something so tedious when you can just make the exact legendaries you want with x-tech now

>>563316998
>Is that something i have to unlock?
Yeah I found the schematics in one of the end-of-POI "dungeon" chests
>Which means i have to use a bigger reactor and that makes the ship too bulky.
There's been mods for that for years now, so knock yourself out
>>563314597
X-Tech my guy. They literally addressed every complaint of the retarded legendary looting system. You can extract the modules, upgrade weapons and armor up to rank 6, reroll a bonus you don't want over and over, upgrade a white weapon slowly to Legendary.

The safest one is a paid mod called Tiny Reasons to Explore Space, but that limits you to exploring destroyed space stations and asteroids. ZSW Airlocks is free one that allows you to place hatches for you to exit through and fly around in space, but it ends up activating Zero G in your entire ship, which can cause a mess because everything that isn't static ends up floating around.

It's not really a measure of anything. It uses language that sounds authoritative but doesn't actually mean anything, which is a common journo trick. What does it mean to be "filled" with issues? It evokes an idea in your head, but it doesn't actually have any real meaning. I've played a lot of games end to end with no trouble that are supposedly "filled" with issues, especially these last ten years as journos have done this more and more.

It "failed", how, by what measure? You'll often see games that turned a profit and for whom the producer of the game is on a shareholder call saying they're satisfied with performance and then you'll see some guy who works as an electronic entertainment gossip blogger assuring everybody it failed, who's right?

>UC leaving Earth a barren wasteland raised as a point of failure for the faction

>>563326249
>It's got no better reason to be populated than any of these other lifeless moons
It has a great reason - because it's Earth.

>>563326415
Right, so pointless sentimentality. You'd have an argument if it was just polluted and COULD sustain life, then leaving it as it is would just be neglect, but as far as I remember grav drive mk1 was intentionally flawed to completely stop Earth's rotation or something like that, and fuck the planet forever so everyone would only have the option to leave.

>>563326750
>pointless sentimentality
Human culture, memory. Nothing pointless about it. Earth is our home and it is absurd for it to be abandoned entirely in a setting where far more inhospitable places host life. If nothing else there should be a massive UC research drive to determine exactly what happened and how to prevent it from happening on Jemison. The idea that there are tens of thousands of grav drives out there and you're one malfunction or bad tune away from killing the planet is insanity.

i still havent figured out how transit mode actually works
i cant place a target on a planet and auto pilot to that point
its always fast traveling

>>563326938
>If nothing else there should be a massive UC research drive to determine exactly what happened
They know what happened, grav drive mk1 was flawed, the multitude of jumps performed in Earth's orbit as people made their exodus fucked it even worse than it already was. They fixed the flaw. The starborn who provided the schematics left the flaw in intentionally so that humanity would be forced to populate the stars, purely so he'd have more fun things to do out in space.

>>563326954
That's correct. Landing is still the same as it always was. Cruise mode is just to replace when you would fast-travel from planet A to B within a star system and give you some random POIs along the way if you want.

>>563327326
>They fixed the flaw.
Yes, but this is nonsense. It's great that they applied the macguffin valve to the drive, but you have tens of thousands of them out there and eventually that flaw will reemerge. That's just a mechanical reality.

>>563327365
