The Starfield thread

SeRpEnT said:
My initial thoughts after playing 2.5 hours:
  • Smooth as butter
  • No bugs yet.
  • Some great graphics and so far one disappointing area. Space ship inside looks really great. The same with the indoor mining building/s. Also great visuals around the New Atlantis city CBD area... but when I left the lodge to explore the wildlife of New Atlantis and the garden area it was all a bit underwhelming. Stiff trees (no movement/wind) and water at the sea/beach area. Skyrim had much better outdoor scenery... so how come the New Atlantis trees and sea/beach area look so dull and almost low quality? Please note - I am playing on a Series S. But would be surprised if New Atlantis wildlife and gardens looks much better on other devices. I feel they spent a lot of time on the city but neglected the outdoor area. But being an open world area to explore I guess there are system limitations as the city is always in the background (using resources?)
  • Gunplay was smooth and felt proper.
  • However the AI or behavior of the space pirates I met thus far was a bit weird. Sometimes come running at you and just stand in the open shooting. Others try to hide. I guess as in real life there are also some really brave and idiotic okes in Starfield?
  • The sound effects and sound track/music... Oh WOW. Amazing. Love it!! Great space sounds and booster/engine and gun sounds and outdoor sounds. Soundtrack and music thus far brilliant. Creates a great atmosphere.
  • Ship/level/building/room design so far - great. Lots of love and detail was put into this. Feels like real people are staying there and using the offices/rooms/labs. Tissues and handcream anyone? :)
  • Space combat.... hmmm. Jury still out. A bit of a learning curve there to figure out all controls etc. Certainly looks visually impressive.
  • Space travel... to early to say? Perhaps a bit limited based on my very early experience? Can one fly around a planet and to other planets/moons without the use of fast travel? Would surely take some time if it's indeed possible!
  • Third person mode - My preferred mode for space travel - to see my ship in space - but the movement of the character model in third person mode is a bit weird/wacky. Animation feels a bit ... strange.. haha. Not a deal breaker however as this is a 1st person game imo.
Overall impressed. Going to put a lot of hours into this one...

This is something that keeps being said but.... it never really happens. At best you get clunky mods that deluge you with anachronisms. But I suppose that's what keeps some players come back for the next slow endorphin drip experience.

Maybe I'm just cynical after FO4 that barely missed being a disaster I dunno but the reviews thus far have not been encouraging. All the praise seems empty and all the problems seem exactly as I predicted.

What?
I've added 100+ hours to Fallout 4 from great, DLC sized mods that add new locations and characters, polished, fully voiced and amazing

Same for Skyrim

Saying 'it never really happens' is total garbage and shows you have no clue what you are talking about

The story of F04 basically becomes incoherent shortly before the big showdown.

The settlements component is garbage, PITA to do and if you use an auto mod to do it for you eventually you reach a limit and crashes start.

Radient quests are annoying

The whole thing hinges on "robots are people too" bleh

Only 2 big quest DLC with the rest being obsessive over settlements

The romance system makes everyone polyamorous apparently

RPG in general wise it was basically neglected in favour of shooting and settlements

Shooting is basically the only component properly implemented

etc

I would give it a while for a few patches. Perhaps after a bit of optimization, it should run on your card at medium, perhaps some high settings. Right now it needs a little work. On my 4080 I'm getting around 60-75 fps, some dips below 60 with fsr on ultra.I haven't tried the dlss mod just yet.

So you guys still think I might be able to play it on my 1070 and 6th gen i7 and have an enjoyable experience

No. Unfortunately not :(

The 2060 gets 45FPS at 1080p low, so the 1070 will be worse than that. Although, that is without using FSR, so maybe with FSR it will be playable.

The 1070 gets just under 30 fps with medium settings in that video, so if you drop to low and set a 30fps cap then you could play at console frame rate.

FSR2 will probably not look good at 1080p.
