Just like Cyberpunk 2077, I will wait for this game to be worked on and get it for a discount later. I learned my lesson long time ago, not to buy big AAA games at launch.
Same. I think cyberpunk is almost done, so I'll probably grab it when it gets down to half off. We'll see if Starfield is any good after they finish it in 5 years or so.
For the things they clearly tried to do but couldn't do in their engine, it's too late. For the quest designs that either need to be ripped out or replaced with something dramatically different in the pursuit of being engaging content (this is not every quest, for the record), it's too late. For the conversation system where you feel every year that they've been reusing the same code, it's too late.
I dont think you can fix the limitations of a 15 year old engine with patches. I didn't buy it but I watched my friends who did stream it from start to finish. I am 100% sure these NPCs are operating off of Oblivion code.
Introducing paid mods is something I don't support but I'm interested to see what things look like when it launches on Starfield.
That aside, I hope they take the empty world complaints to heart, if they can make the world more full I am willing to return to the UC Shitcan and fight for my citizenship.
I've got over 100 hours in and all the trophies, nothing left in the base game for me, I'm not doing 10 playthroughs with 1 character though.
